Dear Friends, I have a doubt can u clarify on this regard.

Since the transaction between the HO & Branch is done through Form-F,  Its not a Sale, its movement of goods between branches and to avoid the Tax.  Since in the first case of Transfer from HO to Branch its for captive consumption because the goods is processed at Branch.  In second case the processed goods in different form (may be different Product) is stock transfered to HO with Form-F. You must have a Stock Register at HO and Branch with Form-F details to substantiate the goods movement.  Only at HO when you raise the Invoice to X party you treat it as sale and Account for it.  What is that entries of Dr. Branch and Cr. STock etc.

In such case: -

If the sale is made from branch itself, then it is advised to record sales at branch only.

Otherwise the following entries can be passed: -

1. Stock A/c Dr.

         To Branch A/c

2. Party A/c Dr.

       To Sales A/c.

1) In the books of Head Office
