Error Occurrence during Migration
Error Occurrence during Migration of Masters
If an error occurs during the migration of Masters, the migration process stops immediately and an importerror.log file is created in the folder where the tally72migration. exe resides.
The XML tags of those masters, which did not migrate, appear in the importerror.log file.
Error Occurrence during Migration of Transactions
If an error occurs during the migration of transactions, the migration continues and the XML tags of those transactions, which did not migrate, appear in an importerror.log file.
Rectify the transactions and copy the XML tags into a file with an .XML extension. Now, import the .XML file to Tally 9.
Note: As manually importing transactions create new Alter IDs, you have to create or alter these transactions again after Synchronization.
