Instead of manual entry, this system allows you to:

Let’s understand how this software actually works behind the scenes.
What is Excel to Tally Mapping?
Excel to Tally mapping is a process where
- Excel columns (like Date, Invoice No, GST, Amount)

👉 Once mapping is done, the software automatically converts Excel data into Tally vouchers.

Step 2: Map Basic Fields
You connect Excel columns to Tally fields like the following:
