SysOMS vs tally plus excel
Tally knows what you billed. Not what you promised.
Tally with Excel is the standard Indian plant setup and it is very good at what it does: billing, ledgers, outstanding and GST. It has no view of enquiries, follow-ups, approved rates or committed dates, because those all happen before an invoice exists.
In short

Honest reading
What tally plus excel keeps and drops.
Keeps
- Every accountant in India already knows Tally.
- Statutory filing and audit are straightforward.
- Excel handles any one-off analysis.
Where it stops
- Nothing before the invoice is recorded anywhere reliable.
- Quotation files multiply and nobody knows the current one.
- Sales cannot see order progress without calling the plant.
When it is the right choice
Keep Tally. It should stay exactly where it is. The question is only whether the two months of activity before an invoice deserve the same discipline as the invoice itself.

Fair questions
What owners ask here.
Do we have to replace Tally?
No, and you should not. SysOMS deliberately stops before accounting and hands Tally a clean, approved, dispatch-ready order.
Can sales see who has outstanding dues?
Yes, as a read-only view, so a salesperson knows before committing a further supply to an overdue account.
Who enters data twice?
Nobody. The order and dispatch detail your accounts team needs comes from what sales and dispatch already recorded.
