In which voucher type credit sales is recorded in tally?

In Tally, it is possible to record credit sales entry in the following accounting vouchers:

• Sales Voucher 
• Journal Voucher

Generally, sale entries whether credit sales or cash sales are recorded in the Sales vouchers. Also, I strongly recommend you to record sales entries in the Sales voucher only as it can record various aspects related to credit sales like the sales order number, delivery note number, particulars of creditor and much more.

In this answer, I have shown the steps to record a credit sales entry into the Sale voucher. My answer is based on Tally Prime, the latest version of Tally. If you are using Tally ERP 9, there will be only a few areas of differences which are not that significant. 

Steps to record credit sales in Sales voucher

To record credit sales entry, you have to first open the Sales voucher creation window. To open the Sales creation window, the steps are as follows:

Gateway of Tally → Voucher → Press F8 

The Sales voucher creation window will open and will look like this:

Now, there are three modes to the sales voucher which you can be accessed and changed from the ‘Change mode’ option in the right-hand side menu or by simply pressing Ctrl + H. Upon pressing Ctrl  + H, the Change mode option will open.

I will recommend you to use ‘Item Invoice’ mode. It looks like an invoice and it is easier to use and understand. The image of the sale voucher given is in the item invoice only.

Now to have to fill in the following details:

• Reference number of the sale entry if there is any
• Select the Party name or the name of the debtor (Press ALT + C if you want to create a new debtor)
• The dispatch details menu will open. Enter the details if you want otherwise leave them blank.
• The party details menu will open asking again for the party name and party’s other details.
• Select the name of the item to be sold (Create stock item if not created before by pressing Alt + C when in Name of Item field)
• Enter the quantity and rate of the item and the total amount will be auto-populated.
• After it, the accounting details menu will open where you have selected the sales account you want to credit. If a sales account is not created, press ALT + C to create it.
• Enter narration if you desire and finally accept the voucher.

This is a completed sales voucher:

Hence, this is how you have recorded a credit sales entry in the sales voucher.
