Quick Summary
This discussion explores how to accurately record school bus fee transactions in Tally software. When ₹8,000 is received against a ₹10,000 receivable, with ₹2,000 allowed as a discount, the question arises whether to use a Receipt Voucher or a Journal Voucher. While a Receipt Voucher automatically updates receivables, a Journal Voucher offers more flexibility for modifying accounts and can be used to record the discount or bad debt. The recommended entry involves debiting Bank/Cash and Discount accounts and crediting the School Bus Fee Receivable account.

Receipt voucher updates receivables received automatically? If that is the case, use journal voucher and it is my favourite because you can modify all accounts. If you have received payments and 2000 is pending, then pass a journal for that amount 2,000₹ to bad debt or discount allowed depending upon your convenience.

wrong in case of any receipt bank or cash pass receipt entries.

I learned it from download version so no way to find out what happens after the payment is received. Millions of them don’t know that  all transactions are to covered,

Accounting wise, it is possible, 

Bank 8000

Bad debt 2000

To Receivables 10000

If it is a conventional sap it will not allow entry of receivables.

All receivables is linked to an invoice.

Unless the receipt is linked to an invoice it will not allow such entry.

If I get a chance, I’ll work in tally if the process involves holistic accounting process which is rare. 

I am talking about navasion sap
In receipt voucher
Bank/ cash a/c Dr. . ₹8000
