Sir i would like to have Percentage fields in pricelist so that it could automatically calculate rate according to percentage given by taking MRP value and VAT from the stock item which we are entering at the time of creation of stock
e.g : Name: Bleach MRP: 120/- VAT : 14.5%
so if we enter 20 in percentage field the rate in pricelist should display 83.84
i.e 120/- * 20% = 96/- the 96/- divide by 1.145 = 83.84

Dear sir Mahendra,
I am using Tally 9 ver2.14, for printing Invoices.
The option of “Stop printing vertical lines/borders” doesn’t seem to work. I have a dot matrix printer and I need this option to be set to YES. However the final print has vertical lines in it. Is there a correction patch to this bug?
Please help. (I prefer the neat mode, as the dot matrix mode does not have the desired appearance of Invoice)
Thank you very much
Dear Sir, I m from Bangladesh.
A problem in tally 9 i face. There is no opening balance in group summary for Income or Expense group, But it is ok for Asset or Liabilities group. How to solve it sir. Another thing, may I have a tdl for displaying and printing opening balance in Cash Flow.

I am not getting you! In accountancy Income/Expenses can’t have closing balance and so they can’t have opening balances too!

Dear Mr. Mahendra Rana,
It seems you are an expert in TDL. I am a Tally ERP 9 users and I am retired now because of my health. So what I do is helping my country men how to run business and the most important is knowing what is our work results daily. I usually recommend them to use Tally ERP 9. I actually been involved with Tally since the first time it came out.
So, now I work from my home, basically in bed to help people to train and install Tally,
I just realized that Tally is using a special language which is TDL9.
Do you know is there a TDL 9 online training. I would like to learn the TDL so I can be able to help my client (which is usually on probono basis), to modify Tally to suit their needs.
Since I can not travel anywhere only to Singapoore to my Oncologyst and Pain Management Specialist, of course I can not go to any training courses and sit for 8 hours, I will collapse.
Could you help me whether there is some body that trustable and can teach me through Skype the TDL programming.? It is like a special tutor for me. Of course I would not mind to give reasonable Remuneration for it. I am not rich, both my husband and I are basically ill. My husband had Osteoporotic he just broke 6 spines and operated, both of us are in wheel chair. Most of the time I work in my bed not sitting up but ___/ 135 degree, as I am in pain most of the time. it is a long story.
If you can not find such on line course, would you tutor me please. My name is Mira Hassan, 55 years old living in Jakarta, Indonesia.
Thank you for your kind attention
Hello Mira Hasan,
Thank you for comment. I am impressed with your learning desire. Unfortunately, there is no online tally tutorial is available and no developer will teach it online to the best of my knowledge. However, I will ask some of my known sources but chances are less because they can’t find enough time to teach it as they themselves runs short of time in offering the solutions.
If you are interested to learn the basic Tally TDL then I can offer you the coaching but I won’t be able to offer you extensive training.
My skype id is mahendrasinh.rana
help me
R/sir Thanks for taking stand for us in TDL

Sorry, That drop box facility is only for registered students.
I am interested in learning TDL Programming. But I would like to go through few trial tutorial before I enrol for paid tutorial. Would like to invest if I find myself motivated. Thanks
Hello Sumit,
Sorry we are not looking for people who wanted to invest
I suggest you not to join the course it won’t give you a so called “return”
I want and welcome only those students who have a passion to learn something new and not those who want to make an investment.

Hi Mr. Mahenra
This is Bimal Patel
i am interested in tally developer 9, and learn so many thing in tally by Youtube video. but its regarding how to clear tally errors. I have a knowledge of programming of VB, Oracle and other but do i need tally developer 9 software to learn or create TDL. if yes then how do i get free download and from which sites. is there any book or any online classis where i can learn TDL programming.
Subject: Item Allocation.
Creation of Bale Nos in Item Allocation and retrieving the same in Main sales Voucher.
The Five lessons were simply superb. Step by step approach.
The author has indicated the Probable mistake the student would commit and he has given the solution.
I Think no other platform in India would teach like this.
Even the Tally solutions would not do so.
I thank Mr.Mahendra for doing this wonderful service.
I have learnt a lot of thins in TDL Through Him.
It is only through him I think we can become a complete TDL Programmer.
Hello Giridharan,
Thanks a lot for your kind feedback and I am glad that the course is useful to you. You will learn a lot of things
please save
Sir,
I went Through You Module On negative Stock Blocking Playing with Field.
Wonderful teaching with precise explanation.
After your Lesson I understood the Following.
1. Since we are in the sales Voucher Creation and we want to Block the Negative Stock
We Found out the field as VCH Batch Billed Qty.
But In that Default Field We find only 2 switch statement one for Stock journal and other for Not Stock Journal.
So We have to search In Not for Stock Journal.
We get the optional field VCH Batch NrmlQty which we have to modify
In that field We have Notify Negative Stock Which has global Formula or system formula ” Negative stock format”.
So We can create our own system formula and substitute the same for ” Negative Stock format.
If we use the Notify and Control with same expression Notification will appear and the cursor will not move any more since control is used.
Very good lesson learnt.
With your teaching and guidance we can move further, understand more in TDL.
.
Hats off to you Sir
perfect and I am glad that you really like it.
your feedback is very important and it encourages me to go further with a more deeper interest
unfortunately very few students like you who are so passionate and encouraging.
Thanks again for the loving feedback.

Unfortunately, I do not offer any ready made a ready solutions this way to anyone. Not even to my paid Students.
Instead I offer a way where they learn how to get the solutions on their own.
So, I am sorry in this regard.
