Migrate to TallyPrime
TallyPrime comes with a reliable tool to migrate your existing company data and make it compatible. TallyPrime is a significant upgrade to your Tally experience, and therefore it is essential for you to convert your data.
TallyPrime will detect your data from earlier releases (Tally.ERP 9 to TallyPrime), and guide you in the migration process. All your transactions, along with your company features, masters, security settings, and so on, will be carried forward seamlessly.
In TallyPrime, you can migrate a company by selecting a company from the earlier TallyPrime release or Alt+Y (Data) and select the company to Migrate.
- Press Alt+F3(Select Company) to open the List of Companies.
You can see the status Migration Required against the companies which are on a lower release.
Alternatively, you can also migrate your data from by pressing …
- F1(Help) > Troubleshooting > Migrate.
Select the company that you want to migrate and press Enter. If the company has a username and password, you will be asked to enter the details.
- Press R(Migrate) to continue. If you want to alter the backup path and data location before migrating, then press C (Configure).
After migration is complete, your company data is ready to be used in TallyPrime-3.
A summary of the migration is displayed with before and after migration statistics, as all the masters and vouchers are safely migrated with or without any data exception
The company data in the latest release of TallyPrime will be available as a 6-digit company number. For your easy reference the, the company number of the source data is prefixed with a zero (0) so that you can easily identify which company was migrated. In addition, the 5-digit source company is retained in the same data location and renamed as a folder.
For example, if you migrate the company National Enterprises (10000) to TallyPrime Release 3.0, the migrated company data is numbered as National Enterprises (010000), and the source company is retained but renamed as ‘10000-migrated-to-3.0’.
If there are any issues in the company data, it is recommended that you repair the data before migrating.
