  1. Thanks. We are completed your given homework or self study with the help of mentor.

    In a Ledger Master how to identify which is Part, which is Line & which is field? Similarly in a Voucher how to identify all these? Please help.

    1. You need to study the entire default code

      If you want to know about defaults parts and lines in a ledger master then navigate to master.500 here you will find all the Forms/Parts/Lines level definitions while the field level definition are contained in the .fld files like a ledger.fld

      This is what I had explained in the articles.

      Similary for a Voucher, Navigate to Voucher seciton in the Tally IDE

    My code is:

    ;; Anirban
    ;; anb@bhatt@gmail.com
    ;; To add new column in Column Line as a new Field
    [#Line: EI ColumnOne]
    Add: Field: MyExCl
    [Field: MyExCl]
    Use: Name Field
    Set as: “My Extra New Column”
    Color: blue
    Width: 25
    ;; end of the TDL code

    A new column title appears just after Item title, but it is editable during Invoice entry, I want to fix it (can’t be edited) like other Column Title, please help.

    1. I will cover up that in the live project today or today.

      But you can use skip command either at the line or field level

      [Field: MyExCl]
      Use: Name Field
      Set as: “My Extra New Column”
      Color: blue
      Width: 25
      Skip : Yes

    2. I am glad that you covered up so fast everything and I really like your passion learning Tally TDL

      This is what I am looking and expecting from my students. Even If I am slow you guys must go fast, fast 🙂
      I am sure you will become a good programmer soon.

    2. and if you are not getting something then leave that point and keep moving on. you can always come back to that point and by that time you will understand that better. However, still if you face any issue, I am just a ping away. Share the TeamViewer and do let me know what point you are not getting. but the point is don’t stick to something particular because there are multiple ways to do something and there are other chapters also where you will get a more clear concept . Like opening the Tally in the developer mode and find out the default definition. That is the best and the easiest way to find out the default definition.

    [Field: MyExtraColTitle]
    Use: Name Field

    I typed this code and run . but i don’t understand new line. kindly screen shot for output result

    1. Hi,
      Surjit,
      I am not able to understand what do you mean by ” i don’t understand new line.”

      Did you tested the code? Did you checked the output?

        1. SURAJIT SARKAR says:

          Sorry Sir. I see the Column My New Title in Sale Invoice.

  8. Bhabuk Poddar says:

    Sir i m not to find the existing part which is define in tally. Plz help

    1. Hello Bhabuk,
      You wil need to check Tally first where you want to add a line.
      There are always some keywords in Tally
      for e.g in stock item master
      If you study it, you will find out the key words like name, Under, Units, opening balance etc

      once you find out a keyword, you can study below chapter
      https://tallynine.com/module-4/how-to-look-up-the-existing-definition-in-tdl/

      and search those keywords using Control +D in Tally Developer

      For masters the root folder is src/masters/.500 files from which you can get Reports, forms, parts and line definitions

      Please study the article severals times and you will get the idea.
      otherwise, you can message in Zopim chat or in WhatsApp for more information.

  9. Hi Sir
    The structure of default project folders that are shown in my system are different from that shown above. There are around 75 folders starting with “Masters”, it is not like one “Master” folder as shown in above picture. Also, I am not able to see either Ledger.500 or Voucher.500 inside the sub-folders.
    Pl help

    1. Release 6.6.1 TSPL had regrouped and changed the structured of folders and file names are renamed for a better way to arrange files and folders.
      There is nothing to confuse. and now it is more easy to understand.all masters are now under their root folder like Masters/StockItem, Masters/Ledgers

      It is much better now than the earlier way of find out the file name/folders. These things are now more systematically and more easy to find out.

      Please check this chapter The updated video and updated note is at the top of the chapter.
