# Connect Tally Prime

## Connect Tally Prime with FinlyticZ

This guide shows you how to configure Tally Prime to work with the FinlyticZ Connector for real-time data sync.

### Prerequisites

* Tally Prime installed and running on your PC
* FinlyticZ Connector installed (Setup Guide)
* Admin access to Tally Prime

### Step 1: Open Tally Prime

1. Launch **Tally Prime** on your PC
2. Open the company you want to sync with FinlyticZ

### Step 2: Enable Tally Prime as Server

1. Press **F1** (Help) > **Settings** or go to **F12 (Configure)**
2. Navigate to **Connectivity** settings
3. Set the following:
   * **Act as Server:** `Yes`
   * **Port Number:** `9000` (default)
   * **Allow Remote Access:** `Yes` (if connecting from another machine)

> **Important:** The port number here must match the port configured in the FinlyticZ Connector (default: 9000).

### Step 3: Save Configuration

1. Press **Ctrl + A** to accept and save
2. Tally Prime will now listen for incoming connections on port 9000

### Step 4: Verify the Connection

1. Open **FinlyticZ Connect** on the same PC (or the network)
2. Go to **Tally Setup** from the left sidebar
3. Set:
   * **Host:** `localhost` (same PC) or the IP address of the Tally PC
   * **Port:** `9000`
4. Click **Test and Save Config**
5. You should see a **"Connection successful"** message

### Step 5: Add Company and Sync

1. Navigate to **Companies** in the Connector
2. Your Tally Prime company will appear under **"Tally Companies (Available for Sync)"**
3. Click on the company to add it
4. Go to **Dashboard** and click **Run Sync Now**
5. Data will begin syncing — you can monitor progress in real-time

### Connecting Tally Prime on a Different PC (Network Setup)

If Tally Prime is running on a **different PC** than the Connector:

1. Find the IP address of the Tally PC:
   * Open **Command Prompt** on the Tally PC
   * Type `ipconfig` and note the **IPv4 Address** (e.g., `192.168.1.100`)
2. In the FinlyticZ Connector:
   * Set **Host:** to the Tally PC's IP (e.g., `192.168.1.100`)
   * Set **Port:** `9000`
3. Ensure both PCs are on the **same network**
4. Make sure the **firewall** on the Tally PC allows port 9000

### Important Notes

* Tally Prime must be **running** for the Connector to sync
* The Connector uses **Tally's XML API** (HTTP) — not ODBC
* Both Tally Prime and Tally ERP 9 use the same XML protocol, so the Connector works seamlessly with both
* Multi-company support: You can add multiple Tally companies from the Companies screen

### Troubleshooting

| Issue                       | Solution                                                                             |
| --------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| "Connection failed" on test | Verify Tally Prime is running and port 9000 is configured                            |
| Company not detected        | Ensure "Act as Server" is enabled in Tally Prime settings                            |
| Network connection issues   | Check that both PCs are on the same network and port 9000 is not blocked by firewall |
| Sync stalls or errors       | Check **Sync Jobs** in the Connector for error details                               |
