Monitoring a customer’s and a supplier’s credit limitations is a wise business strategy. This facilitates better management of a company’s payables and receivables.
The standard method for determining credit limits is to consider the reliability, volume of transactions, payback capacity, etc. of the client and supplier.
Tally ERP 9 offers the Credit Limit option to determine the maximum amount of credit that can be granted to a customer or a supplier in order to ensure better credit management.
With the help of this function, business owners may guarantee that no invoice will be created that exceeds the specified credit limit unless the user has the authority to change it.
In Tally ERP 9, setting a Credit Limit for the party ledgers is quite easy and straightforward.
On the party ledger creation or alteration screen, all you have to do is enable the option and enter the limit.
Activating Credit Limit:
- Visit the Tally Gateway and select F11: Accounting Features.

Credit Limit for One Ledger:

Let’s try to pass a sales invoice using a ledger called “Modern Timbers” (Sundry Debtors) for an amount greater than “1,000,00,” which is the designated credit limit for this ledger, in order to show how the credit limit affects the transaction. The prompt message “Credit Limit of the selected party exceeded” will be displayed whenever the invoice is raised over this limit, as illustrated in Tally.ERP 9:
The Order and Invoice entry vouchers (Sales and Purchase) show the available limitations by showing the current balance and the credit limit of the Ledger accounts. If you need to make a transaction that exceeds your credit limit, you can change it if you have the proper authorization. Thus, you can effortlessly create credit limits for your party ledgers and take charge of your company’s receivables and payables with Tally.ERP 9. This lowers risks and enhances collection for your company.
