1. New Features
MCA Reports in XBRL Format
eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL), is a common reporting language used globally for reporting the Financial Statements in a common format. It is an electronic communication language used to exchange business reporting data for various purposes like analysis of information, financial decision making and comparisons using the computer platforms. The need for a common reporting language for financial statements which can be used all over the world has emerged due to globalisation of business operations and XBRL erases the boundaries for reporting purposes. On June 7, 2011 the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) of India, mandated the filing of annual financial statements in XBRL format for all the financial statements prepared for the financial year ending on or after March 31, 2011. The MCA Reports feature is introduced in Tally.ERP 9 to generate report for standalone or consolidated companies. The MCA Reports can be generated in four simple steps: 1. The Financial and Non-Financial Information (applicable) need to be provided for both the Current Year as well as Previous Year. If any element is having values in the Current Year, it is mandatory to enter the corresponding Previous Year value for the same element. Note: The above Rule is not applicable if the company is started in the current year. 2. All the Mandatory information fields are to be filled compulsorily without leaving them Blank. All the Mandatory information requirements are consolidated through a button "Mandatory Information" which is accessible from List of Accounts Menu under MCA Reports. 3. All the Non-Financial Information is to be filled wherever it is applicable and whichever values are applicable. Under this non-financial information also, there are some mandatory fields that requires values if corresponding value is available. This information is notified in respective screens that are given for the user inputs for additional information. 4. After completing all the above three steps, the instance documents are to be generated and then validated as per the MCA Validation Tool provided for this purpose in the website www.mca.gov.in\xbrlMCA Reports On Completion of above steps, the following reports can be generated as per MCA Taxonomy in XBRL format:
Balance Sheet to display Sources and Application of Funds (vertical format) or Total Assets and Liabilities (horizontal format) and Cash Flow Statement in Direct or Indirect Methods. Profit & Loss Account.
The Instance Document generated from Tally.ERP 9 can be validated using the MCA XBRL Validation Tool (Version 1.1.1). On successful validation and completion of pre-scrutiny, the instance documents can be uploaded to MCA website.
21
Note: The XBRL feature is available by default with Tally.ERP 9. For generating MCA reports the subscription rates are as follows:

1. New Features
Income Tax for Salaries - Simplifies IT for both Employer and Employees
Tally.ERP.9 now provides a complete solution for Personal Income Tax calculation. The new Income Tax feature handles Tax calculation on the basis of Payroll/Expense transactions and declarations made by the employees, in a very simple manner. On click of a button, the income tax computation sheet and IT Returns can be generated as per the latest Income Tax Rules. It also provides quarterly and yearly returns which are required to be filed by the Employer. In short, this feature simplifies Income tax for both Employer and Employees. The following Forms and Challan are provided with the new Income Tax Module:
Forms Form ITR1 ITNS
16, Form 16AA*, Form 12BA
24Q* (Quarterly) and Form 24* (Yearly) as hard copy and 'e' formats to file Return 281 Challan
*Will be provided in the subsequent Statutory Master releases. Apart from the above, following reports are also provided:
Employee Employee Challan Income
wise - Computation Report wise - Salary Projection Report
Reconciliation report
Tax related Exception Reports
Following are the other changes made to the payroll module, to handle the Income Tax successfully: 1. A new Pay Process has been introduced to automate the Payroll processing for User Defined Pay Heads, before processing the complete Salary. This will speed up the salary processing for large number of employees. 2. Payment Auto Fill has been enhanced to make the IT payment and generate ITNS Challan. 3. Payroll Computation report has been enhanced to incorporate the overall computation for Income Tax.
Job Work In and Out

Processes never break any system, it is the exception which does. Job Work In and Out feature is consciously designed to support business exception handling, each business house or each transaction of business house follow different processes based on the requirement. A major concern for both, the businesses which outsources Job Work or receives Job Work, is to track material movement. What is the material that needs to be issued to the Job Worker? How much Quantity needs to be issued? How much material needs to be processed and sent back to the client? What is the cost of handling a Job and how much profit will a job worker get? Which Job
67
Worker is more cost effective? Will in-house production help to reduce costs or Job Work is a better option? To answer all the above questions, Tally.ERP 9 now provides a new Job Work Module. Tally.ERP 9 is introducing the following new features with Job Work: 1. Four new Voucher Types to handle Job Work Material Movement a. Job Work out Order This Voucher will allow a principal company to raise Job Orders on Job Worker. This voucher has a combined behaviour of Purchase Order and Sales Order as it will allow the user to raise an order for Material to be received post Job Process and, also with the option to define BoM at the transaction level, it will also provide the flexibility to capture information on material expected to be dispatched to the Job Worker. b. Job Work in Order This Voucher will allow the Job Worker to raise receipt of Job Order from Principal Company. This Voucher has a combined behaviour of Sales Order and Purchase Order as it will allow the user to raise an order for Material to be dispatched post Job Process and, also with the option to define BoM at the transaction level, it will also will give flexibility to capture information on material expected to be received from the Principal Company. Before introducing the other two Voucher Types, lets consider the following scenarios: Scenario 1: The Business wants to deliver goods to a Job Worker, however the ownership of goods is still with the Business and therefore they want the stocks to be shown in their Stock reports (Godown) and affect the Stock Valuation, till the time it is actually consumed by the Job Worker, in addition to this, it should give them a record of such Stocks held by the Job Worker. Scenario 2: Job Worker has received the goods from his Client, however the ownership of goods is not with the Job Worker and therefore he does not want these stocks to be shown in his Stock Summary nor it should affect his Stock Valuation. However Job Worker should be able to view a report which can provide the information related to each partys stock lying with him. There were three problems to be solved:
Stock Stock
Transfer without transfer of ownership of stock Valuation information about the actual stock availability
Updated
c. Material Out* Allows the user to record Raw Material issued to Job Worker or record Finished Goods dispatched to Principal Company, without actually affecting the Stock Valuation, i.e. using the Godown transfers (with the help of External Godown feature introduced in Release 3.0). The new feature allows both the parties to use the same Voucher Type. In case the principal company has enabled Excise feature, Tally.ERP 9 will also allow printing of Annexure II (Job Work Challan (Material Delivery Document)).
68
d. Material In* Allows the user to record Raw Material receipt from Principal Company or record receipt of finished goods from Job Worker, without actually affecting the Stock Valuation using the Godown transfers (with the help of External Godown feature introduced in Release 3.0). The new feature allows both the parties to use the same Voucher Type. *We are building few more capabilities which you will get to see in subsequent builds, i.e. tracking Billable material and Raw Material consumption, which makes these two vouchers a completely unique set of vouchers having all capabilities. 2. Job Work Reports
Order
Outstanding (In / Out): To keep a track of finished/semi- finished goods order outstanding information Issues/ Receipt Outstanding: To keep a track of Components promised to be delivered/ issued in Job Order but not received/ dispatched with Variance: Components/ Finished/ Semi Finished Goods issued with variance from what was Ordered
Component Issues
Receipt

Analysis for Stock at Job Worker Location: Principal can view the age of stock lying with Job Worker or and Job Worker can view Clients stock lying with him
Material
Ageing Stock
with Job Worker or of Client: This report will display the information of summary of our components with Job Worker or Clients component with us.
Banking
A new Banking Module has been introduced in Tally.ERP 9, to simplify the overall banking experience. The banking transactions can now be provided with bank allocation details such as the transaction type, instrument no, date, etc. A single bank amount can also be allocated to multiple transaction types such as Cheque/DD, Cash, Electronic Cheque, Electronic DD/PO, Inter Bank Transfer, Others and Same Bank Transfer based on the requirement. Bank Reconciliation: The BRS screen will now provide detailed information with regard to transaction types, instrument no., instrument date, favouring name, etc. The user can also provide opening BRS for un-reconciled transactions. The following utilities have also been provided in the Banking Module:
Cheque printing: This allows the user to print the pending or already printed cheques continuously from a single screen. It also allows you to update the cheque details and have track of cheques to be printed. Deposit Slips: The deposit slips for the selected Bank with complete details in-house may be generated through an automated system. Payment Advice: The payment advice sent to the suppliers / other parties for different transactions can be generated from Voucher itself.
The new Banking module can be experienced from Utilities menu available in Gateway of Tally.

Image/Logo Printing

Note: Logo Printing can be disabled for the specific report from the Print Configuration screen.
Bill Settlement from Outstandings

An option to settle the selected bill(s) from the Outstandings report for a selected party (Debtor/ Creditor) has been provided. This option allows the user to select the required Bills or all bills for any selected party and generate the required Payment or Receipt entries to close the selected bills. This option helps the user to:
Settle Make
multiple bills from single screen quick decisions and eliminate mistakes while making payments.
Pre-Closure of Orders
Tally.ERP 9 has now provided an option to Pre-close the Sales/Purchase Orders. The orders may be pre-closed from Order Outstandings as well as from the relevant Invoice screens. The user can specify the required remarks while closing any order and the same can be tracked from the Order Summary reports. The new feature avoids the requirement for adjustment entries to view the accurate Pending Orders summary, resulting in updated MIS.
70
Receipts & Payments Report

A new report Receipts and Payments Account has been introduced for the non-profit organisations and NGOs which rely on the Income and Expenses summary. This report provides the consolidated summary of Cash and Bank Book, prepared for the required period. It starts with the opening balance of Cash and Bank books and ends with the closing balance of Cash and Bank books. This report does not consider the outstanding receivables and payables. All Income and Expenses of Capital or Revenue in nature relating to the current, previous or subsequent year, so long as they are actually received or paid, they appear in this account. Receipts & Payments report can be viewed from Gateway of Tally > Display > Receipts and Payments.
Cash Flow Projection Statement

A new report Cash Flow Projection has been introduced in this release. Cash Flow Projection is an integral part of the financial section of all business plans, literally describing how cash is projected to flow in and out of a business. Unlike Cash Flow Statements which are used to explain the previous actual cash flow, the Cash Flow Projections are used to anticipate the cash to be generated or expended over a chosen period of time in the future. This will help the management for planning financial resources for future period and also in presenting the MIS reports. The Cash Flow Projection report in Tally.ERP 9 displays the projections on monthly basis (default) based on the last date of entry made till the end of the selected period. The user is allowed to specify the required period and also include scenarios for projection. It displays the availability of funds, the expected receipts and the payments for each projected period. This report can be viewed from Gateway of Tally > Display > Cash/Funds Flow > Cash Flow Projection.
New Rupee Symbol (`)

The new Rupee Symbol is now supported in Tally.ERP 9. All the new companies with Country as India will automatically use the new Rupee Symbol. Whereas all the existing users (having Indian Rupee Symbol in base currency/foreign currency) will be prompted to convert the existing base/foreign currency to new Indian Rupee Symbol. Once the conversion is complete the new Rupee symbol will be printed on the required Invoices/ Vouchers. Note: The user may also go to Company/Currency Alteration screen and press Ctrl+4 to change the existing currency symbol to new Rupee symbol.
Tally in Arabic
The multi-lingual capability of Tally.ERP 9 is enhanced to support bi-directional or bidi languages that are read and written from right to left. The display to support bi-directional languages needs to be changed in Language Configuration by selecting the required bi-directional language. By default, Tally.ERP 9 supports Arabic and Urdu bi-directional languages. On changing the displays users can record transactions, view, edit, print reports and export data in the selected language.
71
Multiple Addresses for Company and Ledger Masters

Many Organizations maintain a single ledger for parties having multiple branch offices/locations so that the transactions of such parties are available in consolidation for easy operations. Similarly, organizations having multiple locations/branches want to use the mailing details of the required branches/locations in their invoices and reports. The user can now select the addresses separately for Consignee and Buyer in case used in the Sales Invoice. The Multi Address feature in Tally.ERP 9 allows you to maintain multiple mailing details for an organization and its parties.
Item Cost Tracking

The Item Cost Tracking is provided to track the overall cost incurred and the profit earned for a specific Stock Item. The Item Cost Tracking is a dynamic link which can be established from any transaction. While tracking, the user can include all expenses, incomes and other consumption details incurred during manufacturing/ sales of the Stock Item. This helps in tracking the overall profitability or cost for the Stock Item, without affecting the stock values during the entire process. The Item Cost Analysis report provides the detailed information as per Stock Group/Stock Item or Item Cost Track Break-Up via various transactions.
Set your own Auto Backup folder

The Auto Backup feature now automatically backup data of multiple companies at a specific location, with file named TABK.900. The prevailing methodology of storing auto backup for an individual company in the respective companys folder is also retained for convenience. A new Unified Restore process is also introduced to simplifying the user experience while restoring the data.

2.4 TDL Enhancements

I. Collection Enhancements
We have made some path breaking enhancements at the Collection level in the previous Releases for Tally.ERP 9. The latest in this release is the introduction of the Attribute Walk Ex for performance improvements and the capability of Data Source Attribute to gather the information from a disk directory/folder within a collection. a. Attribute Walk Ex There are scenarios where we have Union of multiple collections using the same source collection and each collection walks over its sub objects across different paths and computes/ aggregates the values from sub level. In such cases, significant CPU cycles will be utilized in gathering and walking over the same Source Object along different paths more than once. WalkEx is introduced which when specified in the resultant collection, allows us to specify a collection list. The collections referred in WalkEx contain attributes only to walk the source collection and aggregate over Sub Objects of an already gathered collection. All walk paths specified in the collection list are traversed in a single pass for each object in the source collection. This results in improvements in performance drastically. b. Directory as a Data Source The collection attribute Data Source is enhanced to support Directory as data source type. This will enable to gather all information pertaining to the contents of the disk directory/ folder. Each folder constituent i.e. either File or Directory along with its corresponding details are available as an object in the collection.
II. Image Printing Capabilities

Over the years, there has been a major requirement from the user community to enable Image Printing in Tally. From this release onwards, we are supporting Image Printing using the latest enhancements mentioned as below
Graph Type attribute of Part allows the specification of BMP/JPG/JPEG image enabled for Print Mode also
92
A new Definition type Resource has been introduced in TDL. This will allow accessing and using the resources (images/icons/cursors etc) from a local disk, HTTP/FTP or from a DLL/ EXE. The image formats supported at present are BMP/JPEG/ICON/CUR. The resource thus created can be used in a part definition using the attribute Image.This is applicable in both Print and Display mode.
These enhancements have been used in default to print the company logo in the top left of the default Reports like Sales Invoice, Delivery Note/Challan, Debit/Credit Notes etc.
III. Enhanced Columnar Capability

In Tally, two dimensional matrix reports can be designed using the auto column report approach (using Repeat Variables). Traditionally these types of Reports are referred as columnar Reports. The latest enhancements in the area of Columnar Reporting enables us to design the reports using a new approach altogether. A field within a line can display method values from multiple objects of the collection. Context Free repeat within the part and line enable repetition on simple/list variable values also. These features give a better control in the hands of the programmer in designing such reports. The syntax of the attribute Repeat for Part and Line has been made consistent to support Context Based as well as Context Free repetition of line/field contained within it.
IV. Persisting Variables at System Scope in a User Specified File

As per enhancements as announced in Release 2.0, we are aware that the variables at the report scope can be persisted in a user specified file using the action SAVE VARIABLE. These can be reloaded as required using the action LOAD VARIABLE. The latest enhancements in variable persistence allows the user to persist and re-load the variables at System Scope (in a User Specified File) as well. The variable list specification in the syntax of the action SAVE VARIABLE helps in achieving the same.
V. Import/Export Events Introduced

As a part of the Language enhancements, in recent past there have been significant enhancements as a part of the Event Framework. Before this release events introduced were mostly related to handling application start up and close, company loading and unloading. The Object specific events were mainly focused around trapping events while rendering the data on screen and print. In this Release, we have introduced events to handle user specific requirements on data manipulation to be handled during Export and Import of data. With the introduction of Events, Start Import, Import Object and End Import, the programmers have got complete control to manipulate the data prior to importing the same into the company. This can be useful in scenarios like data transfers between Inter Branch where Delivery Note in a branch gets transformed into Receipt Note in the second branch; Sales transaction in a Branch gets transformed into Purchase transaction in the second branch and so on. Also, an action Import Object is introduced to begin the Import process. While exporting Full objects to XML and SDF formats with the introduction of Export Events, Before Export, Export Object and After Export, the user will be able to trap these events and get an access to the object being exported which can be altered as required before export. This can be useful in scenarios like changing required information during export, not displaying price/amount of the stock item while synchronizing Delivery Note to the branch offices, creating a consolidated sales entry from all the sales transactions of the day etc.
93
VI. Enhancement - Programmable Configuration

Prior to Tally.ERP 9 when multiple reports were printed or mass mailing was being done in a sequence, prior to each Action, a configuration report is displayed for user input. This would interrupt the flow, thereby requiring a dedicated person to monitor the process which is time consuming. This had been addressed in Tally.ERP 9 release 1.6, by providing an optional logical parameter to suppress the repeated display for the configuration screen before the invocation of global actions Print, Export, Upload and Email. From this Release onwards, programmable configurations are supported for actions Print Report, Export Report, Upload Report and Email Report also. These actions support the print, export, upload and email of the current report in context.
VII. Optional Default TDL Loading

Many Third Party Applications use Tallys rapid application development environment to render various complex reports using Tally Definition Language (TDL). Tally.ERP 9 acts as a front end application for various external databases to retrieve and manipulate information as and when required. Tally, being a comprehensive business application loads all the TDLs required as per the functional aspects of the Application. In cases where the third party applications require using Tally purely as a development platform, loading of complete application TDLs may prove to be expensive in terms of startup time. Specifically, to avoid the overheads in loading the functional TDL files in environments like above the command line parameter /NODEF has been introduced which will load the basic template files ONLY.
VIII. Refresh Issues in context of User Defined Function Evaluation

In case of a predefined Function, whenever the function accessed and manipulated certain UI elements like a variable, field value, method values of objects the link between the element and the calling UI is established. Each time these get manipulated again, the function gets reevaluated, new values get calculated and the corresponding UI is refreshed with new values. In case of a TDL procedural Function we faced certain issues, where the fields calling the function for some evaluation, were not refreshed with new values when the UI elements get modified elsewhere and the function does not get reevaluated. The refresh problems which we may have faced in context of using Function in evaluation scenario, has been resolved in the latest Release.
IX. Function and Attribute Enhancements

In the latest Release 3.0, there have been quite a few enhancements related to various attributes and functions. a. Report Attribute-Plain XML There are a some legacy and non standard applications which require an XML without formatting and applied styles. They consume the entire unformatted XML available as a single string without even a new line character. The attribute Plain XML introduced in Report definition allows the generation of XML without applying any formats and styles.
94
b. Field Attribute Format for Quantity Datatype When a method of type quantity is retrieved in a report, it is always expressed in terms of the primary unit. In case of the Unit of Measure is a nested compound unit, the user may require the quantity in terms of any of the units in the entire Compound unit chain. The format attribute of the field has been enhanced to specify the Tail unit in which the quantity value needs to be extracted. c. Field Attribute-Cell Write When the data is exported from an external application to Excel Format, especially in the following scenarios Excel faces refresh issues in some specific scenarios.This problem is addressed at the TDL level with the introduction of new Field attribute Cell Write which enables writing data corresponding to cells on which rest of the cells containing the formula/ template are dependent prior to writing the entire chunk. d. Function - $$StrByCharCode The function $$StrByCharCode accepts the ASCII code or Unicode and displays the corresponding special symbol. The Indian Rupee symbol display has been supported in the product using this function. The ASCII code for the new rupee symbol is 8377. e. Function - $$InPreviewMode In the scenarios, where the printing events Before Print and After Print are used to trigger an Action, the action was called even if the report is in preview mode. To overcome this problem the function $$InPreviewMode is introduced, using which actions can be triggered conditionally as required. f.Function - $$RemoteUserId In a remote environment, there may be scenarios where some restrictions need to be applied to the data access based on the user identity. This can be achieved at the TDL level by using a new function $$RemoteUserId which will return the user name of the remote user accessing the TDL. g. Function $$InWords Enhancements Prior to this release, the function $$InWords accepted only amount data type and displayed the amount in words. Now the function $$InWords is extended to accept Number data type as well and display it in words. h. Function $$ContextKeyword enhancements Prior to this release, the function $$ContextKeyword was used to return the Title of the Report or Menu. In the scenarios, like adding a report in the list of favourites, where the definition name of the current report was required instead of the report Title. The function $$ContextKeyword is enhanced to return Report name or Definition name.

From May 2010, the ESI eligibility limit has been increased to Rs. 15,000/- so now ESI will get calculated from May 2010 for Employee X till September 2010 irrespective of whether the Employee's Salary crosses Rs. 15,000/- or not in the following months. However, if the entry was passed for the month of April after processing May month's salary, ESI was getting calculated.

I. TDL Procedural Enhancements
With every Release the TDL Procedural Capabilities are getting strengthened at a commendable pace. The latest along this path is the File Input Output Capability.
Procedural File Input/Output Capability
This capability introduced in TDL now will pave the way for supporting import/export operations from the Tally DataBase in the most amazing way. It will now be possible to export almost every piece of information in any Data Format which we can think of. We support Text and Excel Format which allow data storage in SDF-Fixed Width, CSV-comma separated etc sufficing the generic data analysis requirements of any business. The Read/Write exchange is supported across the various protocols like ftp and http as well. Inside a function the file contexts available are Source File and Target File. The data can be read from one file and can be written to another file simultaneously. It is now possible to perform Read/Write on a Text and Excel File without the dependency on any of the definitions. This gives complete control in the hands of the programmer to perform these operations. We have provided a comprehensive set of Actions and Functions to perform the various file operations.
141
For a text file

Read
Operation: Various functions for this support reading a specified no of characters, reading a line and moving the file pointer to a specific location Operation: Various Actions for this support writing a specified no of characters, writing a line and moving the file pointer to a specific location.
Write
For a Excel File

Read
Operation: Various functions for this support locating the Active Sheet, finding the sheet name from index and vice versa and reading data from a specified cell. Operation: Various Actions for this support Adding a new sheet, making a sheet Active, Writing to a cell, writing an entire row or an entire column.
Write
Function Parameter Changes
The various changes at this level allow the user to pass optional no of parameters to a function for e.g.: If a function takes three parameters, it is now possible to pass only one or two parameters while calling the functions as it is possible to specify default values for those parameters inside the function declaration itself. In the prior releases we have experienced major changes to the Variable Framework in form of introduction to Compound Variables and List Variables. We are continuously enhancing and making changes to ensure consistency and uniformity across the TDL framework. The following enhancements have taken place in variable framework recently.
II.Variable Framework Enhancements
Persistence at Report Scope
Earlier we supported persistence of the variable at System scope Only. This has been extended for Report Scope Variables as well. The actions supported for this allow saving of a list of variables to a specific file and then retrieving from the file across Tally sessions. The file format supported for this is a .pvf (Portable Variable Format) file.
Multiple Instances & Replicating Variables
Till date it was not possible to declare two variables of same type. For e.g.: If we had a Compound Variable by the name Employee, we could declare a variable by the name Employee at various scopes i.e. at System/Report/Function. The only way to declare multiple variables of type Employee was to create a List Variable. In cases where we need to refer to more than one variable of type Employee by different names, the need to have multiple instances becomes mandatory. With the current enhancement it is now possible to declare, refer and operate on two or more variables Emp A and Emp B of same type Employee. Actions to copy the data from one variable to another is also supported.
Absolute Specification in Dotted Syntax
The dotted syntax support for variables was limited to Relative specification i.e. it was possible to access the value of a variable starting from at the current scope only. This dotted syntax for variables has been enhanced to support absolute specification i.e. it is now possible to access variable values from parent scope as well. For e.g.: If we are at function B which is called from Report A, we can access a variable abc available at Report A using absolute specification.
142
III.Event Framework Enhancements

Timer Event Support
This is a path breaking enhancement in Tally which will enable scheduled execution of any Action. This has been supported with the introduction of a System Event called Timer. We can have a set of timer events of specified durations and trigger an Action on the same. For e.g.: if we require Synchronisation to be triggered every one hour we can define a Timer event which triggers the action Sync. Actions for Starting and Stopping the timer have been provided. There have been various enhancements at the TDL level to enable Remote Edit Capability in the product. The enhancements are listed as below:
IV. Enhancements for Remote Edit
Fetch Object Attribute Changes
The attribute Fetch Object is supported at Report, Form, Field and Function level as well. The Object Name specification in the syntax allows expressions now. It is also possible to specify multiple Object Names separated by the Fetch Separator Character. A new function $$FetchSeperator is introduced to return this character.
Fetch Values Attribute Introduced
The evaluation of External Methods of an Object requires Object Context to be available at the Client End. A new Attribute Fetch Values is provided at the Report level to specify the list of External Methods
Multi Objects Attribute Introduced
Whenever multiple Objects of the same collection is getting modified at the Client End, a new attribute called MultiObjects is introduced at the Report Level to enable the same.
Modifies Attribute Changes
The Modifies attribute of the field is changed to accept a third parameter (optional) which is an expression. This allows the variable to be modified with the value of the expression rather than the field value.
Collection Attribute-Parm Var
As we already know the Collection Artifact evaluates the various attributes either during initialization or at the time of gathering the collection. It may require various inputs from the Requestor context for the same. The direct reference of values/expressions from the report elements and objects in the collection at various points creates various issues like code complexity, performance lapses and non availability of these values on Server in Remote Environment. In order to overcome the above we have introduced a new Collection attribute Parm Var. Parm Var in collection is a context free structure available within the collection. The requestors Object context is available for the evaluation of its value. This is evaluated only once in the context of the caller/requestor. This happens at collection initialization and the expression provided to it is evaluated and stored as a variable which can be referred within any of the attributes of the collection at anytime and is made available at the Server end as well.
143
V. Generic Capabilities
Copy File
A new Action Copy File has been introduced. This allows Copy of a file across folders, upload and download to a ftp path.
Refresh Data
In a multiuser environment, the data is being manipulated by multiple users at the same time. The changes in data will affect the data displayed in various Reports. A report which is opened on a system may not display the correct information since it is not continuously Refreshed. In order to achieve the same a new Report Specific Action Refresh Data has been introduced. This Action coupled with its usage along with timer event can be used to refresh a Report at periodic intervals

Invoking Actions on Event Occurrence-System & Printing Events Introduced
Prior to this release the Events Form Accept and Focus were introduced. In this Release there has been major enhancements in the Event Framework as a whole. Under this framework specified Actions can be triggered on the occurrence of a particular Events. The Events are implicit which can be classified broadly into System Events and Object Specific Events. The System Events introduced are System Start/End and Company Load/Close. Object Specific Events introduced are Before/After Print.
Collection Enhancements 1. Using External PlugIns as a Data Source for Collections
Tally now provides a TDL interface to obtain datasets in Collection from external Plug-Ins. These Plug-Ins are written as DLL's which can be used to fetch external data (ie either from Internet or from external Database etc). These DLL's should return a valid XML which can be easily mapped into TDL Collection. In other words, TDL program can provide simple string value and/or XML to the DLL function. The DLL gives XML data as an output. Collection takes
161
this data and converts into objects and object methods which can be accessed in TDL like other objects. DLL collection will be very useful in the following scenarios: 1. Display stock quotes from the internet 2. Get data from different formats like CSV, HTML 3. External device interfaces 4. Weighing scale interface 5. RFID Barcode scanner 6. Petrol Pump device interface 7. Foot fall count 8. External application interfaces 9. GAS distributor application 10. To get attendance details in Pay Roll through swipe Etc Etc ..
2. Dynamic Table Support using Unique Attribute
The Unique attribute of Collection definition is used to control the display of unique values in the table for a specified method based on values selected from the table previously in a field. The display of values is changed dynamically based on the field value. The unique attribute has been enhanced to add a new sub attribute in the syntax which is used to specify another field object method which also participates in controlling the uniqueness of values in the table.
3. Using Variable as a Data Source for Collections
The collection attribute Data Source is enhanced to support 'Variable' as data source. Now variable values can be gathered as objects to the collection. When the Data Source is a Compound variable with multiple levels, the same is available in Collection as a complete object hierarchy.
Evaluating expressions by Changing the Object Context- $$ReqOwner Introduced
Any expression in TDL is evaluated in context of Interface and Data Object existing at that instance. There are many context changing functions available in the platform. They change either the Interface Object context or Data Object context. In order to change a particular object context, functions like $$Owner, $ReqObj etc are used. In this release a new function called "ReqOwner" is introduced which is used to change the Interface(Requestor) Object context one level up the chain.
Variable Framework with Compound Variables Introduced
Variables are context free light weight data structures which can store values. They assume an initial value at instantiation and can change during the program execution. The variable framework has been completely revamped to support Compound Variables. Prior to this release we came up with list variables where it was possible to store multiple values of the same datatype within a list. With the introduction of Compound Variables now it will be possible to store multiple values of different datatypes within the same structure. Each
162
member of a compound Variable can either be a simple variable, a list variable or another compound variable. The nesting can extend upto any level. Compound variables are very useful in all cases where it is needed to store and manipulate multiple variables of different type as a unit.
Third Party Applications Using Tally Licensing Mechanism
Third Party Applications can validate the Request Response Interaction with Tally using robust License Mechanism built in Tally with various approaches. The below approaches can be used by the Third Party Applications to retrieve & validate the License Information from Tally based on the level of Security desired.
License Info Retrieval using Open XML The Third Party Applications will be able to send an XML Request to call platform function within Tally which is used to retrieve the required License Info from Tally. This is a less secured option as the license data will be available over an Open XML. License Info Retrieval using Encoding Procedure built in a TCP The Third Party Application will send a Validation String within the XML Request. At Tallys End, the validation string and the required License Info will be encoded using the procedures (Non Standard) built inside the TDL.

In this release there have been enhancements at the User Defined Functions, Collections and Actions. It is now possible to program the configurations for the Actions-Print/Upload/Export/Mail. This breakthrough capability has enabled us to deliver the mass mailing feature in our product. The collection attribute Keep Source is enhanced to accept a new value i.e 'Keep Source: ().This is done with an aim to improve the performance. The Loop Collection capability has paved the way for displaying and operating on Multi Company Data along with ease of programming. We are enriching the TDL language with more and more procedural capabilities by introducing $$LoopIndex and Looping construct FOR RANGE. There have been some changes in the Action NEW OBJECT as well. With the introduction on the function SysInfo, it is now possible to retrieve all system related information consistently using a single function.
Programmable Configurations for Print/Export/Upload/Mail actions
In Tally.ERP9, Actions Print, Export, Mail and Upload depend upon various parameters like Printer Name, File Name, Email To, etc. Prior to execution of these actions, the relevant parameters are captured in a Configuration Report. There are situations when multiple reports are being printed or mass mailing is being done in a sequence. Subsequent to each Print or Email Action, if a configuration report is popped up for user input, this interrupts the flow, thereby requiring a dedicated person to monitor the process which is time consuming too.
196
This has been addressed in the recent enhancement in Tally.ERP 9, where the configuration report can be suppressed by specifying a logical parameter. Also, the variables can be set prior to invoking the desired action.
User Defined Function-Enhancements

Looping Construct-For Range
A new looping construct has been introduced inside User Defined Functions. It is now possible to execute a loop over a finite range of number/date values. i.e. if a loop has to be executed 50 times then the range of counter variable has to be specified from 1 to 50. For Date range it is possible to iterate over day, week, month or year.
New Function-$$LoopIndex
In a programming language usually a loop is executed for a finite no of times using a counter variable.The nesting of loops can go upto infinity. There are scenarios where the current value of the loop variable may be required for intermediate computations. The new function $$LoopIndex is used to provide the iteration count of the current loop or the outer loops upto any level.
Action New Object-Changes
The Action New Object inside User Defined Function takes Object Type and Object Identifier as parameters. In case Object Identifier is not specified a new object of the specified type is created. If the Object Identifier is specified and the object with this identifier does not exist in the database the Action Save Target will fail. To overcome this we have introduced an additional logical parameter Force Create Flag along with Object Identifier to allow automatic creation of a blank object of the type, if the identified object does not exist in the database.
Collection Attribute Value -Keep Source: ().
The attribute KeepSource takes different values which is used to specify, the In memory source retention of the collection. The various specifications like .,..,Yes, No were used earlier for this. The source collection is retained along with the data object associated with the UI(User Interface) object in the current UI(User Interface) object hierarchy as per specification. The newly introduced specification (). is used to keep the source collection with the parent UI object which is either Report, Menu or Function.
Collection Attribute-Collection Changes-Loop Collection
We are aware that it is possible to gather the data from multiple collections in one collection using the attribute Collection of the Collection Definition. The resultant data in the collection is the union of all objects gathered from the list of data collections specified as comma separated list. The Collection attribute of collection definition is enhanced to repeat and combine the same data collection dynamically based on the number and context of each object in another collection referred to as Loop Collection
New Function-SysInfo Introduced
Prior to this release there were a few functions existing in the platform which were used to retrieve system related information. To name a few, MachineDate returns System Date,
197
MachineTime returns System Time etc. There was a requirement to fetch few other information like Windows User Name, IP Address etc. For consistency, a single function SysInfo has been introduced which accepts different parameters based on the requirement and subsequently return the desired result. The parameter is a keyword like ApplicationPath, CurrentPath, SystemDate etc

278
New Tally.ERP 9 Installer

The new installer allows the user to install Tally.ERP 9 application as well as License Server, however you may choose to install either of them one after the other. Using the new Installer, the user can install Tally.ERP 9 and License Server separately on different Computers/folders or same folder.
While installing Tally.ERP 9, the user can specify the path for Application, Data, Configuration and Language files to be stored.
Fig.2 Tally.ERP 9 Installation screen
While
Installing Tally.ERP 9 on the Client machine in a multiuser environment, the user is required to provide the Computer Name / IP Address and Port Number of the computer, where the License Server is installed & running.
Uninstaller: The Uninstaller wizard similar to the Installer, also provides flexibility to uninstall either Tally.ERP 9 application or License Server separately or both together. If only License Server is uninstalled, then Tally.ERP 9 will switch to Education mode on the Client Computer.
Tally Admin Tool

The TallyAdmin tool is a new component that has been introduced with Tally.ERP 9 which enables the user to perform the following activities without starting Tally.ERP 9
Initiate Display
License Service operations. the active Tally.ERP 9 License Servers in a LAN. Site License for different products from Tally.ERP 9.
Administer Check
network connections between the computers designated as Client and Server. TCP and TSF files of Tally 9 to the format compatible with Tally.ERP 9.
Convert
The Tally Admin Tool is available in the Tally.ERP 9 application folder, on installation.
279
Introduction to TDL Server DLL Component

Tally.ERP 9 onwards, a new component TDLServer.DLL has been introduced, which gets copied to the folder in which Tally.ERP 9 has been installed. All the default TDL files of Tally have been integrated in this component. On invoking Tally.ERP 9, these TDLs will be loaded. The user TDLs will be subsequently loaded as usual from Tally.ini. The componentization will result in a more robust application. The benefits of this componentization are as follows
In
case of any updates/ changes in TDL, only TDLServer.dll file needs to be downloaded and not the entire Tally application which enables faster downloads.
This will help in dynamic loading and unloading of TDL Files while Tally application is running
Forthcoming
Tally Developer will be directly using this component, thus eliminating the need for a separate DefTDL.dat file.
Unified File Format for Tally.ERP 9

The Tally.ERP 9 application folder contains files other than the data files. These are referred to as secondary files. From this release onwards the file format of all the secondary files have been standardized.
TCP Files All the TDL files which were compiled for previous versions of Tally as .tcp have to be converted to a new format. Mentioned below are the ways in which this can be done.
Notes: The TDL files in txt format does not require this conversion.
Conversion of Tally 7.2 tcp files to Tally.ERP 9 Format Tally7.2 tcp files can be migrated to Tally.ERP 9 format using the Tally72Migration tool available in the Tally.ERP 9 folder. Migration process is the same as earlier. Conversion of Tally 9 tcp files to Tally.ERP 9 Format

Automatic Conversion Process: When Tally.ERP 9 is installed in the existing Tally 9 folder then all the files with .tcp extension included in the tally.ini file are automatically converted to the Tally.ERP 9 compatible format. The original .tcp file is renamed as <filename>.tcp.BAK. The name of the file which is converted to new format is same as the original filename. The original TCP file is retained as a backup file. Conversion Process: To manually convert the files in the new format use the Conversion tab of Tally Admin Tool.
Manual
It is mandatory to specify the File Type. The file Type can be TSF or TCP.
TSF: TCP:
Converts tally configuration file from old format to new format e.g. tallysav.tsf to tallycfg.tsf Converts TCP file from old format to new format.
In the Source File box specify the name of file to be converted. In Destination File box provide the name for the converted file.
280
Note: Start Tally.ERP 9 and check the status of your TDL file. [Go to Gateway of Tally, click F12: Configuration > TDL Configuration] If the status is Active, then the tdl is compatible to Tally.ERP 9 format. If the status is Error, then scroll down to the line and press enter to know the details. Then make the TDL syntactically compatible as per the Tally.ERP 9 standards.
Configuration File Manually the file Tallysav.tsf can be converted to the new standardized format by selecting TSF as the file type in the Conversion tab of Tally Admin Tool. Ensure that the destination file name is Tallycfg.tsf

2.2 Data Synchronization Changes

Using Direct Client and Server Capability
Direct- Client and Server capability for Synchronization through a private network will be incorporated as a default feature of Tally.ERP 9 Series A release 1.0 onwards.
Using Tally.NET Server

The process of Data Synchronization using TallyLink Server has been changed in Tally.ERP 9. Going forward Synchronization will be available as a service through the Tally.NET Framework. The user will be able to use Tally.ERP 9 Silver (SU) at both the ends to Synchronize data.
To use this service the Tally Server Company has to be Connected to Tally.NET server at the time of Synchronization. Note: Tally.NET Server (TNS) will be used for Synchronization instead of TRB Server.
In Sync Configuration, under TallyLink Configuration, the options "Use Tally Link & "Connect to Tally Link Server" have been removed.
2.3 Size and Performance changes

Automatic caching based on system memory
Report generation involving large amount of data was always impeded by the problem of high memory usage. In Tally.ERP 9, a new feature has been introduced to overcome this hurdle. The application now uses an automatic caching based on the memory of the system it is running on. This results in the usage of lesser memory even with higher data volumes. Reports which were running out of memory or consuming a large amount of virtual memory on a 2GB system, will now respond even on a 1GB system. This can be observed by generating a report, say a day book containing 50,000 to 100,000 vouchers on a 512MB machine using the last major release as well as this release.
Faster Data Entry

The data entry speed has been considerably increased in scenarios where there are a large number of Tracking numbers and list of pending orders. In other words, the time taken to make a single
292
entry has been reduced due to the faster retrieval and display of tables for selection of tracking numbers and pending orders.
Application size reduction by three-fourth

A faster, powerful and a SMALLER Tally.ERP 9 application! The application has been redesigned to drastically reduce its size. The exe file of the application has been reduced to approximately threefourth the size of earlier versions. To be more precise, it has been reduced from 10.7 MB to 1.96 MB. This will result in faster installation, loading, and opening of the application, thereby enhancing the overall user experience.
DATA SIZE Reduction

The data size for Tally.ERP 9 has been effectively reduced to 40%. This will help in enhancing the overall performance of the application.
Note: Data rewrite is mandatory in this release.

3. TDL Enhancements for Tally.ERP 9

In Tally.ERP 9, major changes have been provided by the platform to enhance the TDL capabilities which helps the programmer to develop and deploy quick and efficient solutions with ease. Major improvements have taken place in terms of language usage standardisation and performance improvements. Breakthrough enhancements at the Collection level to provide capabilities of Remoting and Advanced Reporting. Collection is now a complete Data Processing Artefact in TDL. Let us now have an overview of the major enhancements that have taken place in the areas mentioned below. A detailed documentation for each of these enhancements is available in our document TDL Enhancements for Tally.ERP 9. This document along with corresponding Sample TDLs can be downloaded from our website. For detailed documentation refer to TDL Enhancements for Tally.ERP 9.
3.1 Attributes and Modifier Enhancements

Based on user requirements and analysis many new attributes have been introduced. These have impacted the programmer in a way that has reduced their deployment time to cater to functional requirements. Some of the new usage have improved the performance drastically. The behaviour and syntax of many attributes and modifiers have been changed to maintain consistency and ease of code. The sequence of evaluation of attributes and modifiers have been standardised. Mentioned below is the complete set of new Attributes and Modifiers

3.2 Enhanced Special Symbols

New special symbols have been introduced to take care of Multiline commenting(/* */), reinitializing definitions(*). The existing system formulas can now be modified for optimized performance using the extended behaviour of #
3.3 New Method Formula Syntax with Relative Object Specification

The $ operator has been enhanced with a new capabilities. This allows direct access to any object method including its sub-collections to any level with a dotted notation framework. Using the new capability, there is no need to repeat a line over a sub-collection to access it. The values from any object anywhere can be accessed without making the object as the current object in context.
3.4 Enhancements-Object Association & Object Access via Interface Object

In TDL, Interface Object exists in context of any data object. Every Interface object needs to be associated with some data object. In the absence of any explicit object association, Interface object will get associated with Anonymous object. TDL programmer can explicitly associate Interface objects like Report, Part, Line and Field with data object. There have been changes either in the form of syntax improvements or with the introduction of new attributes like Object Ex at the part level. From this release onwards, data objects in associated with Interface objects can be accessed using the new Interface object access syntax. Now it is possible to identify an Interface object using Access Name and then use the enhanced method formula syntax to access the Data Object associated with it. Data object which is associated to Interface Object can be accessed with the following 2 step procedure. 1. Identifying Part and Line Interface object with Access Name 2. Value/Collection Extraction
3.5 Bracket Support in Language Syntax

Prior to this release, the usage of TDL language token bracket (( and )) was restricted as mathematical operator only. From this release onwards brackets can be used in the following scenarios. 1. During the function call to enclose the function parameter. 2. In the language syntax for nesting formulas. 3. As a Mathematical Operator
3.6 Action Enhancements

Key action is enhanced to perform various operations on multiple lines. Multiline selection capability is possible with the help of two attributes Scope(Key definition) and Selectable (Part and Line definition).

3.7 User Defined Functions in TDL

This is one of the breakthrough changes which has taken place at the platform level. We all know that TDL is a definition language which provides capability for rapid development. But now TDL is procedural as well. With the introduction of Functions/Procedures as a part of Tally.ERP 9 family the TDL capabilities have reached a new dimension. This will help the application programmers to develop their own functions for achieving business functionality. Their will be a decrease in platform dependency for particular business function. The resultant would be faster development cycles for business modules. For detailed documentation, refer to User Defined Functions for Tally.ERP 9.
3.8 Collection Enhancements

Collection, the data processing artefact of TDL provides extensive capabilities to gather data not only from Tally database but also from external sources using ODBC, DLLs, and HTTP and so on. A set of new capabilities have been added to Collection which provides far more flexibility and power in the hands of the TDL programmer. This will allow writing significantly complex reports with ease and still delivering enhanced performance with high volume of data. The following are the capabilities which have been achieved using new collection enhancements.
Aggregation & Summarization

A major technological advancement in this release of Tally.ERP 9 is Data Roll up in TDL Collection GROUP BY. This will now facilitate the creation of large summary tables of aggregations in a single shot using the new attributes of the Collection description. This allows us to Walk down the object hierarchies and gathers values and summarizes them in one scan. Overall it reduces the TDL code complexity, resource requirement and increases performance drastically in case of reports generated using this new capability.
296
Collection re-use, extraction and chaining

A collection can extract information from other collections including its sub-objects with the choice of method(s), filter(s) and sort-order. Source Collection within a collection, collection(s) can be chained. In other words, Summary Collection can be used as Source Collection for some other Collection and so on.
Indexed or Searchable Collection on TDL defined keys

The capabilities discussed above extend the data gathering capabilities of TDL. However business reporting in general and in Tally uses hierarchical presentation or columnar presentation rather than simple table representation. If Report is having two or more dimensions like Ledger and Cost Centre and so on, a simple repeat on the summarized collection will not suffice. In order to improve performance indexing capability has been introduced which will work with a key combination.
Usage as Tables
TDL allows to display the values obtained from the collection as a pop-up table. Earlier the values of voucher and the ODBC data cant be displayed as a collection. Now all limitations pertaining to usage of Collections as Tables have been completely eliminated. Any collection which can be created in TDL can be displayed as a table now. Collection with aggregation and XML Collections can also be used as Tables.
Integration Capabilities using HTTP XML Collection

Collection capability has been enhanced to gather live data from HTTP/web-service delivering XML. The entire XML is automatically now converted to TDL objects and is available natively in TDL reports as $ based methods. Reports can be shown live from an HTTP server. The attributes in collection for gathering XML based data from a remote server over HTTP are RemoteURL, RemoteRequest, XMLObjectPath, and XMLObject.
Dynamic Object support for HTTP-XML Information Interchange

When a collection is used for editing (alter/create), objects are dynamically added to the collection when a new line is repeated over the same. The type of object which is added depends on the specification in the TYPE attribute. In case the TYPE attribute is not specified it defaults to adding a standard empty object. However the following holds true for a COLLECTION keeping in mind the latest enhancements
It It
can be made up of multiple types of objects (say Ledgers and Groups)
can have TDL defined objects which are retrieved from XML file.They are specified using XML Object. can have aggregated objects
It
Depending solely on the TYPE attribute for deciding the object type is a constraint with respect to the above facts. This is now being removed with the introduction of a new attribute which will independently govern the type of object to be added to the collection on-the-fly. A new attribute NEW OBJECT is now supported for collection
297
Collection Capabilities for Remoting

Enabling access to your organizational data in an any-time, any-where and yet being truly usable is what Tally.ERP 9 delivers. With Tally.NET enabled remote access, it will be possible for any authorized user to access Tally.ERP 9 from anywhere. Major Enhancements have taken place at the collection level to achieve remoting capabilities. The attributes Fetch, Compute and AggrCompute provided at the collection level and FetchObject and FetchCollection at the report level significantly help in above functionality. For detailed documentation, refer to Writing Remote Compliant TDL for Tally.ERP 9.
