Connecting Tally Prime or Zoho Books

Overview

The Integrations page sends asset bills and depreciation into your accounting software, so you do not have to type them twice. Click Integrations in the sidebar to open it.

Integrations page with the Tally Prime and Zoho Books connection cards and the Send something across section

It works in three steps:

  1. Set up a connection once — to Tally Prime or Zoho Books
  2. Map ledgers — tell Tazk which account in your books each figure belongs to
  3. Send a purchase bill, or a whole year's depreciation
Note: Nothing is ever sent automatically. You press the button each time you want to send something.

Each connection card shows its status at the top right, for example Not connected, and at the bottom Last checked and Last used to send something.

Connecting Tally Prime

Before You Start

  • Tally Prime must be open on the computer that holds your books, with the company loaded.
  • In Tally, switch the gateway on: F1 → Settings → Connectivity → Client/Server configuration, set it to Both, and note the port (9000 by default).
  • That computer must be reachable from the internet — through a fixed IP address, a tunnel, or your office VPN. A plain office broadband connection usually will not work on its own. Ask whoever looks after your network.
  • Type the company name exactly as Tally spells it, including spaces and full stops.

Tally Fields

FieldDescription
Tally addressWhere Tally is listening, including http:// and the port number, for example http://203.0.113.10:9000
Tally company nameThe company inside Tally that these entries belong to, for example ABC Enterprises Pvt Ltd
Wait time (milliseconds)How long to wait for Tally to reply before giving up. 15000 is 15 seconds

Setting It Up

  1. Fill in the three fields
  2. Click Save settings
  3. Click Test connection. This asks Tally for its list of companies. If yours comes back, everything else on the page will work. Nothing is written into Tally by this check
  4. Click Map ledgers and choose the Tally ledger for each figure

Click View log to see what has been sent to Tally.

Connecting Zoho Books

Before You Start

  1. Sign in to the Zoho API console (api-console.zoho.in for India) with the same Zoho account that owns your books
  2. Add a client of type Server-based Applications. Give it any name you like
  3. Paste the Redirect address shown on the card into the client's Authorized Redirect URIs field. It must match exactly — use the copy icon next to it
  4. Copy the Client ID and Client Secret Zoho gives you into the boxes on the card, and save
  5. Press Connect. A Zoho window opens and asks you to allow access — approve it and close the window
  6. Finally, enter the Organisation ID of the Zoho Books company the entries should go into

Zoho Books Fields

FieldDescription
Data centreThe Zoho region your account was created in, for example India (zoho.in)
Organisation IDWhich Zoho Books company to post into. Find it in Zoho Books → Settings → Organisation Profile
Client IDFrom the client you created in the Zoho API console
Client SecretFrom the same client. It is stored encrypted and never shown again
Redirect address to register at ZohoThe address to paste into the Zoho client, character for character
Note: Until you press Connect and approve access, Tazk cannot read or write anything in Zoho Books.

The card's buttons work as for Tally: Save settings, Test connection, Connect, Map ledgers, and View log.

Sending Something Across

The Send something across section sends one bill, or a whole year of depreciation. Use the Tally Prime / Zoho Books switch at the top right to choose where it goes.

Important: If neither connection is working yet, nothing can be sent. Finish the setup in one of the cards above and press Test connection.

Send a Bill

Creates one purchase entry for the bill you pick, using the accounts set in Map ledgers.

  1. In Bill, pick one of your recent bills, or type a bill number to find it
  2. Click Send this bill

Send a Year's Depreciation

Creates one journal entry for the whole year's loss in value, dated 31 March of that year.

  1. Choose the Financial year, for example FY 2026-27. The line below confirms the date, for example 31 March 2027
  2. Click Send this year
Tip: Lock the year on the Year-End Depreciation page before sending it. Otherwise you are asked to confirm that you really mean to send draft figures.
