Mellivora vs Tally

Moving on from Tally? Bring your data with you.

Tally is a trusted accounting package. Mellivora ERP is built around the counter, the stock room and your staff — with GST and accounts written as you work. Here is how the two differ, and how to move.

Data Migration

How the move works

  1. 1

    Export from Tally to Excel

    In Tally, open the report or master list you want — ledgers, stock items, vouchers — and export it to Excel.

  2. 2

    Upload it to Mellivora

    In the ERP, open Data Migration and choose the file (.xlsx or .csv). Mellivora suggests which column goes where — it knows the column names Tally exports use.

  3. 3

    Check, then import

    Review the matches and a preview of the rows. Possible duplicates are flagged for you to decide. Then import.

  4. 4

    Undo if needed

    Something not right? An import can be rolled back — except rows you have already used, for example a customer you have since billed.
