DOCUMENTATION: TALLY INTEGRATION SERVICE

---

 1. Introduction

1. Purpose

   - To outline the process of integrating data from DMS, ERPS or similar third-party software into Tally Prime using our Tally Integration Service.

   - To highlight key steps, best practices, security policies, and reference documentation for users and administrators.

2. Scope

   - This documentation caters to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, including business owners, accountants, and IT teams who need guidance on setting up, using, or troubleshooting the Tally integration.

3. Terminology

   - DMS, ERPS: A third-party ERP system that manages various business processes and stores data.

   - Tally Prime: The accounting software platform that the data will be integrated into.

   - Integration Service: The middleware or connector that facilitates the data import/export process.

 2. Overview of Tally Integration Process

1. Data Flow

   - The integration service extracts data (e.g., transactions, inventory, masters) from DMS ERPS.

   - The service reformats this data to match Tally Prime’s data structure.

   - The data is then securely transmitted and imported into Tally Prime.

2. System Requirements

   - Software: Updated Tally Prime with valid licensing and any required developer tools.

   - Connectivity: Stable network or internet connection if using web-based APIs.

   - Credentials: Valid user credentials for both Tally Prime and DMS ERPS with proper permissions.

3. Prerequisites

   - Valid License: Both DMS ERPS and Tally Prime licenses must be active.

   - Technical Expertise: Basic knowledge of Tally data formats (e.g., Vouchers, Masters, Ledgers) and DMS ERPS data fields.

   - Security Clearance: Compliance with the Software Security Policy (see Section 4).

   - Logs are regularly reviewed for suspicious activities or anomalies.

4. Incident Response

   - A defined process for investigating and containing security incidents.

   - Transparent communication with stakeholders in case of data breaches.

5. Compliance & Regulatory Standards

   - Alignment with relevant data protection laws (e.g., GDPR).
