Enable Manual Numbering in Tally.ERP9

By default, Tally.ERP9 vouchers have Automatic Voucher numbering. It's useful when you don't have to post backdated vouchers. Automatic Voucher Numbering in Tally.ERP9 rearranges the numbers according to the voucher date, when you post backdated vouchers. If you have filed a printed copy of the voucher, there will be mismatch after backdated entry. You will find a different voucher in the system with the same number as in the file.

Best way to avoid this issue is to set the numbering as Manual when you start using the Tally.

If you start tally for the first time

Gateway of Tally->Accounts Info->Vouchertype->Alter-> [Select the vouchertype]-> Set the Method of Voucher Numbering to Mnaual->Set Prevent Duplicates to Yes

If you are an existing Tally user

Changing the numbering method to Manual for the vouchertypes having vouchers does have an issue It will blank the voucher numbers for the all the vouchers. So best method id to create a new vouchertype.

Gateway of Tally->Accounts Info->Vouchertype->Create-> Give any suitable name-> Select Type of Voucher-> Set the Method of Voucher Numbering to Mnaual->Set Prevent Duplicates to Yes


The number field will show blank whenever you create a new voucher. There is a shortcut key to get the last voucher number, CTRL+R.
