Remote Access with Approvals in Tally Prime Gold

Tally Prime Gold is designed for teams working on the same company data across a LAN. But with Tally.NET remote access, you can take it a step further — giving authorized users the ability to view, create, and even approve/reject vouchers from anywhere.

This feature is especially useful for businesses where owners, managers, or finance heads need to authorize transactions prepared by staff, without being physically present in the office.

✅ What Remote Approvals Mean

• Voucher Requests: Staff members create transactions (like purchase orders, sales invoices, or payments) that require approval.
• Remote Manager Access: The approver logs in remotely using a Tally.NET ID.
• Approve / Reject: The manager reviews the pending vouchers and either approves or rejects them instantly.
• Data Sync: Once approved, the voucher is updated in the company books in real-time.

How to Set Up Remote Access with Approvals

Step 1: Enable Tally.NET Services

1. In Tally Prime, go to F11 → Features → Licensing & Tally.NET.
2. Enable “Use Tally.NET Services”.
3. Connect your company to Tally.NET by logging in with your Tally.NET ID (usually your registered email).

Step 2: Configure User Roles & Security

1. Go to Gateway of Tally → Alt + K (Company → Users & Security).
2. Create/modify user roles and assign:
   • Data Entry Operators → Create vouchers but cannot approve.
   • Approvers (Managers/Owners) → Access to approve/reject vouchers.
3. Save and assign users to their roles.

Step 3: Set Up Voucher Approval Flow

1. Go to Gateway of Tally → Alt + G (Go To) → Voucher Type Alteration.
2. For the required voucher types (e.g., Payments, Purchase Orders, Sales Invoices), enable “Use Voucher Approval” → Yes.
3. Define the approval hierarchy (e.g., Finance Manager must approve all payments above ₹50,000).

Step 4: Remote Access in Action

1. Staff creates a voucher → Pending Approval.
2. Approver logs in remotely (any system with Tally Prime + internet, or even via browser access in future Tally releases).
3. Approver goes to Gateway of Tally → Display More Reports → Voucher Approvals.
4. Reviews the pending transactions → Approve or Reject.
5. Once approved, the entry becomes active in books.

 Benefits of Remote Access with Approvals

• Save Time: Approvals happen instantly, no waiting for in-person checks.
• Segregation of Duties: Data entry is handled by junior staff; approvals by managers.
• Better Control: Prevents unauthorized payments or invoices.
• Flexibility: Approvers can manage transactions while traveling or working from a different branch.

 Limitations

• Requires Tally.NET subscription (for remote login).
• Internet connectivity is a must for both office and remote systems.
• Approvals can’t be applied without proper role configuration.

Conclusion

Remote Access with Approvals in Tally Prime Gold ensures that your financial data entry and authorization process stays smooth, controlled, and efficient — even when your approvers are away from the office. It’s an underused feature that can transform how mid-sized businesses maintain accountability.
