You're facing a **Tally entry issue** while adjusting **advance salary** against actual salary due.
Let me explain step-by-step, with **correct journal entries** and how to deal with the **"Dr ????" issue** in Tally:
---
## 🧾 **Case Summary:**
* You gave **₹7,900 as advance** in July to an employee.
* His monthly salary is **₹7,000**.
* Now in July month-end, you need to **adjust salary** against the advance.
---
## ✅ **Step-by-Step Journal Entries in Tally**
### 🔹 **1. Entry when Advance is Paid in July:**
```text
Advance Salary A/c Dr. ₹7,900
To Bank/Cash A/c ₹7,900
```
* **Advance Salary** is a **Current Asset**
* You can create it under **Current Assets → Loans & Advances (Assets)**
* **Use employee’s name** as **Cost Centre** (optional but useful)
---
### 🔹 **2. Salary Due Entry at Month-End (July):**
```text
Salary Expense A/c Dr. ₹7,000
To Salary Payable A/c ₹7,000
```
* Use **Indirect Expenses → Salary Expense**
* Salary Payable is a **Current Liability**
---
### 🔹 **3. Adjustment Entry (Advance Settled):**
Now, you need to **adjust Salary Payable** using the Advance.
```text
Salary Payable A/c Dr. ₹7,000
To Advance Salary A/c ₹7,000
```
✅ This is the journal you’re referring to where Tally asks for another **"Dr ????"**
🔧 **Solution**: That happens **only if you’re passing the entry in "Payment Voucher" or wrongly mapped Ledger.**
📌 You must pass this as a **Journal Voucher**, not a Payment Voucher.
---
### 💡 In Tally – Use These Steps:
1. Go to **Accounting Vouchers (F7 – Journal)**
2. Debit: **Salary Payable** → ₹7,000
3. Credit: **Advance Salary** → ₹7,000
4. Add narration: *Adjustment of salary against advance for July 2011*
✅ Now your advance is settled, and ₹900 (extra advance) remains in Advance Salary A/c.
---
### 🔹 **4. When Paying August Salary (₹7,000):**
Since ₹900 advance is still left, adjust as follows:
```text
Salary Expense A/c Dr. ₹7,000
To Advance Salary A/c ₹900
To Salary Payable A/c ₹6,100
```
Then make payment:
```text
Salary Payable A/c Dr. ₹6,100
To Bank A/c ₹6,100
```
---
### ✅ Final Tip:
Make sure:
* **Advance Salary ledger** is under **Current Assets**
* **Salary Payable** is under **Current Liabilities**
* All **journal entries** are done via **F7 – Journal**, not in Payment or Receipt
---
