Repair Company Data
If there any issues in your company data, then it might come in the way of your daily operations and also hinder data activities like backup or split. For such a scenario, TallyPrime comes with a useful tool that will help you recover your data. The Repair feature checks your masters and transactions for any issues, and recovers the data. The percentage of data recovery will depend on the nature of the issue.
- Gateway of Tally > Alt+F3 (Select Company), to open the List of Companies. You can see the status Repair Required against the relevant companies.
Alternatively, you can also repair your data from by pressing F1 (Help) > Troubleshooting > Repair. - Select the company that you want to repair and press Enter. If the company has a username and password, you will be asked to enter the details.
If a Repair Required message appears against the company, then a backup cannot be taken, as the data is corrupt. You will receive a confirmation message to complete the repair.
However, if you select any other company for repair, then you will see the following screen:
- Press C (Configure), if you want to configure the backup options before repairing.
- Pres R (Repair) to continue.
After the repair is complete, your company data is now ready to be used in TallyPrime.
