Material Out Voucher (Raw Material) in TallyPrime: 3 Easy Steps

The Material Out voucher in TallyPrime is crucial for recording the transfer of raw materials or any inventory items out of your organization’s stock.

This voucher type is particularly useful for scenarios involving:

• Outsourced Manufacturing (Job Work): Transferring raw materials to a job worker for processing into finished goods.
• Internal Transfers: Moving raw materials between godowns (warehouses) within your company.
• Sales of Raw Materials: If you occasionally sell raw materials directly (less common).

1. Creating a Material Out Voucher for Raw Materials in TallyPrime:

1. Gateway of Tally (Alt+F12): Launch TallyPrime and navigate to the Gateway of Tally menu.
2. Create Voucher (Alt+F7): Select “Create Voucher.”
3. Material Out (Optional): You might see “Material Out” directly listed under “Create Voucher.” If not, proceed to step 4.
4. Other Vouchers (F10): Press F10 (Other Vouchers) and choose “Material Out” from the voucher type list.

2. Entering Details for the Material Out Voucher:

• Stock Items: Choose the specific raw material items being transferred.
• Stock Item Allocation (Optional): If using batches, you can specify the batch(es) of raw materials being transferred for each stock item.
• Quantity: Enter the quantity of each raw material item being transferred.
