PDF to Tally workflow

Turn PDF records into Tally-ready entries.

Harp extracts structured fields from invoices, statements, and recurring business documents, gives your team a review step, then generates Tally XML or sends approved vouchers to a connected Tally company.

How it works

From PDF to Tally in a controlled handoff.

Harp handles the repetitive document layer. Your team keeps the mapping, review, and accounting decision in view.

01

Choose the document model

Start with an invoice, statement, or recurring record and define the fields Tally needs.

02

Process the PDF batch

Drop files into a watched folder or run them through the desktop app.

03

Map and review

Check dates, amounts, ledgers, tax fields, and low-confidence values before export.

04

Export or post

Generate Tally XML or post approved vouchers to the connected local Tally gateway.

What Harp prepares

Use the fields your accounting workflow already depends on. Harp keeps the source file and extracted context close to the review step.

Common questions

What to know before you try PDF to Tally.

A practical starting point for teams moving recurring documents into Tally.

Can Harp convert a PDF directly into Tally?

Harp can generate Tally XML from structured extraction templates, and the desktop app can post reviewed document vouchers to a connected Tally XML gateway. The exact voucher and fields depend on the template and the document type.

Which PDF files work best?

Clear, complete PDFs and readable scans are the best starting point. Harp can process changing layouts, but a password-protected, cropped, or very low-quality file may need to be fixed before extraction.

Do I still need to review the entries?

Yes. Harp removes repetitive document entry; it does not replace accounting judgment. Review dates, amounts, ledgers, tax fields, and exceptions before exporting or posting to Tally.

Do I need to rebuild my Tally company?

No. Harp is designed to connect to the Tally company and ledgers you already use. Sync the relevant ledger masters, map the extracted fields, and keep your existing accounting workflow.

Can I use Excel instead of Tally XML?

Yes. Tally is one output path. Harp can also deliver XLSX, CSV, and JSON when your next step is reconciliation, review, or another system.
