Welcome to TALLY! Let us begin by getting an idea
of the
philosophy
behind this
product. This awareness will increase your efficiency and
appreciation of
the program, as also indicate the kind of
suggestions
you can make to
increase its general utility.
No codes!
The simplest description of TALLY is
financial Accounting Software,
which belies the
power and sophistication of the system. If a computer
program can be said to have a heart, then the heart
of TALLY is the
mechanism to eliminate the need of CODES. Many of
the facilities of
TALLY are
possible because of this single item.
The need
of the elimination of codes is simple. The removal
of an
additional layer
of information between Accounts
and the people
managing it increases the usage and psychological
acceptability of a
system. Traditionally, the association of CODES with
COMPUTERS was a
requirement of
the archaic computing METHOD, rather than a requirement
of computers
itself. Despite the evolution
of systems over
the
years,programmers have tended to remain with CODES as it makes
life
for the COMPUTER
easier. The question that we have asked is : Are you
developing
software to make life for the COMPUTER easier, or life for
YOU easier?
No change in
methods!
The principal effort in TALLY has been to prevent
you from requiring
to LEARN
a NEW ACCOUNTING METHOD. You will NOT NEED TO CHANGE
your
style of accounting in any manner. Efforts have
been made to retain
the flexibility
of a manual system, to permit
the indiscipline of
entering vouchers
at random, to
permit easy retrieval
of any
information, and to correct human errors. Apart from this,
power has
been added to handle classification of accounts to
any level and any
desired manner,
to keep track of outstandings in a completely flexible
style. to
exercise fine control
over budgets and
individual
transactions, to generate information based on
Coast and Profit
Centres, and all
of it an tremendous speed.
Flexible reports!
In keeping
with the basic philosophy of NO CHANGE
pains have been
taken over the
aesthetic presentation of the printed books and reports
to give a
near duplicate of existing manual
system of accounting.
Complete control over the range and style of
balancing, printing of
summaries or details, and even cross-verification
of information is
provided to give
the psychological satisfaction of a perfect system.
TALLY comes
with no predefined structure of
accounts heads. Every
single aspects is
completely controlled by you and therefore will work
identically to
your existing system. We strongly advise not to attempt
a change
in your working methods simply to exploit
some of the
additional power
of TALLY. It is flexible enough
to permit this
exploitation at any
future time. Use the system with
your existing
methods, and when greater familiarity,
understanding and confidence
comes, increase
your use to power.
