Post-Dated Vouchers in TallyPrime

A Post-Dated Voucher is a voucher (like Payment, Receipt, Journal, etc.) that is entered today but is dated for a future date.  It does not affect your books of accounts or reports until that future date arrives. 

Post-dated vouchers help you plan and schedule transactions for future periods, making it easier to manage your finances, and they are typically associated with cheques, payments, or receipts scheduled for a later date.

They help in better planning, managing cash flow, and avoiding missed entries when the actual payment/receipt happens later. 

Common Use Cases for Post-Dated Vouchers:

• Post-dated cheques for payments and receipts
• Future-dated salary payments
• Scheduled vendor payments
• EMI payments for loans
