Remote Access in TallyPrime

Published on: 21-03-2022

You can securely access your TallyPrime from anywhere to record transactions, or view reports when working from a client’s office, or other remote locations. All you need at the remote location is a TallyPrime installation, and an internet connection. In your office you need to have a valid TallyPrime license, an active TSS, an internet connection, and your company connected to Tally.NET services. Server and remote systems must have the same release of TallyPrime.

Anywhere, Any TallyPrime Installation: You can access your TallyPrime companies from anywhere using even a TallyPrime in Educational Mode, and an internet connection. When your employees are at clients’ locations, they can view the stock availability and commit delivery dates to the clients or check the pending receivables from the clients. This will ensure availability of the latest details at that moment.

Security and Control: You have complete control on who can access your companies, and which features are available to the user. Further, your data will always be in your computer. Whenever a user connects to your company, based on the access permissions you have provided, the user can access the required features. If your employee is at a client’s place and want to print an invoice or purchase order placed by the client, it can be done. However, the employee will not view your financial reports unless you have given the permission. If you want to check your financial reports when you are away from your office, you can use any computer with a TallyPrime installation and view the reports.

Record or Alter Vouchers: The user with the required permissions can create or alter vouchers. If you or your employee meets a supplier, and strike a favourable deal, a purchase order can be raised immediately from your TallyPrime company.

Audit Accounts: You can allow your auditor to do verification of your books using remote access. For this, you just need to allow remote access to your company for the auditor’s Tally.NET ID. Like you or your employees logging in to the company, auditor also can log in and do the work.

Print Reports and Vouchers: Users can open a voucher or report and print it at the remote location. When your employee is at a client’s place to collect receivables, after collection a receipt can be recorded, and a voucher can print for the client.

Easy Setups: Connect your company and allow users to access your company from anywhere. Note that only users with valid Tally.NET IDs are allowed to access your company remotely. Your account ID (e-mail ID used to activate your license) is a valid Tally.NET ID. You can create Tally.NET IDs for users who need to log in to TallyPrime remotely, allow access to these IDs. Similarly, you can allow your accountants or auditor who have their Tally.NET IDs to log in remotely.
