From Import Trial Balance to Review & Issue.

After you add a client and open a financial year, five steps take you from the Trial Balance to issued statements.

1. 1

   Import Trial Balance

   After you add an eligible Non-Corporate Entity and open a financial year, pull the Trial Balance from Tally Prime or upload Excel/CSV. AutoFS checks Dr = Cr before grouping starts.

2. 2

   Group Ledgers

   Accept the suggested Guidance Note heads and review anything ungrouped. Every non-zero ledger waits for a person; groupings carry forward.

3. 3

   Financial Statements

   Prepare the Balance Sheet, Profit & Loss and cash flow from the approved grouping, with comparatives beside the current year.

4. 4

   Notes & Policies

   Review derived schedules, notes and accounting policies. The preparer corrects and concludes instead of re-typing them.

5. 5

   Review & Issue

   Clear review points, lock the year and download Excel or PDF. AutoFS records a user-obtained UDIN; it does not generate or verify UDIN.

Uploading a Trial Balance is the quickest way in and always works — no install required.

• Inside the financial year, choose Upload Trial Balance and select your Excel (.xlsx) or CSV file.
• Each row needs a ledger name and a closing balance; debit and credit columns are both supported.
• AutoFS validates the file on upload and flags rows it cannot read so you can correct them.
• Once accepted, every ledger moves into Group Ledgers.

A sample Trial Balance template is available on the upload screen — start from it if you are exporting from another system.

The Tally Connector pulls the Trial Balance straight from Tally Prime on your own machine, so you skip the export-and-upload step. Uploading a Trial Balance is always available as a fallback.

Set up and pull

1. 1

   Install the Chrome extension

   Install the AutoFS Tally Connector from the Chrome Web Store, on the same computer where Tally Prime runs.

2. 2

   Open AutoFS and log in

   Sign in to AutoFS in the same Chrome profile and follow the connection status shown on the Tally page.

3. 3

   Enable Tally's HTTP server

   In Tally: F1 → Settings → Connectivity → Client/Server Configuration → set "TallyPrime acts as" = Both, Port 9000.

4. 4

   Select the company

   Choose the open Tally company you want to import from.

5. 5

   Pull the Trial Balance

   Trigger the pull from the Tally page — the extension reads directly from Tally and sends it into Group Ledgers.

Troubleshooting

Group Ledgers assigns every Trial Balance ledger to a Guidance Note reporting head. A suggestion is not a conclusion — review every non-zero ledger before preparing statements.

• Auto-suggestions place most ledgers on the right head as soon as the Trial Balance lands.
• Review the ungrouped list — only the ledgers AutoFS could not confidently place need your attention.
• Set client-specific overrides and aliases where a ledger name is unusual.
• Your grouping decisions carry forward to the next financial year and to similar clients, so you group once.

Policies and derived note schedules are part of the pack, not an afterthought.

• Select the accounting policies that apply to the entity from inside the product.
• Tailor the wording where the entity's circumstances call for it.
• Working schedules — combine grouped balances with required client-specific details for capital, PPE, registers and ageing.
• Policies and notes render straight into the generated pack, so revisit them when circumstances change.

When grouping, statement faces, notes and policies are ready, clear review points, lock the year and download Excel or PDF. Always open the file and check it before sharing it onward.

ICAI Guidance Note output for eligible Non-Corporate Entities is Available.

AutoFS uses the controls listed below. Contact us if your team needs a detailed security review.

• Browser-to-API traffic uses HTTPS. The connector talks to Tally through local HTTP loopback on your own computer.
• Role-based access so team members only see what their role allows.
• Tenant-scoped routes that keep each workspace's data isolated.
• Revocable sessions and hashed API keys — credentials are never stored in plain text.
• The Tally connector runs locally on your machine and reads Tally over a constrained command set.

Available features are ready for normal use. Beta and Preview features are still being validated, while Roadmap items are planned but not yet available. Review Beta or Preview output carefully before relying on it for final statements.
