# Do not Allow Debit Balance of a Party while Billing YouTube: [How To Disable Credit - Based Sales in the Sale Bill ?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RlHkCD-kS6o) ## How To Disable Credit - Based Sales in the Sale Bill ?  In this tutorial, we will explore how to **restrict debit balance** for a party while billing in **Logic ERP**. This feature ensures that sales transactions are processed only when payments are received, preventing unwanted credit transactions. ### **Accessing Sales Voucher Configuration** 1. Open **Sales Voucher Configuration** in Logic ERP. 2. Select the relevant **billing series** for which this restriction should apply. 3. Locate the feature labeled **"Do not allow debit balance of a party while billing."** 4. By default, this feature is **enabled**. Let’s see how it affects billing after enabling it.

Let's enable this feature and observe its impact in Billing

### **Attempting to Generate a Credit Bill After Enabling the Restriction** * Try to **generate a sales bill in credit mode**. * Upon saving, the software displays an **error message** stating that the party balance will become a debit and the bill **cannot be saved**.

As you can see, the software has prompted a notification.

* To proceed, the bill must either: * Be processed in **cash mode**, or * Be covered by an **advance payment** from the party. * **Handling Advance Payments** * Billing in credit mode is allowed up to the advance payment amount. * Verify advance payment in **Bank Receipts** (e.g., ₹3,600). * Generate a **sales bill in credit mode** within the advance amount. * If the bill exceeds the advance, an **error message** prompts adjustment. ### **Observing Default Behavior (Feature Disabled)** * Generate a **sales voucher in credit mode** and save the bill. * The bill is successfully saved in **credit mode** without any restrictions. * To verify, check the **ledger report**, which confirms that the ledger posting has been reflected in Logic ERP accounts. ### **Verifying Ledger Posting** * Once the bill is successfully saved, check the **ledger report**.

As you can see, the ledger posting has been recorded under Cash in Hand.

* The ledger now reflects: * The **advance payment amount**. * The **corresponding adjustments** made for the sales transaction.

Here, you can see that the advance amount has been successfully posted in the ledger.

#### **Conclusion** By enabling this feature, Logic ERP ensures **better credit control** by restricting sales on credit unless a **valid advance payment** is received. This helps businesses maintain financial discipline and avoid excessive credit exposure. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
