returned will change the rate of Item for the balance Closing Stock.

Ledger account.

Payment/Receipt > set to YES - this allows you to set off against the bills, before specifying the
amount in Payment and Receipt entries.

TallySynchronization

Synchronization refers to the process of Tally data being replicated between two or more
locations. This enables a branch office to send its data to the head office over the Internet or a
private network. Tally provides complete control over the frequency of replication. If the user is
connected on a leased line, he can choose to replicate after every transaction entry. If the user is
not connected on a leased line, he can post his updates at specific intervals. Synchronization is
both ways - i.e., all data from the client company goes to the server and all data from the server
company gets copied to the client company. After the synchronization has been set up,
replicating data between the locations is a single click activity.

To replicate, the user at the client needs to select - Gateway of Tally > Import Transactions >
Synchronization > Synchronize. Tally connects to the server, finds out the status of the last
transfer (if any) and exchanges the incremental data that was entered after the last transfer. Tally
also takes care of creating all masters required to save the transaction on the target machine.
(This will work with TallyServer and TallyClient capabilities - which is available as a Module).

TallyModular

Tally is now available in modules. Information on the modules that can be activated is available
in Functions and Features (Gateway of Tally > F12: Configure). For example, enabling
TallyServer and TallyClient capabilities for Synchronization.

Release 1

The Extended Enterprise System

The new Tally ees 6.3 comes with breakthroughs in collaborative technology that extend your
company's capability of managing information across your software applications and your
offices, with your business partners and your managers-on-the-move. All this leads to accurate
decisions for improved profits.

New Features
1. Reorder Levels

2. Aged Stock Analysis

3. Scenario Management

4. TallyODBC

5. E-capabilities

Reorder Levels

Reorder level is that quantity in hand for a stock item, reaching which, you should order your
supplies. The importance of reorder level arises from the desire to have sufficient stocks to
service customer orders and at the same time not to have unnecessarily high stocks. Therefore,
the points to be considered in deciding reorder levels are the lead time for suppliers to deliver
stock , the delivery time specified by the customer, and the stock in hand to satisfy orders in the
meantime. In simple mode, Tally accepts your specified quantities only. In advanced, Tally
considers past consumption patterns to suggest reorder levels. You can however, give your own
levels. You may also specify the minimum quantity that is to be placed for each order in either
simple or advanced mode.

The purpose of specifying reorder levels is to obtain a report that indicates the stocks that need to
be ordered. Hence, we will first specify and then obtain the report.

Aged Stock Analysis (Ageing Analysis)

A very important function of Working Capital management is monitoring stocks. Money locked
up in stocks can adversely affect the liquidity of a company and every company strives or should
strive to reduce stock levels to the optimum. Every business (except perhaps the liquor and
antiques dealers) would prefer to dispose of older stocks as they might deteriorate with time, go
out of fashion, or simply get forgotten. Tally's aged stock analysis or Stock ageing enables you to
know the age of stocks in hand according to when they were received and the purchase value.

Scenario Management

Scenario management is a management tool that enables different views of your information,
both accounts and inventory related, by selectively including certain types of vouchers without
affecting the base data. This is useful in reports with provisional figures without actually putting
the entries through the main books. It is also useful for forecasting by entering forecast figures in
provisional vouchers and including them to get forecasted figures.

The vouchers that are used in Scenario Management are:

Optional Vouchers

Memorandum Vouchers

Reversing Journals

In this section we will dwell on the way we can use these vouchers in Reports. How to enter
them have been dealt with in the Voucher Entry chapter.

You can create a number of scenarios each including and/or excluding one or more types of these
voucher entries. Hence, you may have one scenario that is used for reporting monthly figures in
which you have to report depreciation provided for the month as well as account for all accruals
and outgoings. Obviously, you do not want to put through your books journal entries for this
purely temporary reporting. Of course the entries are available for reference in separate registers.
You would decide to include Reversing Journals for Provisional monthly reporting.

Outward Connectivity

programming! Print labels for greeting cards from the ledger addresses stored in Tally! Even
create templates for the likes of Audit Reports and Schedule VI forms and plug in data from
Tally. Tally's database is now open for use in most popular programs to give you the unlimited
flexibility of creating your own reports using up-to-date data from Tally.

Inward Connectivity

On the other hand, Tally ies 7.2 is capable of being programmed by TallyExperts to use data
from other systems much more easily. This permits you to continue using other systems and use
some of their data in Tally as if they were parts of one integrated system. For example, a
customer contact management program may contain various details like status of an order and
last contact made. Bring in that data into Tally to merge into a report containing outstanding
balances. Any changes in the other data will be immediately reflected in Tally.
