Release Notes for TallyPrime

Release 1
Release Notes gives a brief overview of all the new features introduced in the release and the
product improvements done.

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.

Now open the Control Centre portal directly for managing remote and browser access

related tasks.

Access to Control Centre is now provided from our Tally website to allow uninterrupted
Account and License Management activities.

The Data menu help you restore, backup or split your data any time. You can also configure
the data path for your company.
 The Exchange menu helps you set your data synchronisation requirements in a just a few
steps.

Other day-to-day tasks such as Import, Export, E-mail, and Print are all available from the Top
menu. You have the flexibility to quickly access different actions, and come back to the
current screen.

Have the same user credentials for multiple companies? Once you enable the Auto-login
feature, you will not need to log in to each company separately. Just log in once and open the
Companies in TallyPrime, as you need.

Product Information | About Page

Whether you are looking for information on the product, license, TDLs, Company data, connectivity
or your computer, – About Page is the one-stop solution. Specific details like product updates,
status of online services, and so on are available from this page, anytime you need.

Cost-Effective Printing
If your invoices specific to India generally have several items listed, in TallyPrime you can
save a lot on the paper and ink and reduce the printing cost.

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.

Analyse Your Data & Verify Vouchers and

Masters
Get insights to your data through a comprehensive set of data analysis reports. Also, verify
vouchers and masters to maintain accurate information and avoid the risk of errors and exceptions.
All reports that are required to analyse and verify your transaction data are easily accessible,
without any dependency on enabling security or creating users.

Regardless of the country that you operate your business from, the same set of Analysis &
Verification reports are applicable.
 Additionally, you can navigate easily to any of the Analysis reports by using the Analysis & Ver
Reports button and verify the data. You can also switch to other Accounting and Inventory
reports that for the basis for data analysis.

secondary address under consignee details in the supplementary details screen, the GSTIN
associated with the primary address was getting captured. This occurred when the party had

supplementary details screen, and the correct details will be printed in the invoice.

Deprecated Features
This section lists the features that are obsolete and hence removed from the product.

32-bit Application
TallyPrime is a 64-bit application that runs on Windows 7 or any later version of Windows, and
a 32-bit version is not made available. With rapid changes in technology most of the hardware

device manufacturers moved to 64-bit architecture that is more responsive when running
several programs simultaneously, and switching between them frequently. To benefit from the

real advantages of the combination of 64-bit architecture and 64-bit operating systems for the
best performance, TallyPrime is designed as a 64-bit application.

32-bit ODBC
 TallyPrime supports 64-bit ODBC applications that allows you to take advantage of the 64-bit

architecture and 64-bit operating systems for the best performance. Support for 32-bit ODBC
applications are withdrawn.

e-Sugam
e-Way Bill replaced the e-Sugam. Therefore, e-Sugam reports are deprecated. In case you

need to access the e-Sugam reports for earlier periods, use an earlier version of Tally with the
relevant backup. Alternatively, print or export a copy of those reports, and store them for

future references.

LBT
LBT was abolished in Maharashtra since 1-August-2015, and businesses are not required to
file LBT returns. Therefore, this feature is removed from the product. In case you need to

access the LBT reports for earlier periods, use an earlier version of Tally with the relevant
backup. Alternatively, print or export a copy of those reports, and store them for future

references.

Schedule VI Balance Sheet

In Accounting circles, Schedule VI Balance Sheet has been replaced by Schedule III reports.

Though many of you had been using Schedule VI report from Tally to fill the Schedule III

reports and complete MCA formalities, in many occasions these were found to be unusable.
Therefore, Schedule VI reports are removed from the current version of the product. Will bring

them back later with appropriate functionality.

Tax Audit & Stat Audit

Many of you had been using the audit reports from Tally as you were able to derive some

value from these tools. However, we found that these reports and tools available in the earlier
versions of Tally are dated. Therefore, these reports are removed from the current version of

the product. Will bring them back later with appropriate functionality.

SMS
Substituted this with the Reports on Browser feature that allows you to access much more
information across many reports.

Password strength setting for Company administrator

 Taken a call to withdraw password strength from the product as security features along with

password strength need to be solved holistically.

Status Bar
TallyPrime does not use a Status Bar to show the path to the current screen, as you can open
different screens using Alt+G or Ctrl+G.

Offline Help
We continuously update online help to ensure that more business scenarios are addressed

based on input from our customers. This helps in meeting your requirements better, and
provide an enhanced experience. Therefore, offline help is deprecated.

For quick access, you can open the site help.tallysolutions.com on your mobile. For offline
reference, you can also download any topic as a PDF when you are connected to the Internet.

However, we recommend that you access the help online to ensure use of the latest content.
