Enable System Date and Voucher Entry Date for TallyPrime

Track Actual Entry Date vs Voucher Date for Better Audit & Control

Introduction

In accounting systems like TallyPrime, transactions are usually recorded with a voucher date, which represents the financial date of the transaction. However, in many cases, the actual entry date (system date) may differ significantly due to backdated entries, late data entry, or adjustments in previous periods. This lack of visibility can lead to:

• Serious audit complications and questions on data integrity
• Difficulty in tracking actual data entry timelines across teams
• Risk of unauthorized backdated manipulations
• Reduced transparency in financial reporting

The Enable System Date and Voucher Entry Date Add‑on by Pragyantra helps businesses track both the system entry date and voucher date, ensuring superior audit control and accountability.

What is “Enable System Date and Voucher Entry Date”?

This add‑on is a custom Tally module that captures and displays the real-time clock date alongside your accounting date. With this add‑on installed, Tally can:

• Capture Actual Entry Date: Records the exact calendar date when a voucher was saved.
• Dual-Date Visibility: Displays both dates in Daybook and Voucher Registers.
• Audit Trail Support: Provides auditors with a clear map of when entries were actually posted.
• Transparency: Eliminates the "guessing game" of when backdated entries were made.

Why Businesses Need This Add‑on

Without tracking system entry dates, business owners have no way of knowing if their staff is entering data on time or pushing entries at the last minute. The Pragyantra System Date Tracking Add‑on solves this by providing dual-date visibility for every transaction, making it impossible for backdated entries to go unnoticed.
