A comprehensive guide of what TallyPrime 3.0 has to offer -
GST :You can now maintain a single company and add multiple GST numbers in it. Many users wanted this feature as it makes reporting easier and more comprehensive. This feature will now help B2B businesses to maintain data from multiple branches in different states having multiple GSTNs of a business in a single Tally company. TallyPrime ensures that your GST Return reports are automatically updated based on the values specified in your transactions, eliminating the need to create Journal Vouchers for raising Tax Liability and claiming Input Tax Credit. However, if you prefer to follow the process of recording Journal Vouchers, the software provides you with the flexibility to do so. Additionally, TallyPrime offers seamless reconciliation of transactions between GSTR-1, GSTR-2A, and GSTR-2B. With its user-friendly interface, you can easily reconcile and match data from these GST forms. In case of any mismatches or discrepancies in GST details, the software allows you to reset the GST-related data. This feature enables you to erase the GST data imported from the GST portal for reconciliation purposes. Once the data is reset, you can re-enter the correct values to match with the GST portal data. Afterward, you can re-import the updated portal data into TallyPrime, facilitating a smooth reconciliation process. This capability ensures that your GST-related transactions are accurately reflected and reconciled, providing you with peace of mind and compliance with GST regulations.
Payment Request :You can now share payment request links/QR codes from Tally easily by using the Payment request feature in TallyPrime 3.0. This feature can be enabled by going to the Merchant Profile by pressing the F11. Now go to the 'Show more features and set up the 'Enable Payment Feature'. Now fill up all the required details and save it. Once you have completed the detailed set-up, you will get a prompt after saving any transaction to send out the payment link. You can either select 'yes' or 'No' depending on whether you want to send it or not.
Data Exchange and Management :
-
Every company will show a status stating whether it needs to be migrated or not
-
You can track the whole migration process as it shows the status of the process like - verification of masters and , migration, repair of your data, etc.

Reset GSTN Data :When you import GSTN data there are chances of data corruption of some files being mismatched during the reconciliation. To solve this issue TallyPrime 3.0 now gives you the option to reset the corrupted data keeping your book data intact. Thus you can reset and re-import the data from the GST portal and continue the reconciliation process thereafter.
