• E-capabilities

Page 6: Comparison  between various version of tally

RELEASE 1Reorder 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 Levels• Obtain Reorder Status and Quantities to order• Alter Reorder Levels and minimum quantities

Page 7: Comparison  between various version of tally

RELEASE 1 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.

Page 9: Comparison  between various version of tally

RELEASE 1Scenario 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 Vouchers• Memorandum Vouchers• Reversing Journals

Tally's database is now open for use in most popular programs to give you the unlimited flexibility of creating your own reports using up-to-date data from Tally.

• Inward Connectivity

• On the other hand, Tally ies 7.2 is capable of being programmed by TallyExperts to use data from other systems much more easily. This permits you to continue using other systems and use some of their data in Tally as if they were parts of one integrated system. For example, a customer contact management program may contain various details like status of an order and last contact made. Bring in that data into Tally to merge into a report containing outstanding balances. Any changes in the other data will be immediately reflected in Tally.

Release 1.0 Major Changes and Enhancements

• LIFO and FIFO valuation method• Std Cost and Std Price Valuation method

– If you have not set Set Standard Rates? in Stock Item masters but have set Costing Method to Std Cost and Market Valuation Method to Std. Price. In Tally 7.2, the First Purchase cost was taken into consideration for the Std Cost Valuation and the First Sale price for Std Price valuation methods.

– However, Tally 8.1 accurately considers the Last Purchase cost for Std Cost Valuation and the Last Sale Price for Std Price valuation

• On Account values were being taken as 'overdue' in Ratio Analysis in 7.2– In Tally 7.2, On Account values were taken into consideration

while calculating values for Due till today in Ratio Analysis.– Tally 8.1 has resolved this and displays only the outstanding

values in Due till today. (for Sundry Debtors and Creditors)

Page 29: Comparison  between various version of tally

Release 1.0 Major Changes and Enhancements

• Average Cost– When Multiple Sales and Purchases are made against Receipt and Delivery

Notes at a rate different from that specified in the Receipt and Delivery notes– For Example: Let us assume you have passed a Receipt Note for 100 nos. of an

item @ Rs. 100 per item. Subsequently you pass a Purchase Invoice for 30 nosof the item @ Rs. 120 against the above Receipt Note. This means that some items are still pending against the tracking number.

– In Tally 7.2, the difference in the rates would be incorrectly included in the original value The balance sheet viewed with Avg. Cost valuation method displays closing stock values at Rs. 10,600.

– This has been resolved in the new Tally 8.1, which accurately displays the Avg. Cost closing stock valuation in the balance sheet as Rs. 10,000.

• Pending Tracking number values were approximate, even though quantities were accurate (causing few Paise difference depending on context)– Tally 7.2 used to display pending Delivery/Receipt with approximate values,

causing a small difference in the values.– Tally 8.1 has resolved this and displays the pending Delivery/Receipt Notes

values accurately.
