Significance of Tags

Following are some significant tags that are required for requesting any info from Tally.ERP 9. The tags are divided into two categories:

● Header Tags

● Body Tags

Header Tags

Header tags are enclosed with the tag <HEADER> and </HEADER>. These tag gives all the header information.

<VERSION>

It gives the version of the messaging format. The tag <VERSION> is a mandatory tag which is used in Header tags.

<TALLYREQUEST>

TALLYREQUEST tag specifies the type of request. This tag is vital as it determines the response required. The permissible values for this tag are Import, Export and Execute. This value further determines the range of values required for this tag.

Import

Import is specified when we want Tally to import data from the XML fragment to Tally. i.e Tally validates and saves the data. A request is made to Import Data or File which can be specified within the subsequent tags.

Export

Export is specified when we want to retrieve data from Tally. A request is made to Export Data, Collection, Object, Function, etc. which is specified within the tag <TYPE>.

Execute

Execute is specified when we want to execute some TDL actions in Tally.ERP 9. Here the request is made to Execute TDL Action which can be specified within the <TYPE> tag.

The following table describes the value of <TALLYREQUEST> tag.
