Apart from the pre-defined Reserved Groups, you can create new groups that may be Primary or sub-group to any existing Group / sub-group.

Control Ledger Groups

Tally 9 does not have any concept of Sub Ledgers. Through its ability to nest Groups & Ledgers, you are able to organize the accounts quite efficiently. However, you may need to create several hundred ledgers which may clutter the Final Accounts. To simplify this, you may specify any Group as Control Account. In that case, Tally will show the control totals and clubbed figures of the underlying ledgers, while providing individuals transaction & balance of each individual Ledger.

Posting Closing Stock Value in Accounts:

Integrated Accounts and Inventory:

Tally provides option to post stock value from Inventory directly to Balance Sheet & Profit and Loss A/c., as per the valuation method specified by user. This greatly simplifies the procedure and you get the Final Accounts which is in tune with the Stock statements of the Inventory System.

If you are maintaining only Accounts, then Tally provides you option to enter the value of closing stock for any specified date. The system is flexible and you do not need to create any Journal Voucher. It automatically picks up the closing stock value of the corresponding date and you can print Balance Sheet and PL account of any date at a keystroke.

Non-Integrated Accounts and Inventory:

When you wish to maintain Inventory but do not wish to link it with Accounts, you do everything in the same manner as you do in Integrated Accounts & Inventory, the only difference being that you are allowed to enter your own value of closing Stock, which gets reflected in Balance Sheet and Profit & Loss Account.
