Why must Masters be imported before Transactions in Tally Prime?

Transactions reference party ledgers, stock items, and tax accounts. If a voucher XML is imported into a company where the required ledgers do not exist, Tally will fail or generate missing master errors in Tally.imp.

How do I export Masters and Vouchers to XML format in Tally Prime?

Open the source company, press Alt+E (Export) > Masters or Transactions, select File Format = XML, choose destination folder, and click Export.

What should I do if Tally XML import fails?

Check the Tally.imp error log file located in your Tally Prime installation folder. It details the exact missing ledger, voucher type, or schema mismatch causing the import failure.
