Busy Accounting → TallyPrime Migration
Busy Accounting and TallyPrime share similar Indian accounting DNA — groups, ledgers, vouchers, GST — which makes the migration smoother than cross-paradigm moves. ERPPlugs reads your Busy data file, maps groups and ledgers to Tally's hierarchy, imports vouchers with correct GST treatment, and sets opening balances. Your CA can verify the trial balance before cutover.
ERPPlugs migrates data from Busy Accounting to TallyPrime — account groups, customer and vendor masters, item masters with stock, GST ledger mappings, open invoices, and optionally historical vouchers. Typical migrations complete in 2–4 business days since both systems use similar Indian accounting conventions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most Busy to Tally migrations complete in 2–4 business days. Both systems follow Indian accounting conventions (groups, ledgers, vouchers, GST), so the mapping is more straightforward than cross-paradigm migrations.
No. Your GSTIN and past filings are on the GST portal, independent of your accounting software. ERPPlugs ensures GST ledger mappings in Tally match your existing setup so GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B generation works correctly from day one.
Yes. ERPPlugs provides a trial balance comparison — Busy vs Tally — as part of the parallel-run validation. Your CA can verify ledger balances, outstanding receivables/payables, and stock values before you commit to the cutover.
