Scenario

It is a very useful feature in tally which enables us to foresee the financial situation of the business based on certain probable conditions. It is useful for generating reports with provisional figures without actually affecting the main database. It is also helps in forecasting by entering forecast figures in provisional vouchers and including them to get forecasted reports.

Vouchers that are used in Scenario management are:

• Memorandum voucher

• Optional Voucher

• Reversing Journal

Any number of scenario each including and/or excluding one or more types of these voucher entries can be created.

Renumbering of Voucher Automatically

In the voucher type, if you have chosen Automatic method of voucher numbering, then in that case if you delete or insert or even change the date of any saved voucher, tally will again renumber all the vouchers automatically in a chronological manner.
