OF TALLY
NEW FEATURES TALLY 6.3 OVER OLDER VERSION TALLY 5.1
NEW FEATURES OF 6.3
RELEASE 1
The Extended Enterprise SystemThe 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
Reorder Levels
Aged Stock Analysis
Scenario Management
TallyODBCE-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.More:Specifying Reorder
LevelsObtain Reorder Status and Quantities to orderAlter Reorder Levels and
minimum quantities
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 VouchersMemorandum VouchersReversing Journals
TALLY ODBC
Tally uses ODBC to connect to other programs and exchange data dynamically.
Outward Connectivity Inward Connectivity Outward Connectivity Pick up data
from Tally directly into other programs like Microsoft Excel or Word without any
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 Tally Experts 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.
NEW FEATURES OF 6.3RELEASE 1

GATEWAY OF TALLY
The Gateway of Tally displays as Masters, Transactions and Reports. This is

to improve internal control. You can mark the default voucher types as "optional
by default". All entries made using the voucher type will automatically display the

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
TALLY MODULAR
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

PROXY SERVER CONFIGURATION
A new configuration option has been added in the F12: Configure menu. From this

must be provided in this option. Tally no longer depends on Internet Explorer for
proxy settings.
REJECTION IN AND REJECTION OUT
In Stock Vouchers sub-screen of Stock Item/Group monthly summary reports,
Rejection Out would be shown as Negative (-) quantity in Inward Column, and
Rejection In as Negative (-) quantity in the Outward Column. In the event of
Rejection In (Material Inward but considered as (-) Outward), the Rate at which
the Item has been returned, will not affect the value of Closing Stock and the value
of material would be debited to respective sales account only. In case of Rejection
Out (Material Outward but considered as (-) Inward), the Rate at which the Item is
returned will change the rate of Item for the balance Closing
Stock.SynchronizationModification in Op. Balance of a Debtor or partial
adjustment of the same against multiple receipts were not getting synchronized to
the server data. The same has been corrected in this release. In case of change in
the Op. Balance (In case of carrying forward the balances to next year) the user
