Regarding advance payment example by tally
Dr. Loans and advances or current assets
Cr. Bank.
Salary is not even an advance because people get salary on 15th instead of first. Even if they consider it as an advance,
Dr. Salary expense
Cr. Loans and advances account.
This cannot be booked under purchases because cost of labour is included into closing stock.
Next, advance fuel payment. This is also included into closing stock.
Dr. Advance fuel payment asset
Cr. Bank
When the driver uses the fuel cards/tokens,
Dr. Fuel expense
Cr. Advance fuel payment
An expense is a purchase means margin ratios might get impacted.
Actually these are all costing profit and loss statement transactions
Supposing, machinery maintenance is 100 rupees
Profits due to purchases reduce by 100, closing inventory offsets that loss. Bank reduces and inventory increase. Since the fuel is operating expense, it won't impact gross margin. Thus it can be reported anywhere in tally
