Bank Transactions
Besides contra voucher, you can record bank deposits and withdrawal entries using payment and
receipt vouchers respectively.
To do so, change the option “Use payment receipt as contra voucher “to Yes
This will let you record bank deposit and withdrawal entries using payment and receipt vouchers
respectively.
Consider this transaction:
Paid 10,000 towards traveling expense and 5000 towards food expense.
We can use F5:Payment voucher to record this entry as follows:
The above entry is recorded in double entry mode. We can record the same transaction in single
entry mode.
Press F11 and change the option, “Use single entry mode for…vouchers” to Yes
Now we don’t need to pass a journal entry.
In the field “Account”, We selected the mode of payment as Cash and then listed all the expense
particulars.
If the payment would been made through bank, then select the bank ledger to be credited in the
“Account” field.
This feature is useful when you want to record multiple expenses in faster way instead of debiting
each and every expense ledger one after the other.
The above method will have same effect as recording journal entry.
