7. Tally Integration

OMNI allows users to export data related to the Finance module to Tally. The purpose of this integration is to support the use of Tally as a Statutory/Taxation related reporting module for India. Tally ERP 9.2, release 5 or better is the supported version of Tally.

We recommend that for every Accounting Centre in OMNI a company be created in Tally. Users should use OMNI for performing ALL transactions related to business operations - then export the data to Tally and then use the various statutory reports built in to Tally for Audit and Taxation purposes.

Tally Integration is performed through the following steps:

1: Configure Tally

• In the Tally Installation that the import will be performed please ensure that the following are configured:
  • Vouchers must be customized and the Voucher Number must be set to Automatic with manual override. The following voucher types must be customized in Tally.
    • Journal
    • Payment
    • Receipt
  • See the attached Word Document on How to Configure the Voucher Numbers.
• Cost Category and Cost Centre must be enabled in Tally. All Jobs in OMNI are treated as Cost Centres under the Primary Category.
