Cause

When the file name and path specified in Import Transactions screen is incorrect.

Cause

This error occurs when:

  1. You import closing balances from an existing company into a newly created company, but the required Stock Ledger is not available in the new company.
  2. The Stock Ledger is not available in the newly created company.

Resolution

Create the required stock ledgers in the newly created company and enter their closing balances manually. Other masters can be imported successfully.

Cause

The application MS Excel has not been installed in the system.

Resolution

Install MS Excel in the system, since TallyPrime requires MS Excel to carry out the process of exporting in the Excel (Spreadsheet) format. Once the file is exported, it can be opened using other applications like Open Office, Star Office, etc.
