Grocery purchase.

Hi, As I don't have much experience in tally, today I tried to to open personal account to monitor my daily transaction. The doubt for me is related to groceries.

my question is:

1, In personal account groceries comes under indirect expense or purchase?

2, in tally receipt, do I need to use purchase or payment for the entries?

Quick Summary
This discussion explores how to correctly record grocery purchases within accounting software like Tally and Zoho Books.

If you spend on credit basis, you journal entries, else direct payment entry for accounting this
