26 July 2025 Got it! When you enter a **sale invoice in Tally** and it’s showing both **inwards and outwards** stock movement, causing your **closing stock to become zero**, here’s what might be happening:

### Why this happens:

* Sale invoice in Tally typically **reduces stock (outwards)** because you are selling goods.
* But if you are also seeing **inwards (stock receipt) entry** for the same item in the same voucher, that’s likely causing the stock balance to zero out.
* This can happen if you have **configured the voucher wrongly** or selected the wrong stock movement type.

### How to fix it:

1. **Check Voucher Type:**

* For sales, you should use **Sales Voucher** or **Sales Invoice**.
* It should show **only Outwards** movement for stock items.

2. **Check Stock Item details in the voucher:**

* While entering the item, make sure the **stock quantity is recorded as Outward (negative)**.
* Don’t enter quantity as both inward and outward for the same item in the same voucher.

3. **Check if "Inwards/Outwards" option is wrongly enabled:**

* Sometimes, due to user settings or wrong configuration, stock movement might get reversed.
* Verify that you are not entering the item twice or with different stock movements.

4. **Check Stock Journal or Voucher Configurations:**

* If you are using any Stock Journal voucher for sales accidentally, it will affect stock balances both ways.
* For sales, always use Sales Voucher.

### Quick steps to verify/correct:

* Open the sale invoice voucher.
* See the stock item details screen.
* Verify the quantity is only **going out** (shown in red or negative stock).
* If stock is also going in (positive), delete that entry.
* Save and check the stock summary again.
