What’s New in Tally.ERP 9 Series A
What’s New in Tally.ERP 9 – Auditors’ Edition
The highlights of this release are listed below :
Audit Working Papers
In a live audit scenario, Auditors have to manually record their comments. The Audit Working Paper (AWP) feature in Tally.ERP 9 Auditors’ Edition eliminates this manual-entry.
Track Transactions on Holidays & Weekly Offs
Auditors can now check for transactions which are entered by the client on holidays (weekly offs- viz., Sunday & National/State/Bank Holidays).
Inter Bank Transfers
This feature provides visibility to fund transfers from one Bank to another, allowing the Auditor to investigate frequent instances.
Unadjusted Advances
The Unadjusted Advances feature gives an overall report of the status of ledgers having pending advance receivables.
Highest & Lowest Value Transactions
Transactions of any kind can either be consistent or near – consistent over a period of time; they should not fluctuate wildly. This feature allows Auditors to analyse the top High and/or Low ‘X’ (eg: 5 or 10) number of transactions.
Accounts squared off during the year
This feature in Tally.ERP 9 Auditors’ Edition will help the Auditor track transactions which do not have an opening balance or a closing balance, i.e. balances which are squared off in the financial year.
Checklist of Accounting Standard (AS) Compliance
The Checklist of Accounting Standard (AS) Compliance feature in Tally.ERP 9 Auditors’ Edition lists all the standards as per the Accounting Standards Board (ASB); Auditors can check if their clients comply.
Checklist of Audit & Assurance Standard (AAS) Compliance
Tally.ERP 9 Auditors’ Edition provides a complete list of Audit & Assurance Standards (AAS). These benchmarks are used to measure the quality and the objectives achieved in audits.
Percentage report of sample size for substantive test
The Percentage Report dashboard in the Auditors’ Edition provides a list of vouchers sampled along with the percentage of the sampling methods adopted for each of them.
Cash Withdrawals/Deposits to Bank
Cash Withdrawals and Deposits are scrutinised based on their respective dates recorded in the books. Tally.ERP 9 Auditors’ Edition helps Auditors track and review irregularities in such transactions.
Stale Cheques/Instruments
When cheques have not been deposited into the Bank or not cleared within a specified time-frame, they are called Stale Cheques/Instruments. Tally.ERP 9 Auditors’ Edition introduces this feature which lists all such instruments for the purpose of scrutiny by the Auditor.

Multiple Addresses For Company and Ledger Masters
Now, The Flexibility You Always Wanted
  |
Whether transacting a sale or a purchase, staff often had difficulty managing the documentation. Sometimes the sale took place from H.O. Then, communications needed to be directed to another office, while the shipment went from a third location such as a warehouse. Each of these steps called for different addresses to be entered in the documents, EACH TIME. It was complicated and led to delays and errors. Further, Statutory filing often called for a different address.Unlimited Labels make life Easier!
Extremely useful when Companies have multiple offices, the powerful Multiple Address facility in Tally.ERP 9 lets you generate as many Labels just the way your business requires. Choose Labels like ‘Godown’ or ‘Warehouse’ or ‘Branch (South)’ apart from H.O., Corporate Office etc., with corresponding details for each. Then, simply select a Label from the list and the full address gets inserted in the Invoice. |
Benefits:
- Enhances flexibility
- Reduces errors since selection is made from a list
- Increases comfort and ease of use
- Convenient

Job Work In/Out in Tally
Job Work In/Out
 |
The Job Work feature supports outsourced ‘jobs’ as well as inward ‘orders’ to businesses such as ancillary units. Solving issues related to inventory tracking and profit assessment, it helps streamline operations: What raw materials need to be shipped to the job worker? How many finished goods are expected and when? How much raw material is lying in the job worker’s factory? How to manage multiple job workers… |
Item Cost Tracking
Item Cost Tracking refers to accumulation of costs and revenue for Stock Items across various transactions. The track can be created with any transaction and then referred later in any transaction without needing the link to any master or configuration. Tracking the Procurement cost, Landing cost, Manufacturing or Production cost, Order cost/profit, Job cost/profit…allows analysis of the running cost and profitability of the item. The Item Cost and Profit Tracking feature is also useful in determining the Sale price of finished goods.
In addition, Job Work in Tally.ERP 9 allows:
- Multiple order tracking
- MI (Material In) matched against Work Orders and not Item Masters
- Value tracking including advance payments
- Item tracking and Accounting legs of each transaction
- Billing of own material utilised for Job Order undertaken
- Tracking of billable item status (material utilised for a Job Order and their billing status)
- Position of finished goods hence realise-able money value
Tally.ERP 9 Job Work feature allows Inventory tracking against Bill of Materials. Since it is a transaction Bill of Materials, it does not require changing at Item Masters level. It adjusts for external godown conditions when items sit in a job worker’s factory, providing visibility to the stocks held by the business at any time. Similarly, material received from the principal to the job worker can be classified in an Internal Job Work Godown which will not be available for trading. This gives a clear distinction between self-owned goods and the ones supplied by client. When advance payments have been made, the Work Order-wise reports provide a profit/loss dimension showing how much expense is booked. Inventory movement as well as profits can be determined on these transactions by allocating expenses such as travel of executives, shipping, insurance, salary and other overheads related to the Work Order.
Benefits:
- Real time insight into materials movement and tracking
- Accurate job costing
- Suitable for different complexities –small job worker to larger operations
- Supports accounting allocation (expenses/income)
- Improved productivity and profitability
- Auto fill of raw materials for execution
- Good for just-in-time inventory
- Enhanced logistics management and efficiencies

Pre-Closure Of Orders
Take Control Of Orders – Alter/Edit Purchase Orders On The Fly
 |
The problem of variation in ordered quantity is common enough. Sometimes, delivered quantities are less than the quantity ordered. Or, the purchase manager might want to stop delivery of further goods after having received part of the order. Pre closure of Orders has been provided in Tally.ERP 9 to close pending orders for perfect MIS reports.
Now, pending orders and order cancellation are no longer issues. With Pre Closure of Orders there’s no need to make additional entries to close orders and no necessity of amending existing orders. |
For example, a sales order is made for 100 items and the sales invoice is raised against it with staggered delivery. The first batch of 50 items is delivered, followed by a second of 25. At this stage the buyer decides that he needs only 75 of these items instead of the original quantity of 100. Previously, the seller could not close this deal and the sales order would always be listed under ‘Pending Sales Orders’. Pre Closure of Orders allows such a sales order to be manually closed from the list of ‘Pending Sales Orders’ or from the Voucher, while showing the actual delivery and sale.
Advantages of Pre Closure of Orders include:
- Accurate Pending Order summaries
- Improved system performance as it does not have to calculate outstandings every time it is started up
- Closure of orders possible either from the Voucher or from Reports
- No Order adjustments
- Easier management of material
- Reduced labour and unnecessary handling
- Prevents losses from dead stock
- Easy to use
- Flexible
Bill Settlement from Outstanding (Payable) Report
Uncomplicating Bill Settlement – A Click Away
 |
Finding outstandings was difficult enough. On top of that, one had to make payments exactly when they came due. Then, balancing payments so you did not affect your cash flow further complicated matters. Tally.ERP 9 simplifies things with the Bill Settlement from Outstandings report. It lets you settle multiple pending bills for a party with a single click, even pre-filling the amount in the payment or receipt voucher. |
Benefits:
- Settle multiple bills directly from outstanding reports
- Save time and reduce errors
- Make quick decisions on payments
