POST DATED VOUCHER

2.  While entering vouchers, the user can post-date them. Tally
does not update the related ledgers, till the date specified by the user.
This is useful for entering transactions that take place on a regular basis.
For example, if you pay interest on loan at the beginning of each quarter,
the user can pass payment entries with the dates as 01.04.2006,
01.07.2006, 01.10.2006 and 01.01.2007, and mark them ‘Post-dated’.
 These entries will be entered in the ledger accounts only on
the dates mentioned in the vouchers. These dates will be considered by
Tally, based on the ‘Date of Las Entry’.
