Recycle Bin for Tally 7.2, Tally 9 and Tally ERP 9 Users

Friends,

Now a days Tally is being by most of us. In Tally while doing work sometimes we delete some files by error. Some times we want to create a shortcut for a file and clicks "delete button" and delete that Bill. In the Operating System of Windows we are using there is a Recycle Bin folder where files deleted from Operating System are stored for temporary phase which could be recovered. Now in Tally you can also use this feature by retrieving any voucher deleted accidentally by the user. 

The main features of Recycle Bin : 

• Recycle bin is a FREE add-on utility for Tally Software.
• Recycle bin allows you to retrieve records that you may have accidentally deleted in Tally Accounting Software.
• It is similar to Windows Recycle-bin which allows you to recover the deleted files.
• Recycle bin works with Tally ERP 9, Tally 9 and Tally 7.2.

How to install and use it ? To use the Recycle bin utility, you need to make certain changes in your Tally.ini file which are given Underneath.

• Download the Recycle bin for Tally TCP files (zip)
• Copy the file according to your Tally version. i.e.
• If you are using Tally ERP 9, then copy rbin9-erp.tcp into the Tally folder or;
• If you are using Tally 9, then copy rbin9v.tcp into the Tally folder or;
• If you are using Tally 7.2, then copy rbin.tcp into your Tally folder
• Open Tally.ini(configuration file) file and make the changes as shown below :-

For Tally ERP 9 users

User TDL=Yes

tdl=c:\tally\rbin9-erp.tcp( address where you have placed this file)

For Tally 9 users

User TDL=Yes

tdl=c:\tally\rbin9v.tcp( address where you have placed this file)

For Tally 7.2 users

User TDL=Yes

tdl=c:\tally\rbin.tcp( address where you have placed this file)

Save the file and start Tally. You would see extra option of Recycle Bin.(shown in the picture )

After this, when you delete any voucher in Tally; it is still available in the Recycle bin and you can restore it back; if required.or you can delete the same from recycle bin also by using Alt+D from the recycle bin also.

How It is Done

Change the default functionality for the key Alt+D which is used to delete Vouchers. Instead of deleting the Voucher, we now do the following :-

a) Mark the Voucher as Optional. 

b) Set the UDF-field 'fldDeleted' to Yes.

This takes care of the following:-

1. Marking the Voucher as Optional ensures that the Voucher is not reflected in any books of Accounts.
2. The UDF-field 'fldDeleted' is used in the reports (Daybook; Ledger Voucher) to filter out records where the field 'fldDeleted' is set to No.
3. The same UDF-field 'fldDeleted' is used in the report 'Rpt Deleted Vouchers' as shown in Step-1. This report displays only those records where the UDF-field 'fldDeleted' is set as Yes.

That's All. 

How To Un Install this Utility

I hope that no body wants to uninstall such a good utility but any how if you want to uninstall it then you should do follow steps.

• Delete all the vouchers from recycle bin one by one by using Alt+D .(if there is no voucher in recycle bin then go to step 2)
• Delete the file copied in tally folder at the time of installation of the program as suggest above.
• Alter .ini (configuration) file again and delete the line added at the time of install.
