How to Use Groups in Tally

How to Use Groups in Tally

Introduction

Tally follows the modern way of managing accounts called 'Single Ledger' concept of accounting. This is in direct contrast to Subsidiary Ledger Accounting. All financial entries are made using ledgers or account heads. Ledger accounts are created to identify transactions.

The single ledger concept avoids the need for sub-ledgers and corresponding control accounts in General Ledger. Tally allows you to group ledger information to generate meaningful reports that are compliant with laws. Groups in Tally classify and identify account heads according to their nature. This helps in presenting summarized information.

Classification of Account Heads

Usually, grouping of accounts is done only when reports are needed. This may result in delay in preparing the reports. Tally allows you set up chart of accounts.
You can group the ledger accounts while creating them. This will enable your reports and statements to reflect the desired classification at any point. In Tally, you can also re-group the ledgers (with some minimal restrictions) if re-classification is necessary. Re-grouping becomes necessary whenever there is a change in the nature of information. However, re-grouping can be done only by users who have authorised rights.

At the highest level of grouping, accounts are classified into capital or revenue — specifically into assets, liabilities, income and expenditure. Based on mercantile accounting principles, Tally provides a set of reserved groups and allows you to modify their names or create sub-groups.

Sub-Groups

A Sub-Group behaves exactly like a group and is created under a group.
Concept of Sub-Groups
Groups have a hierarchical structure. The main group of accounts that determine the entire accounting and their presentation are the asset, liability, income or the expenditure. These main groups ascertain whether a ledger affects Profit & Loss Account as a revenue item or if it affects the Balance Sheet.
The Reserved Primary Groups and subgroups are:
