FAQ & Troubleshooting
Common questions and solutions for AccountManager.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I migrate data from Tally?
Currently, AccountManager does not have a direct Tally import. You can enter opening balances manually via the Chart of Accounts (for ledger balances) and Opening Quantity for stock items. We are building a Tally XML import tool — contact us for status.
How many companies can I have?
Starter: 1 company. Business: 5 companies. Enterprise: Unlimited. Each company has its own separate database file.
Does it work without internet?
Yes — 100% offline. AccountManager uses SQLite for its database, which runs entirely on your local machine. No internet connection is ever required.
Can I use it on multiple PCs?
You can copy the company database file (.db) between computers. For concurrent multi-user access on a LAN, both users need AccountManager installed and the shared database file needs to be on a shared network drive. Full network multi-user mode is planned for a future release.
What happens to my data after the trial ends?
Your data is not deleted. You will not be able to create new vouchers after the trial period — but all existing data is readable. Purchase a license to unlock full functionality again.
The GSTIN I entered says "invalid format" — why?
Indian GSTINs are exactly 15 characters: 2-digit state code + 10-character PAN + 1-character entity code + 1-character Z + 1-character checksum. Check for spaces, typos or wrong case. Lowercase letters are auto-converted to uppercase.
How do I handle advance payments from customers?
Create a Receipt voucher using the customer's ledger and mark the bill allocation type as "Advance". When an invoice is raised later, create another Receipt and use "Against Ref" to settle the advance against the invoice.
