Import of data helps to read and make use of the data generated in Tally or in any another application. In Tally.ERP 9, you can import data in XML/SDF format from earlier versions of Tally.ERP 9 or from any-third party application. The .xml file that is imported must follow the Tally.ERP 9 schema.
To import data
1. Go to Gateway of Tally > Import of Data > Masters.
2. Enter the name of the .xml file to be imported. The file should be present in the Tally.ERP 9 application folder.
3. Select the required Behaviour in the Treatment of entries already existing field.
4. Press Enter to import.
Note: To import data from Tally 6.3/7.2, select SDF format. The SDF format utility can be downloaded from the Tally website.
