Why TallyPrime is so Special ?

TallyPrime gives you a simple and consistent experience, along with ease of discoverability of features across.

As you launch TallyPrime, the new splash screen reflects the product identity while you wait for the application to open.

On the Fly Access | Go To/Switch To

  • The Go To feature in TallyPrime facilitates ease of navigation from anywhere in the product and helps you to handle any interruptions or ad-hoc activities without moving out of your current work. You can view any of your reports on the fly or create and alter masters, or even record a transaction by using Alt+G (Go To).

  • Similarly, Switch To allows ease of navigation to a different task like creating your masters, voucher or viewing the reports, especially when you have completed your current task.

Consistent & Easy Interactions

  • Buttons & Shortcuts: Right buttons, inline buttons, and keyboard shortcuts are harmonized across masters, transactions and reports for a consistent experience across the product. Hidden shortcut keys have been implemented across several areas to allow more viewing space in Reports, Vouchers and other areas. (Refer to Keyboard Shortcuts in TallyPrime).

  • Gateway of Tally: is organised into four broad groups – Masters, Vouchers, Utilities, Reports – so that you easily navigate, as needed.

  • Mouse interactions: Many more mouse actions are included in TallyPrime to allow easy interaction with your data. You can scroll up and down in reports and lists, use right-click and left-click actions, and others, as needed.

List Experience | Selection Table

  • Reports, vouchers and masters are listed under relevant groups in a tabular format. You can expand and collapse each group, choose to show or hide more or even view the inactive ones in the tables.

  • You can also search from the selection list by typing a few characters in the search bar and select the desired item from the list, including selection of drive, folder path and others.

  • On the fly creation of required details – country name, bank name, Tally.NET users, and so on – has been implemented for quick and easy selection in tables. Simply type the text that you need as an input and TallyPrime captures it aptly.

    • For example, you can now add a Tally.NET user while setting up Browser Access or create a new bank name for a party while creating a party ledger – all on the fly.

  • You have the flexibility to create/alter masters and create vouchers anytime while navigating through the tabular lists.

Enhanced Capabilities in Reports

The right button bar has been harmonised to remove clutter and provide a consistent experience across.

  • You can use the function keys F2 to F10 in a consistent way, irrespective of the report you are in.

    • For example, press F4 to view data for a specific voucher in Day Book; the same key allows you to view data for a specific stock item in Stock Summary.

  • Basis of Values provides the flexibility to change the basis on which values are computed and presented in the report.

    • For example, you can view the values in Balance Sheet based on the Stock Valuation method you select by pressing Ctrl+B (Basis of Values).

  • Change View brings in the flexibility of viewing the report details without changing the context of the data.

    • For example, if you are viewing the Balance Sheet for a specific period, press Ctrl+H (Change View) > Vertical to view the Balance Sheet in vertical representation for that period. Similarly, in statutory reports, you can change to different return views as needed. Additionally, Change View provides the breakup of views and related reports, where applicable.

  • Exception Reports allows you to view the exceptions available in the context of the current report.

    • For example, from the Day Book, you can view list of exceptions such as Optional Vouchers, Cancelled Vouchers and so on.

Ease of Data Entry | Vouchers & Masters

  • If your business norms require you to use a different voucher mode, pressing Ctrl+H (Change Mode) is the way forward! All the more, these options are contextual.

    • For example, when entering a payment voucher, press Ctrl+H (Change Mode) to use the Double Entry mode or vice versa. Similarly, you can change your invoices from Invoice mode to Accounting mode and so on.

    • Additionally, you can record a manufacturing journal transaction without the need for creating a voucher class.

  • Global keys like Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V for copy and paste of data enables you to make data entry easier, without the need to use different key combinations.

  • In TallyPrime, you can quickly switch from one master or voucher to the other by pressing F10. This helps is making your data entry faster.

    • All masters or vouchers are available from a single button. F11 features are enabled and voucher types are activated on the fly where needed.

  • In case you have missed to capture certain details in the masters or vouchers, just press Ctrl+I (More Details) to capture those details for that particular instance. You need not configure it for regular use or worry about where to configure.

    • For example, if you missed to include the description for the second item when recording a voucher with many items, and realise this only when you are about to save the voucher, press Ctrl+I (More Details), and add the details, without navigating back to the field one by one.

  • Managing multiple masters in one go is seamless in TallyPrime. The Chart of Accounts feature is a one-stop solution for managing the masters. You can:

    • Create or alter one or multiple masters

    • Display the masters

    • View exception reports for used and unused masters.

Company Creation

  • Create a Company in a few steps along with the flexibility of setting up the necessary features of Accounting, Inventory, Taxation, Payroll and others in the flow.

    • You can also create an Inventory-only company in TallyPrime to only track your inventory, and maintain records of accounts separately.

  • F11 features can be enabled on the fly where needed while creating masters and vouchers, without you having to navigating to the F11 screen every time.

Features & Preferences | F11 & F12

  • F11 features are simplified to address your expanding business needs. Refer to Company Features for more information.

  • Similarly, F12 configurations across the product are organised to meet your invoicing and reporting preferences, with:

    • Proper placement and grouping for ease of find-ability

    • Sequencing based on use

    • Layered presentation

Refer to F12 Configurations for more information.

  • F12 configurations have been re-organised to ensure the key settings for the values in reports are readily available under Basis of Values.

Application & Task Management | Top Menu

In TallyPrime, you can perform various tasks using the Top menu options, without having to follow a rigid set of steps for each task.

  • The Company menu allows you to create and alter your company details and manage users and passwords, including changing from one user to another user on the fly.

    • In the invoice, press Ctrl+P (Print) and enable the Optimise printing to save paper configuration to utilise the extra space on the paper without compromising the invoice details.

    • When you are printing your invoice in multiple pages, you can also choose to print only the required header information by enabling the option Choose details to show second page onwards. This further optimises the printing space.

Sales Voucher

  • When recording a Sales Voucher with separate buyer and consignee, on selecting the secondary address under consignee details in the supplementary details screen, the GSTIN associated with the primary address was getting captured.

  • e-Way Bill number was not captured on the printed invoice when the Sales Voucher was recorded in Voucher Mode. This issue is resolved.

Sales Invoice

When the rate is inclusive of GST or VAT, the printed invoice will show the rate including the tax amount.

  • In invoice printout, the customer details are printed under the titles Buyer and Consignee while GSTN recommends Billed to and Shipped to. Similarly, Buyer and Consignee are used in the supplementary details screen too. The titles are changed to Billed to and Shipped to.
