Age-wise Analysis of a Single Ledger Account in TallyPrime: 6 Steps

Here’s how to perform an age-wise analysis of a single ledger account in TallyPrime:

1. Utilizing the Ledger Outstandings Report with Ageing Analysis

1. Go to the Gateway of Tally (Alt+F12) in TallyPrime.
2. Navigate to Display > Statements of Accounts > Outstandings > Ledger.

Alternatively, you can use a keyboard shortcut:

• Press Alt+G (Go To) and type or select “Ledger Outstandings.”

3. Select the specific supplier/customer account for which you want to analyze outstanding bills (receivable or payable). This account could be a customer account for sales or a supplier account for purchases.

2. Configuring Ageing Analysis in TallyPrime:

4. Press F6 (Ageing Method) to access the age analysis settings.

Here, you can choose the method for calculating bill age:

1. Ageing by Bill Date:

Considers the voucher entry date for displaying outstanding amounts. (Useful for analyzing how long bills have been outstanding since creation).

2. Ageing by Due Date:

Considers the due date mentioned in the bill for displaying outstanding amounts. (Useful for understanding how overdue payments are).

3. Defining Age Slabs in TallyPrime:

5. Set the desired age periods (e.g., 0-30 days, 31-60 days, etc.) for categorizing outstanding bills. You can achieve this by:
   • Entering values directly in the “From” and “To” fields for each age slab.
   • Utilizing the “Set” buttons to define pre-defined ranges (e.g., 1-30, 31-60).

4. Viewing the Age-wise Breakdown in TallyPrime:

The Ledger Outstandings report will now display information like:

• Party: Name of the supplier/customer associated with the selected account.
• Last Bill Date: Date of the most recent bill for this account.
• Total: Total outstanding amount for this account (receivable for customers, payable for suppliers).
• Age Slabs: User-defined categories representing different outstanding bill age ranges.
• Amount (for each Age Slab): Breakdown of the total outstanding amount according to the defined age slabs. This shows how much is outstanding for a specific period (e.g., how much is due within 0-30 days, 31-60 days, etc.).

5. Example (Using a Customer Account and Ageing by Due Date):

6. Benefits of Age-wise Analysis of a Single Ledger Account in TallyPrime:

• Analyzes the age distribution of outstanding bills for a specific customer or supplier.
