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

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).
