Answer by Me

When you get advance , it is just like loan received by you before giving goods to your customers .

For this pass the journal entry

Bank or Cash Account Debit Rs .5000 ( For example )

Creditor account ( Give the name of person from whom you get advance money ) Credit Rs 5000

Because , you get cash and creditor is giver so creditor account must be credit .

If you are working on tally 9 then there is no need creating cash ledger because it is automatically created by tally 9
But you need to create Bank account , if you have gotten cheque . for this

Account Info and after this ledger and after this create bank account under bank account
and accept it
after this you can create creditor ledger ( for every person from whom you get money in advance ) under the head of Sundry Creditor or Loan and liabilities .and after this accept each creditor ledger .

You can same create it in Accounting Voucher by pressing short cut command Alt+ C

after this we you will give the goods to your customer , you have to open receipt voucher and then pass the voucher entry

Cash or bank Account Debit 1000 ( balance of sale value )
Creditor account Debit 5000 ( Tally automatically adjust this from your creditor accounts advance with sale value price )

Sale account credit 6000
