Tally Customization with Text File

- No need of Tally Developer 2.7 to compile the files- You can use plain TXT files rather than the TCP files for Tally Customization

In simple words, you can create plain TXT files (using any editor like Notepad) and customize Tally Accounting Software. It works with Tally 7.2 and Tally 9. It even works with the educational version of Tally. Other users may try it own their own.

And now here's what you need to do.

STEPS:-

1) Create a TXT file using Notepad with the following TEXT.

[#Menu: Gateway of Tally] Item: My Option : Menu : MySubMenu

[Menu: MySubMenu] Item: MyOption1 Item: MyOption2 Item: MyOption2

2) Save the file as TEST1.TXT in your Tally folder (C:\TALLY)

3) Open the file Tally.ini using Notepad which is located in the Tally folder and make the following changes:-

User TDL = YesTDL = C:\TALLY\TEST1.TXT

4) Save the Tally.ini file and then run the Tally Software.5) A new menu-option will appear in the "Gateway of Tally" screen at the end.

Tally & Excel:

Cash Receipt Vouchers Here's a Excel sheet that contains "Cash Receipt Vouchers"

Sales Vouchers without Items

Here's a sample Excel sheet that contains Sales Vouchers (without Items). As this is the first exercise (for Vouchers), we have purposely taken up a simple Excel sheet.

Here's what the sample Excel sheet looks like.Column A - Invoice No

Column B - Invoice DateColumn C - Party NameColumn D - Sales Ledger

Column E - NarrationColumn F - Invoice Amount

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_kTbjOz58070/SGq6lbGpHFI/AAAAAAAAACg/tod-geah6T8/s1600-h/exercise16.png

XML tags Explanation

1) First, you must write XML tags to create Masters (i.e. Party Ledgers and Sales Ledgers) . As you can see in the Excel sheet snapshot, the Column C contains Party Names whereas the Column D contains the

Sales Ledgers. The XML tags to create Ledger Masters look like this :-

<MASTER TYPE="LEDGER">...... tags......</MASTER>

Remarks:-a. Please refer the XML tags file for complete tags. You can also view it online by clicking on the link given

above.b. UDIMagic first processes the MASTER tags and then the VOUCHER tags.

2. You can get the Tally supported tags for Vouchers from Tally Software itself. All you need to do is to manually enter the sample data (only 1 voucher) as given in the Excel sheet into the Tally Software.

Next, export it in XML format using option "Gateway of Tally >> Display >> Daybook >> Alt+E". This will generate the tags in Daybook.xml file. You can open/view these tags in IE. In the Daybook.xml file, refer to the tags that appear within the <TALLYMESSAGE> tag and try relating the same with the tags as given

in the XML tags for this exercise.

Welcome to the world of VBA / Macros VBA or Visual Basic for Applications is a light weight programming language (quite similar to Visual Basic)

that allows automation of tasks in MS-Office Applications.

UDI Magic v3.0 or higher supports the use of VBA. Using VBA, you can sort data; perform calculations; insert or delete columns or rows in MS-Excel at run-time. In simple words, VBA allows you to do almost

any task that you can manually do in MS-Office Applications.

In this exercise, we shall take up "How to use VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) with UDI Magic ?"

STEP 1: Creating a macro file

To begin with, we shall write a simple macro that displays a message "Hello World". You can use Notepad (or any text-editor) to create macro files. Here's a simple macro file (Exercise-15-macro.txt)

which displays a message.

Sub HelloWorld

MsgBox "Hello World !!!"

http://learn-tally-xml-tags.blogspot.com/2008/06/exercise-15-welcome-to-world-of-vba.html

End Sub

Remarks:-Sub...End Sub is used to declare a procedure / routine.

Before we write XML tags for importing data from our Excel sheet into Tally, let's have a look at the UDI Magic supported XML tags for loading and executing macros.

XML tags for Loading / executing the Macro file

Syntax:-<VBA LOADFILE="macro-filename-with-path" RUNMACROATSTARTUP="macro-name"/>

Example 1:-<VBA LOADFILE="exercise-15-macro.txt" RUNMACROATSTARTUP="HelloWorld"/>

Example 2:-<VBA LOADFILE="c:\exercise-15-macro.txt" RUNMACROATSTARTUP="HelloWorld"/>

Explanation:-1) In the first example, we have not specified the full-path for the macro-file. Hence, UDIMagic searches for the macro-file in the UDI Magic startup folder. In the second exmple, we have specified the full-path

for the macro-file.2) The tag <VBA> is UDI Magic specific.

3) The attribute LOADFILE="macro-filename" is used to specify the macro-filename. 4) The attribute RUNMACROATSTARTUP is used to specify the macro name which is to be executed at

startup. 5) The Macro-file is executed before the Excel sheet data is processed. As a result,the macro used in this

exercise displays a message "Hello World".

STEP 2: Create an Excel Sheet and write XML tags for it

To make the task simple, we shall take up an Excel sheet with Stock Item Masters records (having only one field i.e. the NAME field).

For your reference, the XML tags given below:-

<XMLTAGS CELLREFERENCE="A1" xmlns:UDF="TallyUDF">

<VBA LOADFILE="exercise-15-macro.txt" RUNMACROATSTARTUP="HelloWorld"/>

<MASTER TYPE="STOCKITEM">

<NAME.LIST>

<NAME COLUMNREFERENCE="A"/></NAME.LIST>

</MASTER></XMLTAGS>

Import data into Multiple Companies simultaneously Here's an Excel sheet that contains Stock Item master records. The XML tags for this Excel sheet have

been written such that the data is imported into two companies simultaneously.

Follow these steps to import data into Tally1) Create a company named "Company A" in Tally.

2) Create another company named "Company B" in Tally.3) Next, Minimize Tally software.

Make sure that both the companies are open in Tally.4) Run UDI Magic software and select option "Excel to Tally".

5) Next, select option "Masters".6) Next, select the Excel sheet and the XML tags file.

You must select the XML tags file in the same screen in which you are prompted to select the Excel file.7) Follow the wizard instructions to import data into Tally.

Understanding the XML tags

The XML tags used in this exercise are quite simple. We have already written such tags (for Stock Item Master) in our previous exercises. Now, let's see how do we import data into multiple companies...

STEP 1Write XML tags to create STOCKGROUP masters

<MASTER TYPE="STOCKGROUP" COMPANYNAME="Company A"/>

<NAME.LIST>

<NAME COLUMNREFERENCE="B"/><NAME.LIST>

http://learn-tally-xml-tags.blogspot.com/2008/06/exercise-14-import-data-into-multiple.html

</MASTER>

<MASTER TYPE="STOCKGROUP" COMPANYNAME="Company B"/>

<NAME.LIST>

<NAME COLUMNREFERENCE="B"/><NAME.LIST></MASTER>

Remarks:-1) Note that COMPANYNAME attribute is used to specify in which Company the data is to be imported.

2) We used the same tags twice, only the Company Name has been changed.

STEP 2Write XML tags to create STOCKITEM masters

< MASTER TYPE="STOCKITEM" COMPANYNAME="Company A">



<PARENT COLUMNREFERENCE="B"/>

</MASTER>

< MASTER TYPE="STOCKITEM" COMPANYNAME="Company B">



<PARENT COLUMNREFERENCE="B"/>

</MASTER>

Using the COMPANYNAME attribute

To import data into a specific Company in Tally, you need to use the COMPANYNAME attribute. Generally, this is required when two or more companies are open in Tally and you wish to import data

http://learn-tally-xml-tags.blogspot.com/2008/06/exercise-13-using-companyname-attribute.html

into a specific company.

Herein, we shall take a simple Excel sheet that contains Stock Item Masters. For simplicity, we have taken only the Stock Item NAME in the Excel Sheet.

Follow these steps to import data into Tally1) Create two Companies in Tally. viz "Company A" and "Company B"

2) Select the "Company A".3) Minimize Tally software.

4) Run UDIMagic and follow instructions in the wizard to Import data from the sample Excel-sheet.You must select the XML tags file in the same screen in which you are prompted to select the Excel file.

If everything goes fine, then 5 Stock Item master records will be imported into "Company B" in Tally.You can view the same using "Gateway of Tally >> Inventory Info >> Stock Item >> Display" option.

Attribute : COMPANYNAMEApplies to: MASTER and VOUCHER tags

Example 1:-

<MASTER TYPE="LEDGER" COMPANYNAME="MyCompany">.....XML tags.....

</MASTER>

Example 2:-

<VOUCHER COMPANYNAME="MyCompany">.....XML tags.....</VOUCHER>

Remarks:-1) The COMPANYNAME attribute can be used with the MASTER and VOUCHER tags only.

2) If there two or more MASTER tags (or VOUCHER tags) in a single XML file, then you need to use the COMPANYNAME attribute with each MASTER tag.

Using the SCROLL attribute In this exercise, we shall take up an Excel sheet that contains Stock Item Master records with Standard Cost and Standard Price details. As the data for a single MASTER record may span to multiple rows, we

have used the SCROLL attribute which is described later on.

http://learn-tally-xml-tags.blogspot.com/2008/06/exercise-12-using-scroll-attribute.html

Here's a snapshot of the Excel sheet that we shall be using in this exercise. You can create a similar sheet

STEP 1Write XML tags to create UNIT masters

<MASTER TYPE="UNIT"/><NAME COLUMNREFERENCE="D"/>

<ISSIMPLEUNIT>Yes</ISSIMPLEUNIT></MASTER>

STEP 2Write XML tags to create STOCKGROUP masters

<MASTER TYPE="STOCKGROUP"/><NAME.LIST>

<NAME COLUMNREFERENCE="C"/><NAME.LIST></MASTER>

STEP 3Write XML tags to create Stock Item Masters

< MASTER TYPE="STOCKITEM">


<NAME COLUMNREFERENCE="A"/>

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_kTbjOz58070/SFSIhYU86RI/AAAAAAAAACQ/_cYc6CA3dtk/s1600-h/exercise12.png

<NAME COLUMNREFERENCE="B"/>

</NAME.LIST>

<PARENT COLUMNREFERENCE="C"/>

<BASEUNITS COLUMNREFERENCE="D"/>

<STANDARDCOSTLIST.LIST SCROLL="Yes">

<DATE COLUMNREFERENCE="E"/><RATE FORMULA="=+F# & "/" & +G#"/>

</STANDARDCOSTLIST.LIST>

<STANDARDPRICELIST.LIST SCROLL="Yes">

<DATE COLUMNREFERENCE="H"/><RATE FORMULA="=+I# & "/" & +J#"/>

</STANDARDPRICELIST.LIST>

</MASTER>

a) As you can see in the Excel sheet, the Standard Cost and Standard Price data for the first Master Record "BunnyBT1" spans to 3 rows. Also note that the Column A (key-field) contains the same Name i.e.

"BunnyBT1" as all these 3 rows are part of one MASTER record.

b) Example:-<STANDARDCOSTLIST.LIST SCROLL="Yes">

<DATE COLUMNREFERENCE="E"/><RATE FORMULA="=+F# & "/" & +G#"/>

</STANDARDCOSTLIST.LIST>

The SCROLL attribute used in the above XML tags, instructs UDI Magic that the data spans to multiple rows.

c) Use option "Alter Standard Rates" to specify the Standard Cost and Price details in the Stock Item Master as shown below:-

Exercise 11 Alternative 1

Change the Heading in Cell A1 to NAME

Alternative 2

Add the following tags in your XML tags file :-

<COLUMNNAME.LIST><COLUMNNAME>NAME</COLUMNNAME>

</COLUMNNAME.LIST>

Remarks:-1) Tally use the Master's NAME as the key-field to uniquely identify the Master records. Hence, we must

have a Column titled as NAME or specify the same using <COLUMNNAME> tag.
