Frequently Asked Questions About Switching from Tally
Everything you need to know about switching your accounting to the cloud.
Can I migrate my existing Tally data to ABSS without losing history?
Yes! ABSS has a dedicated Tally data migration utility. You can export your Master Data (Ledgers, Groups, Items, Opening Balances) and historical transactions from Tally into XML or Excel format and import them directly into ABSS. Our technical support team assists you throughout the migration at zero extra cost.
Can my Chartered Accountant (CA) still access and audit my books on ABSS?
Absolutely. With ABSS, you can invite your CA or external auditor as a dedicated Accountant User. They can log in from anywhere in the world, view the balance sheet, general ledger, and P&L, make manual journal adjustments, and export reports without ever having to come to your office.
Do I need to maintain a local office server or run remote desktop software?
No. Unlike Tally which requires a dedicated office server PC or third-party cloud hosting (RDP) to work remotely, ABSS is 100% cloud-native. You and your team just log in from any web browser (Chrome, Safari, Edge) on your laptops, tablets, or phones.
Does ABSS support official GST E-Invoicing and E-Way Bill generation?
Yes. ABSS connects directly to the Indian GSTN/NIC E-Invoice and E-Way Bill APIs. You can generate Government IRNs with embedded QR codes and Part A/B E-Way bills in one single click directly from the invoice creation screen.
