9. Memo voucher (CTRL+ F10):- Memorandum Vouchers is a non-accounting voucher and the entries made using the memo voucher will not affect your accounts. In other words, Tally does not post these entries to ledgers but stores them in a separate Memorandum Register.

   • You can use the Memorandum Vouchers for:

   • Payments towards suspense accounts – consider a company gives its employee cash for Conveyance expenses, the exact nature and cost of which are unknown. For such transactions, you can enter a voucher for the petty cash advance. A voucher to record the actual expenditure details when they are known, and another voucher to record the return of surplus cash. However, a simpler way of doing it is to enter a Memo voucher when the cash is advanced, and then turn it into a Payment voucher for the actual amount spent, when the actual details are known.
   • Vouchers not verified at the time of entry – if you do not understand the details of a voucher you are entering, you can enter it as a Memo voucher and amend it later when the details are available.
   • Items given on approval – Generally completed sales are entered into books. In case items are given on approval, use a Memo voucher to track and convert it into a proper Sales voucher. You can delete the memo voucher if the sale is not made.
