TALLY TUTORIAL

Advanced Inventory

In the first volume, you learnt some basic inventory operations.  You learnt to record movement of goods - goods in and goods out. There are many other aspects to stocks that are being taken up now.

Order Processing

In Tally, order processing is linked to inventories.  You can track the order position of a stock item, know what goods that were ordered have arrived, whether you have fulfilled the orders on time and what is the delay, if any.

In this module, you learn how to record purchase orders, and to call the orders while entering a purchase invoice and likewise with sales orders and sales invoices.

You will also learn how to display outstanding orders position and the effect of orders on stocks.

Remember, orders do not affect financial records nor do they update inventories.
