Apart from Accounting purposes,

Tally ERP 9 is also used as an

Inventory management software.

Inventory management is all about knowing the status of

goods/stock at a given point in time. It is also a way of

managing all the products that are in stock - optimizing the

overall quality, flexibility, speed, cost and ensuring that the

flow of goods is uninterrupted and fluid. This is very important

because of the vast amount of data at hand that needs to be

tracked and verified.

much & when
