On the main screen | Now we are on the main screen. |
Point to Master menu
|
We have already discussed about how to create an account under the Master menu by selecting Account Creation/Find/Edit
This time we will discuss about Transactions from the main menu. |
Click on Transactions.
|
Under Transactions, you can enter different types of transactions. |
Select Contra option
|
From these options, I shall select Contra. Alternatively, you can use the shortcut key Alt+C from your keyboard.
As you all know, in Contra transaction we can use accounts with Sub-group Cash and Bank. |
/* Slide 6 */ | As an example, consider a Contra transaction for Cash deposit to SBI bank Rs.2000 on 01-04-2011. |
/* Slide 7*/
Screen with Contra transaction |
For recording a Contra transaction, we should create two accounts first.
The account will have the Group name - Current Assets, Sub Group - Bank and Account Name - SBI.
|
/* Interface */
Type CA12 in Voucher No |
Now, I will show you how to record Contra transaction.
The first text-box is for Voucher Number. Voucher No can take alphanumeric characters. So I will type CA12. |
Shift to date text box by using the tab button on your keyboard.
|
Next comes the Date field, it is to be entered in date, month and year format (DD-MM-YYYY).
You will notice that in the Date field, The first day of the financial year of the organisation I.e 1st April 2011 appears by default. You can edit this date if you wish. |
Point to Dr/Cr option | The first option in the dropdown box is Dr/Cr.
Depending on the nature of the transaction, we will select Dr or Cr option from this drop down. |
Select the Dr option | I will select the Dr option. |
Select SBI Bank account | The next field is Account Name.
It has a dropdown box which shows all the existing Account names. I will select SBI. |
Enter Rs 2000 as amount | The next is Debit Amount.
I will enter Rs 2000 as the debit amount. |
Click on Ok button | Then I will click on Ok button. You can see that one row is added. |
From Dr/Cr dropdown Select Cr option
|
Now we will see the second part of the transaction that is the credit side.
I will select Cr (Credit) option from DR/CR dropdown. From the Account Name I will select Cash account. |
Type 1000 as amount | Because I have selected Credit (Cr) option, the amount will be entered in the Credit Amount column.
Notice that Rs.2000/- comes as default Credit Amount. This is because, as per the accounting practice, the amounts on both debit and credit side should tally. I will enter a different amount, lets say, Rs. 1000 and Click on Ok button. Let me show you what happens if you now click on Save. |
Type 1000 for the credit entry.
|
Notice that an alert message appears saying Credit and Debit amounts does not tally. |
Click on the delete icon
Choose Cash account Type Rs. 2000 |
Since we have no other cash or bank account we will delete the credit entry by clicking on delete icon.
First we have to select the Cash account Now I will type the same amount as the debit amount. Rs. 2000. |
Point to Total Debit Amount and Credit Amount | If the amount is entered correctly, the total of debit amount will be equal to the credit amount. |
Type Being cash deposit into bank in the Narration box | Here in the Narration box, type the details of the transaction.
I will type Being cash deposit into bank. |
Click on the Save button | When you are done, to save this transaction click on the Save button. |
Point to message | When I click on Save button, message appears saying Transaction Record has been saved. |
Point to Transactions Menu | This way, you can record another transaction.
That’s it for this tutorial. In the next few tutorials, we will learn more about GNUKhata.
