Branch Transfer Accounting with Reports
A branch transfer is nothing but stock sent from Head Office/one Branch to another branch. Where as Consignment Transfer is sending the stock from either Head Office of Branch Office to its Agent. The Agent gets commission on the sale of Consignment where as Branch is the part of the organization. We can account such transaction in Tally ERP 9 with the help of Consignment/Branch Transfer VAT/Tax Class, and Branch/ Divisions Account Group. And there are two different Branch Accounting for Inter-Branch and Intra-Branch Transfers.
In both the cases you have create the Branch Ledger under Branch/ Division Account Head and stock received from Head Office should be taken as Purchases and returned stock to the Head Office should be treated as Sales. You have to select a different VAT/Tax Class while creating ledger.
Inter-Branch Transfer
When the goods are transferred to its branch located within the same state then this is known as the Inter-Branch Transfer. And it won’t affect the VAT. Only we have to create a ledger of the branch under Branch/ Division. For stock receipts you need to select Purchase Accounts Group Head and used in VAT Returns should be YES and VAT/Tax Class must be Consignment/Branch Transfer Inward. For stock sent to branch select Sales Accounts Group Head and used in VAT Returns should be YES and VAT/Tax Class must be Consignment/Branch Transfer Outward.
