03 / Importing it
Importing the IIF file.
QuickBooks Desktop
- Back up your company file first: IIF changes the books directly.
- File, then Utilities, then Import, then IIF Files, and pick the file. If QuickBooks offers to review it first, let it.
- Import each file once: IIF has no duplicate check.
04 / The Tally XML file
Getting a Tally XML file.
TallyPrime’s and Tally.ERP 9’s exchange format. Each voucher has ledger lines that balance: a debit is written as a negative amount.
- TallyPrime: open the Day Book (or the bank ledger’s vouchers), press Alt+E (Export), set Format to XML (Data Interchange), then Export.
Have a bank statement PDF instead? The bank statement converter reads it in your browser too.
05 / Good to know
The details that matter.
- Export from TallyPrime as XML (Data Interchange). You pick the ledger: bank ledgers come first. Cancelled and optional vouchers are left out, and Tally’s UTF-16 files are read as they are.
- QuickBooks creates any account it doesn’t know as a new bank account, so the two account names must match your chart of accounts exactly. Payee names go at the start of the memo, so QuickBooks’ name lists stay tidy.
06 / Questions
Straight answers.
Is this Tally XML to IIF converter free?
Yes, for 2 files a day with no account. A free account (just your email, no password) gives you 2 more, and paid plans have no daily limit. It runs in your browser, and nothing is stored.
Is my Tally XML file uploaded anywhere?
No. The file is read and the IIF file is written by code running in this browser tab. Neither is sent to a server. You can check: open your browser’s developer tools, go to the Network tab, and convert a file.
Will importing twice create duplicates in QuickBooks Desktop?
Yes: IIF has no duplicate check, so import each file once. Back up your company file first.
Which ledger becomes the account?
The bank ledger: ledgers with bank details come first, then any ledger on the bank or cash side of payments and receipts. You can pick another in the panel.
Does it work for credit cards?
Yes. You can also set the account type to Credit card in the panel, and the IIF file is written as a card account (charges and refunds).
