Export to Excel – Export to Excel is a new feature that has been incorporated in this release of Tally.ERP 9. This feature enables you to export any report generated by Tally.ERP 9 into Excel. Consequently the user can generate graphical representations of his data for better visual presentation.

Tally has always been one of the most secure business applications as far as data is concerned. In most systems, a person who knows the database password (typically an IT administrator, not a business owner) can play havoc with the system. Tally’s data can be seen only through the application and therefore the application security also controls data security. If you decide to TallyVault your data, because of the sophisticated encryption algorithms, the data can be absolutely guaranteed to be non-recoverable without a valid username and password.

All this is possible while keeping the data portable (one of the unique strengths of Tally which contributes to its phenomenal supportability).

*In Tally.ERP 9, you can ensure that a particular company will be open-able only by specified serial numbers. You may want to have the luxury of your CA, consultant or partner look at the data but you want to prevent this being opened by any one else (say some one who can gain a competitive advantage)

You can even specify that a company is not openable in educational mode.

Now for something that will bring joy to developers and customers alike:

*You can specify the sets of TDLs that MUST run on a specified serial number. You can then no longer bypass the external TDL imposed controls etc., merely by disabling TDLs in the Tally.ini file.

Even security (examples: ledger level security for giving visibility to customers and suppliers, or voucher level security, which is currently not available in Tally) can be implemented and enforced through very simple TDLs.

Data Security in remote operations

The request-response system used by Tally.ERP 9 is extremely secure. Since both the receiver and the sender of information act as clients and not server, it is virtually impossible to hack. (Only servers can be hacked)

The data resides on the customer’s machine only and not on the viewer’s.

Access control is completely in the hands of the customer. The customer can even decide not to connect a company for remote access even though it has remote users.

Other new Features
Central Excise

Tally already has features of excise for traders. Excise for manufacturers has been one of the most eagerly-awaited features in Tally.ERP 9. It is there now in a comprehensive and simple fashion.
Tally.ERP 9 handles, for instance:
• Multiple types of excise duties (Basic, Special, Education cess etc.)
• Multiple ECC numbers for a single company (A company can have multiple registered excise godowns and can also trade in excisable goods)
• Multiple valuation methods (like Ad valorem, Ad valorem/transaction value, value based on MRP, Ad quantum etc.)- all of these, if required, in the same invoice!
• Flexibility to have different unit of measures for excise reporting and recording transactions.
• Availment of CENVAT credit
• Payments to central Excise
• Keeping statutory records and reporting and returns.
• Sequential numbering for excise invoices even across different voucher types – for example across invoices and debit notes – (as per excise rule 11)

TDS
The TDS facilities in Tally.ERP 9 cover the entire gamut of TDS related processes from creation of a TDS liability to discharge and creating the e-file for the same.
The TDS feature has been completely re-written in Tally.ERP 9. The new features that have been introduced include:
• Capability to deduct TDS and also record the liability (due to purchase or availment of services) in a single voucher.
• You may also choose to create the TDS liability on a periodic basis.
• Now, separate ledgers need not be created for TDS and non TDS related payments. The same ledger can be used for both.
• Additional features like NRI payments (under Sec 195) are facilitated.

Payroll Statutory Reports,all PF, ESI and Professional Tax forms and reports

NewLook and Feel
Tally.ERP 9 now has nearly 30% more screen real estate to display information. This is done through a ‘hide-on-demand’ info panel (bottom panel).
This extremely informative info panel tells the user not only the version but also the latest version that is available from Tally; TDLs that are running, edition particulars (Auditors’, Gold or Silver) and some configuration details (which port the server is listening to, etc.).
Clicking on the logo takes you to the Tally website. Clicking on the latest version takes you to the ‘downloads page’, etc.
Most of the keys that can be used in a given situation are available upfront as buttons also. Example: during display of daybook, Alt-D, Alt-A, Alt-2 etc. are available as buttons.
Now the customer can see up to four instances of Tally (4 companies) for comparison on a single screen by resizing windows.
In most reports, you can select multiple lines (by pressing space bar or clicking on the line) and do some operations – example: multiple line removal (with Alt + R), multiple voucher delete (with Alt+D) from daybook.
Conclusion
For either a new potential customer or an existing customer on an earlier version, it is clear from the above that Tally.ERP 9 is a ‘Must have’ product.

Tally 9 Shoper

Shoper POS - the perfect way to run your retail business

Would you like to give your retail business the technological edge, with a solution that far exceeds your expectations? If yes, then you can take advantage of Shoper POS - a feature rich, robust and secure solution designed to deliver more when it comes to managing operations in retail outlets, or wholesale and distribution businesses.
Shoper POS is a comprehensive state-of-the-art solution that caters to every aspect of your retail business - from billing, inventory management, merchandising, pricing and barcode generation and printing, to stock transfer, taxation and customer relationship management. What’s more, Shoper POS works in conjunction with Tally business accounting software, to give you a complete business solution, easily, efficiently and cost-effectively.
If you are looking for flexibility and hassle-free control; if you need efficient transaction processing, with in-depth features and options; if you want to enjoy improved productivity, transparency and bottom line results, then Shoper POS is exactly what you need.

The Shoper suite of retail solutions includes Shoper POS and Shoper HO.

Shoper 9 HO

When you have more than one store (whether it is your own store or of a franchisee) and one or more warehouses, managing your enterprise centrally may be required. Shoper 9 HO fulfills these requirements.

What can you manage centrally? Since reporting and control are best managed when the same SKU (stock keeping unit/item code) and categories are used uniformly, you can define these at the HO and have them flow to the POS locations. Other masters are also supported, including price lists, promotions, discounts, customer & supplier lists and taxes

Keeping in mind that connectivity can never be 100%, the data architecture is de-centralized. This means that each store has its own local database, and these databases are replicated at the HO. One additional advantage this design brings is that you have two copies of the database – this will come in use in case of a disaster and no backups are available at the stores!

Data transfer between POS & HO is via the Internet and several methods are supported depending on the local connectivity conditions – each store can employ the connectivity that suits it the best. This data synchronization can be scheduled to happen at regular intervals – even this can be controlled by the HO.

All decision support is available centrally at the HO and you get access to over a 100 reports that you can take across stores & groups of stores (grouped any way you need to).
When you need to add another store, Shoper 9 HO supports rapid deployment – you can bring up a store to full operation in about half a day. Specific store settings and configurations can be copied into a template and deployed at the new store. All master information can be automatically pulled in from the HO.
HO supports centralized management of indents from the store, generation of consolidated Purchase Orders and integration with warehouses for dispatches.

Shoper 9 POS/Distributor

Shoper 9 POS is a versatile Point of Sale (POS) application to manage all your operations in a retail store or distributor location. The application comes in two flavors – Retail or Distributor and can be installed as required.

While the Retail application is used in a store/showroom selling products/services to customers on cash & carry basis, the Distributor application is used by warehouses/stockiest to sell and dispatch goods to retailers on wholesale basis either for cash or on credit. Both have common features and differ only in the target customers they service.

Retail businesses may include a single store or a chain of stores selling different items. In such scenarios, it is possible to use Shoper 9 POS. The application supports major operations of Purchase, Stock, Sales and Bar coding. Master data for items to be transacted, can be entered or imported from other sources. Similarly, sales promotional schemes and discounts can be created.

In a large retail network of stores, the individual POS applications at the stores are controlled by the Shoper 9 HO application.

The main strength of the Shoper 9 POS application is its user friendly billing system. This function ensures that the waiting time at the counters is reduced and customers are serviced quickly. The POS application reduces the amount of data entry work by the use of text files that can be imported into it.

The application’s extensive reporting system is useful to the store manager and the retail HO management. The application enables a comprehensive interface with Tally.ERP 9 to post inventory information for the purpose of generating accounting, inventory and statutory reports.

Tally.ERP 9 - Rental

Tally.ERP 9 is now available in a rental model. Simply put, you can now pay per quarter or even per month of use.

Why do I need Tally.ERP 9 on rent? There are few scenarios when you may need Tally on rental basis. According to Tally site you may need Tally on rental basis if you have capital expense constrain. In other words you can not invest Rs. 40,000/- in a single go and still you can pay some amount on monthly basis as you have some monthly budget in you hand. Just pay 1350/- per month and use Multi user license. If you have to use it for certain project which is just for 6 months or for say one year and after that you have to wind up the operations then this option is superb. Just use it for as long as you want and then forget. A company having a remote project site can install it for some time as long as the project is going on and then take the data and merge it in its main accounting and forget the license. If you have unexpected work load or peak season load then just install additional machine and Tally license for peak season without having to buy permanent license. For get it after the season. If auditors are with you and they need tally, give them a separate license and separate license for some time let them do the work without disturbing you. Tally.ERP 9 rental is going to ease your Tally buying decision. Until now you have to test the working of Tally in educational mode where you were unable to change the date. But now you can buy tally on rental basis for just one month and test Tally on your company requirements. What you need to understand?

• You need to understand that you are paying the rent for use of license. You are not buying Tally on easy installments.
• After the expiry of rental period if you want to buy the license then you have to buy by paying the full price. No reduction of rental price.
• You should understand that rental option is suitable for occasional or short term use. In future if the prices of Tally increases rental would also increase. You may end up paying more price for Tally.
