This is a support tool for those who already maintain their books with tally and now interested in switching to ledger.

  • For now, converts only the daybook from tally.
  • For now, accepts daybook exported in text format.
  • Works with Tally.ERP9.

How to export daybook in text format

  • Open tally
  • Select the company whose daybook needs to be exported.
  • Goto Display -> Daybook
  • Select the period Alt-f2
  • Export Alt-e

Subsequently Tally will show menu page with export options, in which select the following options.

  • Language: Restricted (ASCII only)
  • Format: ASCII (comma delimited)
  • Format: Detailed
  • Show Voucher Numbers also: Yes
  • Show Narrations also: Yes
  • Show Billwise Details also: Yes
  • Show Cost Centre Details also: Yes
  • Show Inventory Details also: Yes
  • Show Bank also: Yes

Note1 We are yet to add support for multi-language support (option Language)

Now build and execute as follows:

$ make install
$ tally2ledger -o <filename>.ldg -text <exporteddaybook>.txt <optional-rewrite>

There is also an undocumented feature called account-rewrite, that can rewrite account names in transaction while generating ledger file.
