learn tdl | how to create a new field in Ledger Master ?

Posted on September 6, 2010 by Mahendra • 27 Comments

So, far a great response to our first TDL program its time to go ahead.Before you read this article, you must know how to configure TDL in tally otherwise you will not be able to use the TDL.

Once again I have to remind that TDL is domain specific language and its Tally’s programming language which help you to customize your default tally reporting, menu etc. It is very easy to learn tally but you need to have great hands of practice to learn the same.

There is no book available in the market to learn this programming language!

Below is a programming code which will help to create a new field in your ledger Master creation/alteration mode.

;; user who are interested can learn tally tdl,
;;UDF definition
[System: UDF]
MyUDF: String: 1000

;;Modify Ledger Master entry screen and add a line
[#Part: LEd Other Details]
Add: Line: MyLine

[Line: My Line]
Field: Short Prompt,My Field
Local: Field: Short Prompt: Set as: “City: ”

[Field: My Field]
Use: Short Name Field
Storage: MyUDF

;; End of code

In the above code what we have created is known as UDF (User Defined Functions)

The above code will create a new field namely CITY in your default ledger master

On the same way, you can create any other such UDF you wish so.

The screen shot is as below

Try to create such more UDF yourself. I am always there to help you in case of need.

I want to learn a TDL which can increase the size of declaration given in the sales entry.

Before updating to version 3.1 the stock query in sales entry showed all the last rates sold to that respective party only but now it shows the rate of that item sold to any party.So we cannot find the rate of item sold to entered party???

The way by which you are giving training of TDL is very good.Any person having knowledge of tally can learn TDL

Sir, in release 3 when we change the quantity manufacture in voucher alter after saving production voucher, tally is not changing components.
say for manufacturing item a one we consume item B one pc. We enter production for 500 pcs tally consume 500 item B we save the voucher. After saving we come to know the actual production was 600. When we change the quantity from 500 to 600 tally is not changing the quantity of Item B as 600. It remain 500 and we have to manually change the quantity.

we want TDL so it should change

Kama punj,

I am not sure what are you referring for ?
Are you using the BOM ? if not than you should try for BOM
and once you enter a consumption and payment vocuehr, you have to manually alter the qty if there is difference in product/consumption

Kama punj,
Thanks for your nice feedback

Sir,
I like to add a field in Sales Invoice's Item entry part. Which Part Name I can use for this like [#Part: LEd Other Details]. If there have any list of Existing such Part Names?. Kindly help me.
Dani Josemon

Dani,
It depends on the area of the part which you intend to modify. by this way no one can suggest because in Tally, many times part contains part!
you can see all the part definition, name etc in Detaulf TDL software . Click to Navigate than jump to definition or just press Ctrl +j and Select part in definition type and you will get it

Bharat,
It may cost Rs. 5000.00 No free service.
If interested than Send us your invoice format and the Tally.erp 9 serial number. The TDL will work only with the specified serial number only.

sir,
if deemed sale is accountable under work contracts sale.
there is two type of work contract one is done in state and other is outside.
which % is applicable for both.
and how to calculate the sale tax payable for the same. there is input on purchases but how we will calculate output payable after deductions of inputs.
i think after getting the solution of making work contract sale bills. there will be output vat.
and kindly suggest me should i calculate service tax receipts without making service tax output entry in sale bills.
thanks mahender sir.

Regards Bhavin

Bhavin,
TDL language is complete different. you need to know the perfect coding as the same code applies to different reports and different functions so, just by knowing one or two codes will not help you.
kindly refer the free tdl codes available with the Educational version of Tally.erp 9

Dear sir,
kindly suggest me to account a deemed seller business. there is material sale involved as input in work order.
like we do civil work including material.
i do want to know how to make sale bills for the same. suppose we are giving a running account sale bill to customer for the 30% of the total value of contract. and we will receive the payment after deductions of wct and tds.
please help me.
and let me know that how to make entry of wct deductions and tds (deducted at customer end).
