21 October 2012 Your query is not clear. Do you want to limit the number of groups that can be created in Tally? There is no such feature in Tally.

However, you can use the security feature to prevent a particular user from creating Groups in Tally.

26 July 2025 Got it! You want to set a **credit limit at the Group level** in Tally ERP 9, so that the combined outstanding of all ledgers under a group (like "Nagpur") does not exceed a specified limit, similar to how individual ledger credit limits work.

---

### Short answer:

**Tally ERP 9 does NOT have a built-in feature to set a credit limit at the Group level.**

---

### What you can do:

* You can set **credit limits for individual ledgers** (parties), but not at the group level.
* If you want to control total exposure for a region or group of parties (like Nagpur), you’ll have to monitor this manually or through custom reports.
* Alternatively, you can explore **custom Tally add-ons** developed by third parties that might provide this functionality.
* You can also use **Tally’s security controls** and **alerts** to notify when individual ledger limits are breached.

---

### Workarounds:

1. Set credit limits on each ledger under "Nagpur" (Party A, B, C).
2. Manually or periodically check total outstanding under "Nagpur" group.
3. Use reports like **Outstanding Receivables by Group** to track combined balances.
4. Implement manual approval or alerts when combined limit exceeds threshold.

If you want, I can help you with:

* How to set credit limits on individual ledgers.
* How to generate reports to track group-wise outstanding balances.
* Suggest third-party addons or ways to automate this.
