Tally is popularly known as accounting software for small and medium businesses. It does all the
functions of accounting that a particularly mid-sized business has. This is the view of most of the
persons who know about Tally.
But Tally does much more than that. Tally is not just accounting software. After the release of
ERP version of Tally, the capability and functioning of Tally is much more widened and
extended to a great extent.
For example did you know that you maintain Employees information in Tally?
Right from his/her name to everything about duties, work, profile, groups and so on. This is
could be a great feature if a business has a number of employees working in the business.
Well, Tally is a complete Enterprise Resource Planning system with an excellent grip in
accounting features. Although it has many more core features that a business requires but its hold
in accounting is truly commendable. Therefore it is known
more for accounting rather than any other of its features.

Tally is itself a huge concept, it serves the purpose in any corporate field for its up- to – date file

1. Accounting
2. Billing
3. Sales and profit analysis
4. Banking
5. Inventory
6. Taxation (VAT, TDS, TCS)
I have brainstormed the needs of a newly opened general store which are all covered by Tally.

This was just an example of a general store and almost any business which requires software for
its functioning; Tally can be a best fit.

ADVANTAGES OF COMPUTERISED ACCOUNTING OVER MANUAL BOOK-
KEEPING
Automation: Since all the calculations are handled by the software, computerized accounting
eliminates many of the mundane and time-consuming processes associated with manual
accounting. For example, once issued, invoices are processed automatically making accounting
less time-consuming.
· Accuracy: This accounting system is designed to be accurate to the minutest detail. Once the
data is entered into the system, all the calculations, including additions and subtractions, are done
automatically by software.
· Data Access: Using accounting software it becomes much easier for different individuals to
access accounting data outside of the office, securely. This is particularly true if an online
accounting solution is being used.
· Reliability: Because the calculations are so accurate, the financial statements prepared by
computers are highly reliable.
· Scalable: When your company grows, the amount of accounting necessary not only increases
but becomes more complex. With computerized accounting, everything is kept straightforward
because sifting through data using software is easier than sifting through a bunch of papers.
· Speed: Using accounting software, the entire process of preparing accounts becomes faster.
Furthermore, statements and reports can be generated instantly at the click of a button. Managers
do not have to wait for hours, even days, to lay their hands on an important report.
10. Page | 10
· Security: The latest data can be saved and stored in offsite locations so it is safe from natural
and man-made disasters like earthquakes, fires, floods, arson and terrorist attacks. In case of a
disasters, the system can be quickly restored on other computers. This level of precaution is
taken by Clever Accounting.
Cost-effective: Since using computerized accounting is more efficient than paper-based
accounting, than naturally, work will be done faster and time will be saved. When one considers
that Clever Accounting, one of the latest online accounting solutions, starts at a low monthly
subscription (check out pricing here), then computerized accounting really becomes a no-brainer.
Visuals: Viewing your accounts using a computer allows you to take advantage of the option to
view your data in different formats. You can view data in tables and using different types of
charts.

ADVANTAGES OF TALLY (ERP 9)
Technological Advantages of Tally.ERP 9 Are as follows:
1. Tally Vault: The Security of Data is always a matter of concern for businesses since most
organizations depend on the confidentiality of information. The Tally Vault feature is an
enhanced security system which allows for encryption of the company data. Tally Vault
ensures that the original information is under no circumstances made available to another
user. This technique is similar to encryption-decryption, and the decrypted form of data
is never stored in the system. Apart from this, it uses the non-stored password
mechanism. This is done by using highly advanced mechanisms to validate a new user
who does not have a prior knowledge of the original password. The combination of all
these facilities makes, Tally Vault one of the most secure means of information storage.
2. Security control : Security Control is required in an environment where many people
work on accounts using the same computer at different times or the same set of accounts
on a network. Tally.ERP 9 has a variety of management reports that are flexible in nature
allowing you to create, alter, display and print any information. The Security Control
system of Tally.ERP 9 is used to set the authority rights of the user or user groups. This
prevents other users from using the system to create, alter, display and print any data.
Tally.ERP 9 has a customized security system where the authority levels are set for users
at different levels. Tally.ERP 9 has two security types, one for the Owner by default and
the other for Data Entry. Other security types can be created based on these predefined
types. The Owner has full access and rights to Tally.ERP 9, except for Tally Audit,
which is reserved for the administrator alone. Data Entry has restricted rights. Security
control can be activated during company creation or by company alteration. Once this is
activated, Tally.ERP 9 asks you to enter the name of the user and the password.
3. Tally Audit : Tally.ERP 9 Audit allows the Administrator/ Auditor to track changes in the
accounts made subsequent to the earlier review. Changes in two areas are important i.e in
the transactions or vouchers and in the ledger masters. Only changes that affect the
integrity of a transaction are considered. Tally.ERP 9 Audit feature is enabled while
creating a Company. This option is activated only when the user-levels are defined. In
this case, it was already enabled when the Security Control feature was activated and
given a user name and password.
4. Backup and Restore: Tally.ERP 9 has a flexible backup mechanism where in you can
virtually take a backup of the data from one storage medium to another. The more
commonly used mechanisms are floppy drive, hard disk drive, zip drive, tape drive etc.
installed either locally or on a network. In the backup screen, the source and destination
of the backup is entered. Tally.ERP 9 will do as required. Restore literally means ‘to
bring back’. Tally.ERP 9 allows the restoration of data from one medium to another. In
Tally.ERP 9’s context, restore means we have a Tally.ERP 9 backup and we want to
16. Page | 16
work on the data backup instead of the current data. This can be done from the Company
Info screen by selecting the Restore field.
5. Split Company Data : Tally.ERP 9's flexible period-less accounting permits entry of data
for any number of years. This in itself has tremendous benefits. However, presence of old
data in cases where they are voluminous causes greater overhead on the system. Splitting
financial years enables you to retain most benefits while overcoming this overhead. On
splitting the data, two things happen:
New companies are created for the respective split periods.
The full data is retained in the original company.
6. Export and Import of Data: Tally.ERP 9’s export and import capabilities enable
Tally.ERP 9 to interact globally. Statements and data from Tally.ERP 9 can be exported
to other programs like spreadsheets and databases. Only data from Tally.ERP 9 can be
imported and not data from other systems. Importing from other systems involves the
usage of ‘Tally.ERP 9’s Definition Language’ TDL and this is outside the scope of this
training.
7. ODBC Connectivity: ODBC is expanded as Open database Connectivity and is used to
merge the imported data with the existing data. In short, Tally.ERP 9 uses ODBC to
exchange data. Tally.ERP 9 ODBC extracts data from Tally.ERP 9 and submits the
reports in MS Excel format.
8. Web Enabled, Print Preview and Online Help: Tally.ERP 9 is web enabled, has a Print
Preview facility and online help.
Web Enabled - Email and Internet Publishing are the Web enabled features available in
Tally.ERP 9. This facility of Tally.ERP 9 reduces the paper work. Reports, Reminder
letters, Statement of Accounts, Invoices and Purchase Orders can be e-mailed directly
from Tally.ERP 9. Thus, the user does not have to send printed invoice or purchase
orders. This feature helps you to save on postage and valuable time.
Internet Publishing - Tally.ERP 9 makes commercial use of your web space by uploading
reports and documents on the website. For this purpose, it creates reports in the web-
language HTML, that is directly put on the website. You can use this feature to inform
customers of the latest business offers. The data used for transmission is encrypted.
Upload-Any report, statement or data can be published on the internet. Publishing is
carried out by uploading the report to an Internet Server that has been configured to
accept files in specific protocols. A Site is basically a specific directory space allotted on
that server. Protocols are sets of rules and specifications on how data and files are
transferred over a network. It covers all aspects of communication between computers
including the content, its formatting and error control.
Print Preview- Tally.ERP 9, provides you with the facility to check report formats and
layouts, before the actual printing takes place. The same can also be e-mailed.
Online Help - This is a Local help system, which displays the help screen relevant to the
topic, by just clicking on the help button provided in Tally.ERP 9.
17. Page | 17
9. Local / Online Help: This is a Local help system, which displays the help screen relevant
to the topic, by just clicking on the help button provided in Tally.ERP 9.
10. Printing of Report and Cheques: There are different issues involved in printing a
desired report quickly and easily. There are two types of printing:
Display and Print.
Multi-Account Printing menu.
Both will yield the same output. The display and print method is more flexible
where you can see on screen the details required. However, the Multi-Account

ACCOUNTING INFORMATION
PRE-DEFINED LEDGERS IN TALLY
There are two pre-define ledgers in Tally:
1. Cash: This Ledger is created under the Group Cash-in-hand. You can enter the opening balance
as on the date of books beginning from. You can also alter the name and even delete the Ledger.
It helps you to maintain Daily Cash Expenses.
2. Profit & Loss Account: This Ledger is created under the Group Primary. Previous year’s Profit
or Loss is entered as the opening balance for this ledger. The balance entered here is treated as
the opening profit/loss and shown in the Balance Sheet as opening balance of Profit and Loss
account in the Liabilities side. You cannot delete this ledger, but you can modify the same.
CREATION OF LEDGERS
There are total 2 major ways to create a ledger in Tally. One way is to create a Single
Ledger and another way is to create it with Multiple Ledgers. When 1 or 2 ledgers need to be
created, Single Ledger option can be used. On the other hand, when more ledgers need to be
created, say 100 or more, then Multiple Ledgers can be used.
SINGLE LEDGER METHOD
From Gateway of Tally, go to Accounts Info.
Then go to Ledgers.
Now, under Single Ledger, select the option Create.
19. Page | 19
Now you will see a simple Ledger Creation window in which you will have to enter certain
details about the ledger.
It looks like in the picture below.
Name – The first option is the Name of the ledger. Enter the name of the ledger, for
example, Furniture A/c or Building A/c.
Under – Every ledger requires a group to operate in. For example, Furniture A/c and Building
A/c will be under Fixed Assets group as they are both Fixed Assets. You have to select a group
that is required as per your ledger.
Inventory values are affected – If you have a ledger which requires inventory or in simple
words, stock to be maintained, set this option to Yes. For example, you are selling sim cards,
your ledger will be Sim Cards. There must be a quantity to sell i.e. stock or inventory and so you
must set yes to Inventory Values are affected.
Mailing Details – You have to fill in the mailing details like Name, Address, Country and Bank
Details for the ledger. It is for the ledgers such as debtors and creditors which require these kind
of details. Ledgers such as Furniture or Building do not require these details because they are not
humans and therefore they do not have any mailing details.
Tax Registration Details – Similar to mailing details, these details are also of people and not for
ledgers like furniture, building etc. Tax registration details include PAN which is required on any
tax related documents.
20. Page | 20
Opening Balance – This is the opening balance of the ledger if any. Any balance of the ledger
which is being carried forward from the previous year will have to be entered as the opening
balance. This was the last step which was required to create a ledger under Single Ledger
Method.
MULTIPLE LEDGER METHOD
Like single ledger, it is extremely easy to create multiple ledgers in
Tally.
The process is almost same as single ledger method. Only one step
is different. Major advantage of this method is that you can create
many ledgers in a very short amount of time. From the above
method, when you go to Ledgers, you will have the option
of Multiple Ledgers.
Under that, you have to select Create.
Now, you will see a Multi Ledger Creation screen like in the image below.
There are not many options as there were in Single Ledger Method.
Under Group – This option is similar to the Under option in Single Ledger Method. But under
this method, it works a bit differently. If you select the group on the top as shown in the picture
above, then you will not have to select the group every time you create a ledger. This works well
if you want to create ledgers under only one group.
Creating Ledgers under only One Group
21. Page | 21
For example, you want to create ledgers under Fixed Assets such as Furniture and Building, it
will be shown as in the picture below.
As it can be seen, Fixed Assets is selected as the group for the option Under Group. Therefore
when the ledger name is entered, Tally will automatically select the group as Fixed Assets and
only the amount for the opening balance needs to be entered. If there is no opening balance, it
can be left blank.
On the other hand, if you want to create ledgers but they are under different groups, you can do
that also.
Creating Ledgers under Different Groups
If you want to create ledgers in Tally but they are under different groups, you can do it easily.
For the option – Under Group, you have to select All Items. You can see in the picture above that
along with the previous two ledgers of Furniture and Building, two more ledgers named Salary
and Investments have been created.
Salary is an expense and therefore it is grouped under Direct Expenses. A particular thing to note
here is that there is no opening balance for the ledger of Salary and so it is left blank. Another
ledger called Investment is being created which is under the group called Investment because it
is an Investment. It also has an opening balance.
There were two different ways of creating ledgers under Multiple Ledger Method. After all the
ledgers being entered, you can just press Enter twice and all your ledgers will be created
instantly in Tally. A simple shortcut ALR can also be used for creating multiple ledgers in Tally.

Accounting Vouchers: There are 10 accounting vouchers already created in Tally software.
We can create, delete or modify other vouchers as per our requirement.
Inventory Vouchers: There are by default 8 inventory vouchers are automatically created
in Tally software
Accounting vouchers in tally are used to record the financial transactions. Examples of these
vouchers includes contra, payment, receipt, journal, sales, purchase etc.
While inventory vouchers in tally is used to maintain the record related to inventory. Examples
of such vouchers are purchase order, sale order, rejection in, rejection out, receipt note, physical
stock etc
Accounting vouchers are for sales, purchase, receipt and contra entries etc while inventory
vouchers deal with stock entries like consumption and production etc.
An accounting voucher is prepared, when any financial transaction takes place, in this General
Ledger accounts are DR and CR respectively.
An inventory voucher is prepared when any inventory item is sent out or received in the
inventory dept, this does not have any financial impact, this only keeps track of receipt and
dispatch of material from the inventory dept.
An Accounting voucher will update only accounts whereas Inventory Vouchers will update both
accounts and inventory.
The basic objectives of inventory vouchers is to record stock delivered to parties using delivery
note, generate a purchase order register using purchase orders etc whereas an accounting voucher
deals with payment , sales, receipt voucher , contra vouchers etc. So, to conclude both the
vouchers are an integral part of TALLY but both have different operations in the software.
