Tally imports vouchers from a plain XML file, and the structure trips everyone up the first time — particularly the sign convention and the two different ledger-entry collections. Here is what the file looks like, what each tag is for, and the two mistakes that make Tally reject an import.

Clean Receipt, Payment, Sales, Purchase and Journal vouchers land in TallyPrime / Tally.ERP 9 through the secure connector.
Almost always the sign convention. In Tally XML a debit is a NEGATIVE AMOUNT with ISDEEMEDPOSITIVE=Yes, and a credit is positive. A voucher whose AMOUNTs do not sum to zero is rejected. The other common cause is putting an invoice's lines in ALLLEDGERENTRIES.LIST — an invoice reads LEDGERENTRIES.LIST, so Tally sees a voucher with no entries at all.
ALLLEDGERENTRIES.LIST belongs to the accounting-voucher object (OBJVIEW="Accounting Voucher View"). LEDGERENTRIES.LIST belongs to the invoice object (ISINVOICE=Yes, OBJVIEW="Invoice Voucher View"). Use the one that matches the view, or the entries are silently ignored.
VOUCHERNUMBER inside the VOUCHER element. If the voucher type uses automatic numbering Tally may assign its own instead. For sales and purchases the invoice number from the source document is usually what you want.
No. SVCURRENTCOMPANY in the request header names the company, and the whole file imports into it. Export one file per company.
No — that is what LedgerSync is for. Upload the statement, invoice register or GST file, check the mapping, and download a ready Tally XML. The sample below is what comes out.
