| How To Purchase Order In Tally |
Placing Your Order: From Humble Beginnings
First things first, you gotta fire up Tally. Navigate to the Gateway of Tally > Vouchers (because apparently, accounting is a grand adventure!). Here, you have two options:
QuickTip: Skip distractions — focus on the words.
- The Classic Approach (F9 - Purchase): This is your tried-and-true method, but for POs, there's a cooler route...
- The "Other Vouchers" Extravaganza (F10): Type in "Purchase Order" or rummage through the list and select it. Why the extra clicks? Because, my friend, drama!
Side note: If "Purchase Order" isn't there, don't fret! Just enable it in the Features menu (because sometimes, even Tally needs a little nudge).
Tip: Skim only after you’ve read fully once.
Supplier? Check. Item List? Check. Now Let's Get Specific!
Now that you've chosen your PO path, it's time to fill out the details. Think of it like an online shopping cart, but way more official (and hopefully with fewer impulse buys). Here's the lowdown:
QuickTip: Reading regularly builds stronger recall.

- Supplier: Select the lucky vendor who gets to fulfill your office supply (or whatever) dreams.
- Stock Items: Here's where you list the goodies you need. Tally might even suggest some items based on past purchases (like a creepy, stock-predicting fortune teller). Don't worry, you're still in control!
- Quantity & Rate: This is where you unleash your inner mathematician. How many boxes of paperclips? What's the price per unit? Just remember, greatness starts with small details (and accurate calculations).
Pro Tip: You can add multiple items with different quantities and rates. It's like a choose-your-own-inventory adventure!
The All-Important Save: Don't Let Your Order Disappear!
Once you've filled your virtual cart, don't be a digital Scrooge! Hit that Ctrl+A button to save your masterpiece. Now, your supplier knows exactly what you need, and you've taken a big step towards conquering those empty shelves.
Remember: A PO is a formal document, so double-check everything before hitting save. You wouldn't want to order a lifetime supply of polka-dotted staplers by mistake (although, that could be a hilarious conversation starter).
And There You Have It! You've Conquered the PO!
There you have it! With these simple steps, you've created a purchase order in Tally. Now, go forth and multiply your inventory (responsibly, of course). Remember, with a little practice, you'll be a PO pro in no time, tallying up wins like a financial ninja!
