Many Morbi exporters began as traders with Tally and a documentation clerk. As container volumes grow, the gap between what Tally records and what the business needs to know widens: container-wise profit, incentive claims, buyer-wise outstanding in foreign currency.

01

What exporters need beyond accounts

Proforma to shipmentBuyer order, production or purchase, inspection, stuffing, shipping
DocumentsInvoice, packing list, shipping bill data, certificate of origin, bill of lading
Container costingProduct, freight, clearing, insurance and commission per container
Foreign currencyReceivables, bank realisation and exchange difference
IncentivesDuty drawback and other schemes tracked to receipt
Buyer and agent accountsCommission and claims
02

Keep Tally where it works

Your chartered accountant likely wants Tally for books and returns. The ERP can post sales, purchase and bank entries to Tally automatically, so there is one entry and no retyping.
