A typical migration, in 5 steps
01
Take stock of what's in Tally
Companies, FYs, masters (ledgers, parties, items), opening balances and historical voucher volume. We'll map them to QwikBills entities together.
02
Export masters & opening balances
Use Tally's export utility (XML / Excel) to pull ledgers, parties, stock items and opening balances. We provide Excel templates that align with QwikBills imports.
03
Import via QwikBills templates
Bulk import into /settings/imports — ledgers, parties, items (with variants), party opening bills, stock openings. Errors surface row-by-row.
04
Reconcile closing → opening
Match Tally's closing trial balance against QwikBills' opening trial balance. We help you tie the numbers before going live.
05
Cut over & train
Pick a cutover date (typically start of a month). RBAC roles created, GST + e-invoice + e-way bill credentials configured, team trained in 1-2 sessions.
