Tally.ERP 9 - Series A
This first series of Tally.ERP 9 introduces several new capabilities. These are supported with seasoned and high quality sales & support partnerships, a revamped education model and improved development tools.
We have taken great pains to retain the essential look and feel as well and the user experience of the previous versions of Tally (6.3, 7.2, 8.1 & 9). Yet Tally.ERP 9 is a culmination of years of research & development – and with a development team of about 200 people.
Tally.ERP 9, Series A, is geared to meet three objectives:
One is saving you time that you can invest elsewhere, including in growing your business (there is a direct correlation between the time top management invests in strategy and business growth). This is achieved via remote access capabilities and the integrated support centre to enable many time saving processes like remote audit & compliance and anytime, anywhere access to your live business data.
The second is to enable timely & affordable access to experienced professionals like Chartered Accountants (who wish to offer such services). Since these professionals can now access your data remotely, from anywhere in the world, as well as address your queries via the integrated support centre, both the cost for such services and the time taken to resolve business problems will come down.
Finally, new features in Series A, notably in taxation for industry & professionals and cash accounting etc., deliver technology support for more of your business processes.
- On a broad level, Tally.ERP 9 comprises of:
The product itself
A set of capabilities (enabled via the Internet) by a service called Tally.NET
This 'two component' architecture was chosen as this delivers an unparalleled model, best understood as follows:
Your business data stays with you, locally, and is never stored on Tally.NET servers
Information in the form of queries and support issues logged via the integrated Support Centre are stored on the Tally.NET servers – as this data is not specific to a company in Tally.ERP 9 - and you have access to all this data from all your branches.
Account specific data - serial numbers, licenses and their status, version information across sites, specific configurations and restrictions are also stored on the Tally.NET servers. Among other advantages, this relieves you from maintaining your own central administration database.
Data Design:
Every Tally.ERP 9 connects to Tally.NET as a client, not as a 'server' listening to requests. This design makes your systems hack proof and secure.
Remote user identities are maintained at and authentication is provided by Tally.NET. You decide which user gets what level of access to your data; this information is stored with the company data. Data when moved between systems will carry these restrictions, embedded within.
Security Design:
Take the example of an office with multiple users (Tally.ERP 9 Gold). You require that specific program extensions, customizations and programmed controls be used by everyone in your office. With Tally.NET you configure a deployment package and apply security restrictions. These packages and security controls are deployed automatically to all users. This central deployment architecture can be extended across all your locations!
Remote users also get these deployed to their copy of Tally.ERP 9 automatically, for the period of remote access. This ensures that customizations are automatically available to all users having authorised access.
Deployment Design:
Functionality is - what you need the software to provide. We at Tally have never looked at providing functionality with this simplistic approach. The 'how' and 'why' are of overriding importance - and this is how we deliver features with high usability.
Following are some of the principles that drive the design of Tally.ERP 9:
Exceptions are the norm:
Pause and consider your organisation. You have laid down defined processes and procedures - so why do so many things land up on your table? Generally, within a defined framework, there will often be some need for a deviation. Software programs are great at supporting rigid, well defined processes - and break down (or become complex) when managing these deviations. Principle: design to manage exceptions - defined processes will automatically be supported.
Solutions bring problems:
Especially with IT solutions! Some of your business problems are managed by a software solution and how many software problems do you now have to manage? Database administration, performance tuning, service packs, drivers, software conflicts, IT professionals - the list is endless. Principle: solving a business need should not add new problems - these must be solved as well.
Knowledge is not known:
A lot of knowledge is contextual - when the situation arises we know how to respond. Therefore, no matter how much of analysis is done, it is hardly possible to comprehend the full range of the simplest of business process. In a purchase process one may follow the order, receipt and payment for one item and just a payment for another (say a consumable). Months can go by in needs analysis and yet things will be missed out. Principle: Do not make an assumption that any system setup will not undergo change.
Change is constant:
An old phrase by now, the accelerated rate of change throws up additional challenges. You place an order for 'A' and receive 'B'; order 'x' pieces and receive 'y'. Tax structures and percentages change at random, people leave organisations without notice. Principle: design to support extreme variations.
Good is 'bad':
What's essential for someone's business can be a hindrance to you - and every business, even in the same business space, has subtle differences in what data is captured, what reports are needed and what kind of control is needed. Principle: build in common functionality and build these well, and deliver capabilities that permit extremely easy extendibility and customisability.
Masters: Masters are what we get when we ask 'with whom?' With whom do we do business? Our customers and suppliers. 'With what?' - As in what do we transact with - services & inventory. 'Using what?' – give us taxes, units of measure, currency, batches. All these become 'masters'.
Transactions: What do we do with masters? We transact – sales, purchases, receipts, payments - these are the 'transactions'; records of the business activities we perform
When transactions are recorded, they create links - as in making a payment for purchase #72. The purchase reference #72 links these two documents, so we can get to know the payment status for that document, and know for which documents we have made payment. These links are called 'link masters'.
Neither masters nor transactions are truly in the hands of the software product - in the sense that these are defined by business practices. What must be captured, what is mandatory and that business transactions need to be recorded are not subject to 'design' ('how' these are done, is another matter!) What is unique is in the way these interactions are recorded, managed and reported upon.
The 'magic' of Tally is in the Link Masters - here, data of which transaction is linked to which document is maintained. The transactions themselves do not carry this information - effectively each document is an 'island' in itself, making it easy to alter, delete or insert at will - without the need to check if other transactions it refers to, exist at any time. This design permits all the flexibility required, supports incremental implementation and permits transactions to be recorded in any order (pay for purchase #72 first, then enter purchase #72).
While generating reports and totals (any totals) the above approach requires immense computing power to 'stitch' transactions together. We have developed proprietary, extremely high performance data storage & retrieval mechanisms to deliver these at very usable speeds. This architecture also allows you to mark transactions as 'optional', perform scenarios, synchronise data with branches, potentially recover from system errors, correct any errors in any transaction - anytime, report on ‘group’ companies and so many capabilities unique to Tally.ERP 9.
Editions Available
Tally.ERP 9 is presently available in two editions: Silver & Gold. With Series B, Diamond & Platinum editions will also be available.
Silver is for a single user, while Gold is for unlimited users on a Local Area Network (LAN).
What other differences exist between editions? None –all capabilities and features will be available in every edition. The only reason to choose between editions is the number of systems from which Tally.ERP 9 can be accessed.
A 'user' in this context is actually a computer system. We do not complicate your purchase decision with 'concurrent user', 'named user' and so on.
Therefore, Tally.ERP 9 Silver can be activated (as in licensed) on one computer and used from that same computer. Tally.ERP 9 Gold can be activated on one computer and accessed from any or all computers on that network.
Maintaining our philosophy – Power of Simplicity ® – you only need to choose an option that suits your needs.
If you decide to buy a Silver edition, you can migrate to Gold anytime. And with a Gold, as users increase, there is no need to come back to us for additional user licensing. You simply avoid the commercial, purchase & administrative complications of these changes.
Available exclusively for practicing Chartered Accountants, this edition comes will all the advantages of the Gold edition and with several extras!
Computer aided audit
Automatic scan of every ledger & voucher. These get flagged as 'potentially incorrect' with an indication of what that error could be. Send your clients these exception reports & get their clarifications
Scrutinise records as per type of audit or compliance you are undertaking (focused audit)
Filter out transactions you want to physically audit (for random audit)
Generate annexure for Section 44AB; Form 3CD Annexure Clause 16, Clause 17(h), Clause 21, Clause 24(a & b), Annexure II & Clause 27
View & verify tax liability via an all-in-one dashboard
These extra features are not available to Silver & Gold users:
With Remote Access these too become possible:
Overcome the shortage of article clerks by utilising existing resources better
Provide instant assistance & training to your article clerks
Monitor the quality of their work
Save on travel time and costs
Help clients file various tax returns by verifying documents quickly
Special Tally.NET features are also available:
Example your client has given access permission to you for audit and other purposes. You wish to assign this company to an article clerk who has been assigned a separate Tally.NET identity. Now your client need not give additional permissions to your article clerk – you can make this assignment yourself – making it easy to manage different articles as well as manage hires and exits easily
If you actually visit the clients location and log in with your identity - all Auditors' Edition features will be automatically available at this location as well - meaning that Remote Access is not always needed
You can login to your system or a clients system from an educational version of Tally.ERP 9 (from anywhere) or even from a regular Silver or Gold edition - you will get access to all Auditors' Edition features
Where more than one computer needs to have access to Tally.ERP 9, a Gold edition is what you need. Any number of users can simultaneously have read and write access. Note, that there can be some degradation of performance with a large number of users and we have found that the Gold edition is usable with a maximum of ten users. (Series B will deliver the Diamond & Platinum editions with support for hundreds & thousands of users).
Like with Silver you can manage as many companies (business entities) and personal books of accounts as you need. You may also create as many users as you need, and provide each with the appropriate level of security.
With Remote Access, you can authorise access to your Chartered Accountants, who with their Tally.ERP 9 - Auditors' Edition , can remotely provide audit, compliance and advisory services.
Similarly your Tally Service Partners can, via Remote Access, answers your queries and provide support.
As a Gold user, you can create ten Tally.NET identities, with which your mobile users can login to your system from home or while on the move. Other users of Tally.ERP 9 can also grant access to you by authorising these Tally.NET identities.
It is easy to migrate to Gold from Silver - contact your Tally Partner. Your license will get updated to Gold and you can now access Tally.ERP 9 from multiple systems without the need to make any other change!
It is easy to migrate to Gold from Silver - contact your Tally Partner. Your license will get updated to Gold and you can now access Tally.ERP 9 from multiple systems without the need to make any other change!
Where a single computer with Tally.ERP 9 is adequate for your operations, the Silver edition is what you need. A ‘user’ in this context is actually a computer system.
This edition comes with all the features & capabilities including Tally.NET and services like Remote Access.
With Silver you can manage as many companies (business entities) and personal books of accounts as you need.
You can also create as many users as you need, and provide each with the appropriate level of security. Your only restriction is that these users will all need to access Tally.ERP 9 from the system on which it is activated (licensed).
Since Silver supports Remote Access as well, you can authorise access to your Chartered Accountant, who with his Auditors’ Edition of Tally.ERP 9, can remotely provide audit, compliance and advisory services.
Similarly your Tally Service Partner can, via Remote Access, answer your queries and provide support.
As a Silver user, you can create one Tally.NET identity, which you can use to login to your own system from home or while on the move. Other users of Tally.ERP 9 can also grant access to you by authorizing this Tally.NET identity.
Migrating to Tally.ERP 9 from any prior version of Tally is simple - these tools are either built into the product itself or available as migration tools that are installed along with the product.
Typically, there will be no need to make any changes to the data post migration - and the transition time could be just minutes - a few hours at most.
Getting a bit more specific, Tally.ERP 9 will migrate all data from Tally 7.2 onwards, without any assistance. If you have an older version (6.3, 5.4 and so on) you will need to bring your data to 7.2 and then migrate (our Sales & Support partners will be able to help you). In any case these tools are available at no extra cost.
In a few cases you might have customised or extended Tally – this would have been done with one or more TDL's, most likely built by one of our partners. Tally.ERP 9 comes with a TDL conversion tool that will attempt to convert such TDL's. Note, the word 'attempt' – since both the product and the TDL language evolve, there is a small possibility that the conversion may not succeed. In such cases you would need to contact the author of the customisation and make the necessary changes to the TDL. We therefore recommend that where customisations exist, there be a simple pilot undertaken to assess impact.
Account Management is now a major feature available in Tally.ERP 9. As part of the 'Control Centre', you have a powerful way of managing your deployments. Included is serial number management.
- When moving to Tally.ERP 9 from other software (legacy) products you have two choices:
- Only relevant masters (Ledgers, Items and so on) are posted
- Masters and transactions are posted
The first option is the simplest - you 'cut over' to Tally.ERP 9 by ensuring that all opening balances and open dues (bill numbers, due dates & amounts) are available; here you continue to keep your previous software only to review old transactions.
The second option ranges from simple to very complex depending on how current transactions are stored and managed – yet you may choose to go with this option for several reasons and this is fully supported.
In both cases, what is required is that data be extracted from the legacy system and be made available in a specific XML format, which is then imported by Tally.ERP 9. These formats are available from within our product itself: all that is required is that you create a master or a transaction (in Tally.ERP 9) with a sample of the data you will provide and export these. The exported XML is in the same XML format that is required for import!
As before, it is best to plan this as a structured exercise along with your chosen Tally Partner, to ensure that your business is not impacted in unplanned ways.
All your accounting requirements are supported. And more. Accounting, also known as bookkeeping, is the recording and classifying of financial transactions into the books of accounts and associated registers.
Let us look at the some of the 'needs' for which businesses maintain books of accounts:
To fulfill legal requirements - records as per standards and practices
To pay taxes to various bodies - statutory needs
Keep the business running - manage receivables & payables, cash, bank.
Keep a watch on the pulse of the organisation - key performance indicators
Respond to queries - to locate the right transaction immediately
We have been perfecting this 'simple' recording - accounting - from over twenty years. All this to deliver better, faster and more flexible ways to fulfill your needs, not just maintain books of accounts. A few examples will illustrate:
With the entry of a voucher (this is what we call all accounting transactions) all books of accounts, all reports, all totals & sub-totals are updated instantly. There is nothing more that needs to be done - whether you are inserting a forgotten entry, or correcting one
Taxation requirements of all the states of India are available, in the prescribed formats
Supporting tasks like reminder letters, delayed interest, ageing, bank reconciliation
One single dashboard to look at all important business ratios
Drill down from any report, even the Balance Sheet, right to any voucher or filter and search
Data entry in the language of the users choice - and report in any other language (from the languages supported)
Mark vouchers that are draft as 'optional' and convert these to final- with one button click
Tally.ERP 9 comes with rich features & financial reports that give you the necessary management and control of your business. A few of these are listed below:
Funds Flow & Cash Flow reports – help you locate bottlenecks
Bank reconciliation - keeps your bank books in sync, and identify unclear instruments
Customer Credit Limits - to limit risk of default and large losses
Budgets - keep tabs on projected expenses against actuals
Mark vouchers post dated - these will reflect into the books of accounts only on/after that date
For needs where reports have to consider a transaction that has not happened (say salaries for this month that get paid the next month) vouchers (called 'reversing journals') can be marked to 'disappear' for reports post a specific date
"Scenario" management - helps you with your business forecasting and planning. You can use optional, reversing journals and memorandum vouchers, to aid in recording provisional entries that are useful for interim reports
Multiple inventory valuation. You can decide one valuation method for the business, and be able generate financial reports using any other valuation method - as the statutory method may not be appropriate for your needs, your bankers and for other decisions
Cash balances can go negative - you can get warned if this is about to happen, or see reports and make the necessary corrections
Several business exceptions are available (negative stocks, negative ledgers) - for you to exercise control over these activities
A one-screen business ratios with drill down right up to the transactions - help you to correct course frequently
Item wise & document wise profitability statements to control revenue leakage and inappropriate pricing
Internal audits are supported with audit controls - authorised users can mark vouchers as 'audited' and can get to see reports on changes made post audit, and the name of the person making the change
If you deal in goods, of any type, you'll appreciate the Inventory capabilities in Tally.ERP 9.
You can comprehensively record all types of inventory transactions, using goods receipt notes, delivery notes, stock journals, manufacturing journals and physical stock journals. All stock movements are fully recorded and maintained in stock registers
Developed for all manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers or traders a small list of features are briefly described below:
Manufacturers:
Bill of materials and Manufacturing Journals, to record material conversions
Compound bill of materials support, for units that contain assemblies
Multiple locations (godowns)
Excise for manufacturers, including all documentation and invoice
Costing for jobs
Distributors and Wholesalers:
Multiple price lists, with effective dates of applicability
Use multiple units of measure (say KG's & grams)
Dual units of measure (say KG's and bags, to support variations as happens in commodities)
Traders:
High speed billing, with support for POS printers
Bar code support
Service billing & service tax
Integrated sales return in bills
Print bills (and any other document) in the customers language
Common:
You can choose to de-link the computed inventory value to automatically appear in your financial statements - and enter this figure manually.
Stock ageing reports, to identify slow and non-moving stocksInvoice profitability reports to keep a pulse on sales
Multi-currency transactions - buy and sell across the world - with integrated forex gain/loss calculations
Physical stock take records to adjust physical vs. actual stocks
Maintain batch & expiry details
Tally.ERP 9 delivers the entire purchase cycle whether the need is the complete purchase order - goods receipt - rejections & returns - advances, debits & payments or a single payment entry, fulfilling all needs.
To ensure that you have the right stocks and minimize carrying costs, Tally.ERP 9 delivers the following to improve purchase orders:
Define Re-order levels as a definite number or based on consumption
Define minimum quantity to order as a definite number or based on consumption
Pull up a report that shows the stock position, including complete details of open purchase orders, sales orders that need to be fulfilled - check on past purchase history, and then place orders
Optionally stagger delivery dates in the PO
When receiving Goods:
Make entries in accordance with supporting documentation, including errors your suppliers could have made (say of multiplication & round off)
Incorporate additional costs
Automatically manage input taxes
Flexibility allows receipt of goods, quantities and rates different from that ordered - since this is common in real life
Record samples & free items (using different 'actual' & 'billed' quantities)
Multiple receipts for one order or one receipt for multiple orders, or against verbal orders
In case there is a need to add other costs (say coolie and cartage) these additional charges can be apportioned to the cost of goods purchased.
Supplied goods may not match your needs and these are managed by the 'Rejections Out' inventory voucher. Supplier dues, input taxes and inventory positions are updated.
Suppliers often indicate likely profits, which may not be met. In case such assurances are made, you can look at Item profitability reports, and get the facts right. You could then negotiate a rebate and record this as a debit note.
Keep tabs of how much is due to whom, when. Manage advances, payables & post dated checks. Ensure there are no errors in payments - print checks from Tally.ERP 9.
The lifeline of a business, efficiencies in sales operations, both of goods & services, directly impact growth and profitability. The need to optimise and keep a close watch here requires exceptional capabilities from your business IT system - and Tally.ERP 9 meets these demands.
The sales process is supported with the following documents:
Quotations - records of quotes
Sales orders - accepted customer orders
Deliver Notes - documents that accompany goods
Sales Invoices/Cash Bill - to record the sale
Credit Notes - for financial adjustments
Rejections in - for goods returns
Receipts - for advances and receipts
Do you have cash sales (sales across the counter)? With support for Point of Sale printers, bar codes and receipts in multiple tenders, you POS enable your business at no additional cost. Product sales may come with added services - and the integrated product & service billing will close this.
Enforce credit limits, where needed. Along with the Payment Performance of Debtors report you can identify persistent problems and take necessary business decisions. Interest for delays & reminder letters aid in collection.
For businesses engaged in Excisable goods, you get full support for Excise for Traders & Manufacturing Excise - matter of fact a business could be both!
Make multiple deliveries from one order, or one from multiple orders – this common need is available across all documents of the sales process.
Do you have multiple classes of customers? You can easily setup multiple prices (even in advance and specify the date from which they are effective).
Discounts against the line, or for the document, additional charges as a percentage or lump sum, automatic round off of bill totals, automatic computation of VAT & Service tax, returns & exchanges are all available.
Need to verify that you are making the desired sales margins? Item wise and bill wise profitability reports will help you keep tabs.
What is Series B ?
This Series will deliver major enhancements both in entirely new areas of functionality as well as in technology capabilities.
Technology & Capability Enhancements
Multi-session
Support for multiple application windows, which can even be launched by clicking on a mail link or a 'shortcut., Each of these are simultaneous 'windows' into different areas of your business processes & reports. Dynamic data refresh and the display of different views when resizing - for e.g. smaller windows displaying a more consolidated view of data, will improve organizational management and productivity.
Multi-threaded
A 'thread' is a specific task that is being performed by the microprocessor. Enhanced capabilities will be enabled such that each application window can perform more tasks simultaneously instead of linearly, including processing messages from the server. Multi-core processors, even on the desktop, are now common. We will take full advantage of these as well.
Multi Stack Architecture for Scale-up & Scale-down Deployments
To deliver the capabilities described above, and the ones that follow, Tally.ERP 9 will become 'componentised' – consisting of several layers of programs - often refer#002E5B to as 'n-tier architecture'.
These software components are horizontally scalable, meaning that you can add one more computer to increase the computing power needed for a layer. In the same way, you can remove systems as needed, or collapse them into a single system - all of them even on a notebook, if requi#002E5B.
High Transaction Capacity with Low Latency & Management
Let us say that you start generating a report that needs to be extracted from a few thousand vouchers. This process is run in a 'session', which is isolated from all other users. Even if other users delete or modify any of the vouchers needed for the report while the report is being compiled, there is no impact on this session and you will get to see the report as if these other users did not exist.
In the same way, the user performing the edit will also be isolated. After the edit, he can open the voucher and see it with the changes he made, perhaps even delete it.
The architecture described above will in itself deliver substantial performance and transaction handling capacity. To push performance further in those cases when the storage media (typically the hard disk) is busy with other operations, additional capabilities will store these transactions 'temporarily' in a 'Q' for later write, while the user is free to continue his work (these transactions are protected against power failures and so on).
Payment Engine for Debit & C#002E5Bit Cards
The facility for online payments using a variety of payment mechanisms (NEFT, online banking, c#002E5Bit cards), as well as receive payments (Debit / C#002E5Bit Cards, NEFT etc) will be available.
Functional Enhancements
Online Banking and Reconciliation
Collaborating with Banks who wish to facilitate their customers with this capability, we will provide Online Banking - including Payment Instructions, Standing Instructions, DD, NEFT,RTGS Transfers, Balance Queries, Instruction Status, Automated or Semi-Automated Bank Reconciliation.
Point-of-Sale for most Retail Environments
Series B will support dedicated POS terminals, with C#002E5Bit/Debit Card, Discount Coupons and various other payment mixes, Loyalty support, schemes, multi-laye#002E5B supervisory control, simultaneous keyboard and scanner controls, integrated or isolated printing of bill and c#002E5Bit card authorisation slips, item substitution, rate markup/markdowns, integration with measuring devices - such as weighing scales, bill suspension and retrieval, bill reversals and cancellations, etc. It can also be used for other store operations (receipting, inventory management etc), and general business operations (finance and accounts) - both on the same machine or separate machines.
Income Tax
Comprehensive IT coverage encompassing corporate & individual income tax, including typical payroll requirements and e-Returns will be available.
EXIM Documentation
Import & export documentation has become a growing need with the world economy becoming more open. This requirement will be supported, additionally covering the processes that need to be managed along with the documentation.
Job Costing
The enhanced Job Costing functionality will support most job costing needs to a level of granularity that is increasingly needed. We expect that you will be able to handle most, if not all, project accounting needs as well.
Fixed Assets
To take advantage of tax breaks as well as to manage organizational assets, this feature will support all requirements - from opening assets, adding, removing, amalgamating, grouping, vendor tagging, AMC's, servicing, service calendars, repairs and upkeep, refurbishing, breaking-down, depreciating and disposal for complete fixed asset management.
What is Series C ?
This release scheduled for the second half of 2011, will have deeper capabilities and functionality to help improve your retained income.
Technology & Capability Enhancements
Unlimited Volume Handling
The architecture will now support multiple database file servers – with users reading and writing to any of these automatically. In the event of a server failure, users connected to this server will start working on the other server(s), ensuring that your IT systems continue to work uninterrupted. The failed server can be set right and reconnected – live – while the system is running, data will be updated and users will connect again to take advantage of the new server power available.
High Availability & Continuity System
Series C will support several technical capabilities to boost availability and business continuity. Take live backups. Without the need to shut down operations, or slow them down, you can perform backups. In the case of a disaster, and your needing to restore from these backups, the process will be as simple as pointing to the backup – and you are up and ready. Business continuity and time-to-recover could be less than an hour!
Tally.ERP 9 will extend the label of 'availability' to product availability as well - ensuring that connected systems in a deployment are automatically brought up to the right version and configuration, without requiring the intervention of the IT department.
High Extendibility & Integrate-ability
Tally.ERP 9, from Series C onwards, is more extendable with TDL.
Integration of Process Engines to the Data Exchange Servers will allow Tally.ERP 9 to be an 'integrated' client or server to any other application - either through direct seamless interaction or through EAI buses.
Collaborative Commerce Engine using Tally.NET
Series C includes the ability to 'find' new suppliers and buyers who meet your criteria - virtually 'extending' your business reach. You can be 'discovered' by others, and you can 'discover' others and start commerce with them. Of course, your existing suppliers and buyers interaction will be simplified and made more paperless and more transparent (no more 'we will fax you the dispatch details'… if it is dispatched, you will know - if it is not, you will know!).
Rule Based Access/Process/Workflow Configurations
The Workflow capabilities in Series C will enable real, usable & practical use of helping your organization to work - with dashboards, document links that can be mailed, 'on behalf of' activities, exception reporting and a security system that is as broad or granular as needed – and configurable on-the-fly, as you use the product.
This implies that this process will also follow our legendary 'incrementally implement' philosophy - keeping the entire process so light-weight that you will not require an army of business process re-engineering consultants to force-fit the way you work into a rigid workflow system.
Functional Enhancements
Publish-to-sell combining Payment Engine and Tally.NET
Collaborative commerce gets a further boost with publish-to-sell capabilities – making your products available to the entire Tally customer ecosystem.
'Mark' specific inventory as 'publish for online sales'. Integrated with our payment engine, interested people could make a purchase, without the need for you to integrate a shopping cart and e-commerce engines - we'll even handle the finance flow as well as the PO into your system!.
Field Force Automation
Fully mature connectivity, remote users, the workflow and Tally.NET capabilities, as well as more pervasive mobile computing by the time of Series C, will put the power of Tally.ERP 9 in the hands of your mobile workforce - sales, engineering and support.
Complex BoM and Materials Requirement Calculations
While the Bill of Material capabilities available for many years will continue to be extended, broad based and powered, this Release will provide support for BoM's with tens of thousands of components, alternates, re-order & MOQ, multi-location warehouses, lead times, open PO's, material in QA and in transit to support the most complex material calculations that you will need.
Coupled with the connected world of suppliers, their stock numbers, lead times and prices, we expect that BoM management, cost computation and projected timelines will ease the burden of your stocking problems and warehouse costs.
The following are a few case studies where customers have experienced the benefits that Tally brings to their business
Tally Customizations
Why extensions? Why are these not part of the product?
Adding a feature to the core product is not a simple decision. Unless a feature is adequately broad based and appeals to a larger audience, we do not typically build it into the product. However these do meet specific needs and this is our endeavour to make the more commonly needed extensions available.
What is needed for an extension to work?
The process to install these TDL (Tally Definition Language) extensions is best done via the Control Centre. A detailed demo is available here (14.8 MB). Each extension comes with a detailed user manual as well.
Do these extensions work with Tally 6.3/7.2/8.1/9?
Limited Email support is available. Write to us with the details, Tally.ERP 9 serial number and the extension name to support.tallydeveloper@brilliantsolutions.com. Please do not contact our toll-free or customer support for this.
What support can I get for these extensions?
No. These are for Tally.ERP 9 only. Tally 8.1/9 users are eligible to move for free to Tally.ERP 9 (limited time offer), and Tally 6.3/7.2 can upgrade at a low price (write to us at sales@brilliantsolutions.com or send TALLY by SMS to 56677).
What about my data? How will it be impacted? What if I want to uninstall?
The great thing about the Tally.ERP 9 architecture and TDL extensions is that your data remains uneffected when you add these extensions or decide to stop using them. No data or database migration is needed to be done.
I use synchronisation. Do I need to install these extensions at all locations?
No. Use these at the locations you need to. The power of our architecture, database design and synchronisation ensure that you will not face issues in synchronisations.
I need changes and some more features added. How do I get this done?
