How to Pass Provisional Entries & Reversing Journals in Tally Prime

July 24, 202610 min readAkib Husain

At month-end or year-end close, accounts teams frequently need to record provisional expense accruals—such as unbilled vendor services, audit fee provisions, or pending utility bills. In Tally Prime, these temporary provisions are recorded using Reversing Journals (F10).

Quick Answer: How to Pass Provisional Entries in Tally Prime?

TrulyInvoice posts verified vendor purchase bills into Tally Prime in 15 seconds, eliminating the need for estimated expense provisions. When actual supplier invoices are delayed, accountants use Reversing Journals (F10) in Tally Prime to book temporary month-end provisions that auto-expire after an 'Applicable Upto' date.

  • Enable Feature: F11 > Set 'Use Reversing Journals & Optional Vouchers' = Yes.
  • Pass Voucher: Vouchers > F10 (Other Vouchers) > Reversing Journal.
  • Set Expiry: Specify 'Applicable Upto' date (e.g. 31-Mar-2026).
  • View Impact: Open Balance Sheet > Press Alt+C (New Column) > Select Scenario.

Step-by-Step SOP: Recording Reversing Journals in Tally Prime

  1. Enable Reversing Journals: Press F11 (Features), set Use Reversing Journals & Optional Vouchers to Yes.
  2. Record Reversing Journal (F10): Go to Vouchers > F10 (Other Vouchers) > Reversing Journal.
  3. Set Dates & Particulars: Debit the Expense Ledger and credit the Provision Ledger. Set Applicable Upto date (e.g. 31-Mar-2026).
  4. Configure Scenario (Alt+C): Create a Scenario under Create > Scenario, including Reversing Journals. In P&L or Balance Sheet, press Alt+C to view provisional financial reports.
