Hi everybody

After a long time, I am trying to be on the blog, been pretty bad due to my health reasons, been busy with lot of new customers, in short business has been good! ;-). There have been tonnes of things that I want to share with you guys and the Tally community.

Let me start with the new features of Tally ERP Build 201. I know most of the users are using Build 189 right now, this new build has much awaited features in the TDS area. I am putting the list together for your reference.

Excise

• In case of purchases from dealers, the assessable value can be manually specified
• Partial CENVAT can be availed via a Journal Voucher
• The duty rate can be set to be effective from a specified date
• The same item can be specified multiple times in all transactions
• With numbering set to ‘manual’ for excise transactions, Import & Synchronisation will no
   longer throw errors

TDS

   enabled for TDS

   date is enabled (and Mfg Date is not enabled) with opening balance present. This has been
   fixed

   Mfg/Expiry date. This has been fixed
