Limitations in Tally

 Tally is like a software you buy from a super market or grocery

shop. Read the instructions and use. Nothing can be done by a
user. The way tally gives the way we should go. Sofware should be
which would suit all the management and financial reports
customized to the companies needs. A full completed software in
all aspects.
 JV cannot be amended once made.
 Security is not there.
 Cannot have alerts if credit limit exceeds for any customer. No pop
ups or message by the software.
 Invoicing:
o Batchwise Control not there.
o Piecewise invoicing cannot be done.
o Most importantly two invoices for the same supply can be
generated without authorization thus the same order can be
delivered twice. Huge stock loss.

 In Tally.ERP 9, you can not maintain your payroll record

separately like tally 9 because , Tally solution company has not
provided payroll info and payroll voucher button in Tally.ERP 9 . It
means now, you will follow simple procedure for recording of salaries
and wages same as you were using in tally 7.2 or old version of tally.
All salary related transactions will be recorded in Accounting
vouchers and it will surely remove all doubts relating to payroll which
were created when you were using tally 9 but also downside is that
who is using payroll in tally 9 will more difficult to convert it in
Tally.ERP 9 .
 Reorder quantity for the stock cannot be set.
 Last price enquiries and pricing issues like supplying different
customers at different prices is a complex task.
 Tally 9’s making and maintain system of budgeting is not so
advance. There is no provision of capital budgeting in tally 9 with
different methods of capital budgeting.
 Tally does not provide one button of default setting of this
software. I explain this demerit as suppose a new customer purchased
tally for maintaining accounts on it and he has changed some setting
of features and configuration after this , if his accountant found
something wrong in tally , there is no one button to correct it because
without deleting ledger and voucher.

 Tally support system is no so effective. There is still need to improve

to the support system of tally. No training at all
 If the password lost in tally the data retrieval is very difficult and
time consuming
 Crash of one main server ends the story of the organization.
 Even senior accountants, if they do not know how to operate, they can
also mistake in maintaining of accounts in tally not only these
mistakes are hard to identify and solve.
 Tally is a Standalone Application
 Tally is not a robotics and integrated application cannot be
integrated with any software this means it is so static that nothing
can be done to improve it.
 Tally is not Modular Application
 It is not a Real Time Application
 Tally is not a Multi Org Architecture Application
 Tally is a tool to record your accounting details only debit and
credit.
 Tally is not integrated with any other applications.
 Tally is not modularized like GL, purchasing, AP, AR, order
management etc as any ERP application.
 Tally has limited reporting capabilities.
 Tally is not a web based application.
 The biggest disadvantage will also be when you try to make
adjustments for VAT In FBT, VAT, Service TAX, etc., to capture
the values in the respective Returns the entries should be as per
the prescribed format or entry only.
 If VAT Classification is not selected while passing Sales or Purchase
entries, the same will not get reflected in VAT computation and
Returns
