Dear Raja PM Sir,

Thanks for your reply.

please let me know if it is more than what should we do?

More than means...??

Ask with details

Both can be done.

Sample journal:

Expense Acc. Dr.
To Vendor 1 Acc.

---

Expense Acc. Dr.
To Vendor 2 Acc.

---

Expense Acc. Dr.
To Vendor 3 Acc.
To Vendor 4 Acc.

---

Vendor x Acc. Dr.
To Bank/Cash Acc.

You have pass separate entry each vendor, because you have to mention, Invoice numbers, date and other details, which are different for each Vendor ,even though repair and maintenance expenses are same for each Vendor. ( you can not pass combine entry) , take more Opinion on this.

More than mean If we are taking repair and maintenance services from more than one vendor. In that case should we use only one account named "Repair and Maintenance Account" to record respective entries?

Note;:

If we use above procedure, we will mention vendor name, invoice/bill no and other details in narration. 

Yes, You can account all vendors bills in that one head.

You can pass entries as per Mr Manish reply...
You can give details as per Mr Prasad Nilugal reply...



Note;:

(If we use above procedure, we will mention vendor name, invoice/bill no and other details in narration)

You just enter in narration like actual works done in that repairs and maintenance head...

--> REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE is a Ledger account. You can account Under this ledger

--> Vendor (s) is another ledger. You can account separate vendors bills in their separate account.

--> In Tally You can enter the invoice number, Date itself in the Bill entry...

Dear Raja PM Sir,

Thanks for above detailed reply.

It is informed you that our firm is using Busy Accounting Software.

We can have record by both procedure (in single account head and in separate vendors ledger account).

Please let me know; what procedure is recommend by you to make record in better condition ?

Everything Is like that! You need two ledgers on your tally. 

1. Repairs and maintenance (direct)

2. Repairs as maintenance (Indirect) 

Me and @ Sabyasachi came to a conclusion few months ago. 

You need to record expense vendor wise. During audit expenses need to be analysed on vendor basis for scrutinizing violation of TDS or Sec 40A(3).

If you record all the transactions recorded as single expenses then you will find it difficult to bifurcate again at the time of audit.

So it is advisable to account  in separate vendors ledger account

It is informed you that our firm is using Busy Accounting Software.

Same time All softwares based on accounting principles, only..
