Sales commission and vendor commission

Hi Sumeet,

You're on the right track wanting to track both sales commission and vendor payout separately for each client in Tally Prime. Below is a clear breakdown of:

Ledger Setup
Voucher Entry (Journal or Sales Invoice with cost centers)
Tracking Outstanding Commissions

📁 1. Create the Following Ledgers in Tally Prime

Ledger Name	Under	Type / Notes
Sales A/c	Sales Accounts	For gross sales
Salesperson Commission	Indirect Expenses	Optional: use cost centers for client-wise
Vendor Commission	Direct Expenses	Optional: use cost centers for client-wise
Salesperson A (e.g., Raj)	Sundry Creditors	For tracking payable
Vendor A (e.g., Akash)	Sundry Creditors	For tracking payable
Client Name (e.g., ABC Ltd.)	Sundry Debtors	To record client sales

🧾 2. Voucher Entry Options

Option A: Use Journal Voucher (Simple Method)

This is ideal if you're only recording commissions after a sale is done.

Example Sale Amount: ₹100,000

Salesperson Commission @ 5% = ₹5,000
Vendor Commission @ 10% = ₹10,000

Journal Voucher:

➡️ Now, you can track outstanding balances under Sundry Creditors and make payments later.

Option B: Use Sales Voucher with Cost Centers (Advanced/Better Tracking)

Step 1: Enable Cost Centers:

Go to: F11 > Accounting Features > Enable Cost Centers (Yes)
Also: Enable "Use Cost Centre for: Ledger"

Step 2: Create Cost Centers for Each Client or Sale

E.g., "Client – ABC Ltd."

Step 3: In Sales Voucher

Record Sales with service details
Split commission amounts using Journal Voucher (as above), but assign the cost center to each line item

➡️ Later, generate reports like:

Cost Centre Breakup
Outstanding Payables to Salesperson/Vendor per client

💡 Tips:

Create separate ledger groups under Commission Payables if you want to better classify them.
Use Voucher Class in Tally to automate entries if commissions are fixed per sale.
You can also add narration like “Commission for ABC Ltd. on Invoice #123 dated xx-xx-xxxx” to trace back later.

📊 Reports You Can Use:

Outstanding Payables (Display > Statements of Accounts > Outstanding > Ledger)
Cost Centre Reports (Display > Cost Centres > Ledger Break-up or Cost Centre Break-up)
