The server version of Tally must be installed on the server computer and client version on the client computer, before proceeding.
Note: Synchronization can be initiated only by the client.
Direct Synchronization between Client and Server
Direct Synchronization can be between two different entities/organizations or between the head-office and branches of an organization.
Assume that ABC Company maintains your accounts. You can Transfer data from your company to ABC Company using Direct Sync, provided ABC Company has a server version of Tally installed and can connect over a network. Other clients of ABC Company can also connect and transfer their Tally data. Here, ABC Company is the server and other entities that are synchronizing their data, are clients.
Direct Synchronization can also be implemented between the Head Office and Branches of an Organization. Thus, when synchronizing between the Head office and Branches, the Head office must have a server version of Tally installed and connect over a network to the Branches. The Branches must have client versions of Tally installed.
