This is a non-accounting voucher and the entries made using it will not affect your accounts. That is, TallyPrime does not post these entries to ledgers but stores them in a separate Memorandum Register.
Some uses for Memo Vouchers
Making suspense payments
For example, the company gives an employee cash to buy office supplies, the exact nature and cost of which are unknown. You could enter a voucher for the petty cash advance, a voucher to record the actual expenditure details when they are known, and another voucher to record the return of surplus cash.
However, a simpler way is to enter a Memo voucher when the cash is advanced, and then turn it into a Payment voucher for the actual amount spent, when known.
For example : the Company pays its employee ₹. 1000 as petty cash advance for Office Expenses.
The following entry has to be passed. :
