Enable System Date for Daybook Report for TallyPrime
View System Entry Date Directly in Daybook for Better Audit & Transparency
Introduction
The Daybook report in TallyPrime is one of the most critical reports used for reviewing daily transactions like sales, purchases, and payments. However, by default, it only shows the Voucher Date (accounting date). It does not display the Actual System Entry Date (when the operator actually saved the entry). This gap can lead to:
- Zero visibility for auditors on when transactions were actually recorded
- Difficulty in identifying unauthorized backdated entries
- Lack of accountability in teams regarding timely data entry
- Confusion in transaction timelines during financial reconciliations
The Enable System Date for Daybook Report Add‑on by Pragyantra enhances the Daybook by displaying the actual system entry date alongside voucher details, ensuring complete operational transparency.
What is “Enable System Date for Daybook”?
This add‑on is a custom Tally module that adds a dedicated System Date (Entry Date) column in the Daybook report. With this add‑on installed, your Daybook will display:
- Accounting Voucher Date: The date you want the entry to show in books.
- System Entry Date: The actual calendar date when the entry was made.
- Comparison View: Easily spot the gap between the two dates for every transaction.
- Standard Details: Voucher Number, Ledger name, and Amount remain fully integrated.
Why Businesses Need This Add‑on
Relying only on voucher dates is a major security risk. If an entry for April is made in June, a standard Daybook won't tell you. The Pragyantra Daybook System Date Add‑on solves this by providing dual visibility, making it impossible for delayed or backdated data entry to stay hidden from management.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. Does this add-on change the look of my standard Daybook?
It adds one additional column for 'System Date'. The rest of the report remains exactly as you are used to, keeping the user experience simple and familiar.

Yes. This is the biggest advantage! You can filter the report to see all entries actually recorded on a specific calendar date, regardless of their accounting voucher date.
3. Will the System Date appear on my printed Daybook?
Yes, the add-on is designed to include the System Date column in the print format as well, making it perfect for physical audit file documentation.
