Managing a business is a challenging task, especially with the constant changes in the business world. To keep up, having reliable software is essential. TallyPrime, a household name in business accounting software, has recently released its latest Tallyprime version, Tallyprime 5.1.
With new features that simplify GST compliance, enhance user experience, and boost efficiency, TallyPrime 5.1 is perfect for businesses of all sizes. Whether you’re a small startup or a large enterprise, this update is packed with the tools you need to work smarter, not harder. Here’s everything you need to know about why TallyPrime 5.1 is a must-have for your business.
Tallyprime 5.1 is available in two versions:
- Tallyprime Release 5.1
- Tallyprime Release 5.1 (Edit Log)
The Edit Log version comes with a permanent log (record) of all changes, providing enhanced audit and compliance features.
Let’s dive into what’s new and why upgrading to this version is a must for your business.
New Updates in Tallyprime 5.1 include:
1. GST Management Made Easier
Managing GST compliance has never been easier. TallyPrime 5.1 introduces:
- Bulk B2B to B2C Conversion: With just a single click, transactions that are rejected due to an inactive GSTIN can now be swiftly converted from B2B to B2C.
- Multi-Period GSTR-1 Exports: GSTR-1 returns for multiple periods can now be exported into a single Excel file. This helps streamline your reporting process. For companies with multiple GST registrations can either choose a specific registration or export the returns for all registrations at once.
- Conflict Resolution for GST: Easily identify, resolve, and track discrepancies related to GST in Masters and Transactions. This ensures that the data remains accurate and compliant avoiding errors.
2. Enhanced e-Way Bill Management
With the latest Tallyprime 5.1 release, e-Way bill generation has got a notable upgrade:
- Automatic Distance Calculation for e-Way Bill: The need to manually enter the distance between origin and destination pin codes while generating an e-Way bill is now automated. Tallyprime 5.1 will automatically fetch the distance and print the e-Way bill saving you precious time.
- Accurate e-Way Bill Generation for Export Invoices: Earlier, e-Way bills for export invoices were rejected if the “Ship To” details had a non-Indian state and lacked an Indian port pin code. But now e-Way bills and e-Invoices can be generated by simply selecting a valid Indian state and port pin code.
- Generate e-Way Bills for Material In and Out Vouchers: One can now generate e-Way bills for both Material In and Material Out vouchers. This helps in tracking shipments between the principal and the job worker during the manufacturing process.
These updates make TallyPrime 5.1 a game-changer for businesses navigating complex GST requirements.
3. Enhanced Payroll Compliance
Stay ahead with the latest payroll updates with Tallyprime 5.1 :
- New Tax Regime Updates in Payroll ITeTDS.txt file: With the latest changes to the FVU format, Provident Fund (PF) contributions are now excluded from the export for employees under the New Tax Regime.
- Exclusion of Deductions in the New Tax Regime: Previously, Professional Tax and Chapter VI-A deductions were included in the ITeTDS.txt file, even for employees under the New Tax Regime. Now, as per the latest FVU format, these deductions are no longer included for such employees.
- Updated Payroll Exports: Export salary details and standard deductions directly into the Payroll ITeTDS.txt file for streamlined compliance.
4. Improved Voucher and HSN/SAC Management
The latest version of Tallyprime 5.1 also offers enhanced flexibility in managing vouchers and HSN/SAC summaries:
