To track changes in TallyPrime, you need to use the Edit Log feature. This tool allows you to see who created a transaction, who altered it, and what specific details were changed. 1. Enable the Edit Log

TallyPrime offers two versions: TallyPrime (Edit Log is optional) and TallyPrime Edit Log (Edit Log is permanent for audit compliance). Go to Gateway of Tally > F11 (Features). Set Enable Edit Log to Yes. Save the settings (Ctrl+A). 2. View Log for a Specific Voucher Once enabled, Tally starts recording every "Save" action. Open any voucher (Go to Day Book or Ledger Vouchers). Press Alt+Q (Edit Log) or click More Details > Edit Log.

You will see a list of versions (e.g., Resaved, Altered, Created).

Select a version and press Enter to see the data at that moment. 3. Compare Changes

The most powerful part of the log is seeing exactly what changed between two versions. In the Edit Log screen, select a version. Press F6 (Diff View).

Tally will highlight changed values in Red (old value) and Blue/Green (new value). 4. Check Logs for Masters

You can also track changes to Ledgers, Stock Items, or Groups.

Go to the Alter screen of any Master (e.g., a specific Ledger). Press Alt+Q.

This shows if someone changed a GST number, credit limit, or bank details. 5. View Activities (Deleted Vouchers)

If a voucher is deleted, it disappears from reports but stays in the Edit Log report.

Go to Display More Reports > Analysis & Verification > Edit Log. Select Deleted Vouchers.

This ensures no transaction is removed without a digital trail.
