How to Enable TallyPrime HTTP Server on Port 9000
Before physical RFID readers or edge gateways can post inventory vouchers, TallyPrime must be configured to accept incoming HTTP requests on port 9000:
Open Connectivity Settings
In TallyPrime, press F1 (Help) → Select Settings → Select Connectivity.
Configure Server Port
Under Client/Server configuration, set TallyPrime acts as to Both or Server, Enable ODBC to Yes, and Port to 9000.
Windows Firewall Rule
Open Windows Defender Firewall → Inbound Rules → New Rule → Port → TCP 9000 → Allow connection. This permits warehouse handhelds on Wi-Fi to reach the Tally server.
Physical Stock vs. Stock Journal: Choosing the Right Voucher Type
Depending on your inventory workflow, OpenRFID compiles scanned EPC batches into either Physical Stock vouchers or Stock Journal envelopes:
Physical Stock Voucher
Used when warehouse operators walk aisles with handheld scanners (Chainway C72 or Zebra MC3300R). It records the actual physical count found in each Godown and automatically reconciles book balance without affecting financial P&L accounts.
- Replaces manual counting on clipboards with 700+ tags/sec sweeps.
- Only specifies audited Godown, SKU name, Batch, and Actual Physical Qty.
- Generates instant variance reports in Tally: Display → Statements of Inventory → Stock Summary.
Stock Journal Voucher
Used for inter-godown transfers (e.g. moving goods from Central Warehouse to Retail Showroom) or consumption in manufacturing (Raw Materials issued to Work in Progress).
- Supports dual line entries: Source (Consumption) and Destination (Production/Arrival).
- Automates dock portal transit transfers when forklifts pass between warehouse bays.
- Maintains FIFO cost attribution and GST state-to-state inventory trail.
Automated Stock Journal Voucher XML Payload

Why Use Native XML Over ODBC?
While Tally provides read-only ODBC access, ODBC cannot write multi-line inventory transactions with batch and godown allocations. The native XML HTTP server on Port 9000 is the official, high-integrity write protocol for TallyPrime.
Edge Debouncing & Deduplication
When a worker walks past a pallet, RFID tags respond hundreds of times per second. Our edge gateway buffers scans in a 3-second sliding window, deduplicates by EPC, resolves the SKU in local cache, and sends only aggregated line totals to TallyPrime.
Upon receiving the payload, Tally returns HTTP 200 with <CREATED>1</CREATED>. If an item does not exist or a date is locked, Tally returns <ERRORS>1</ERRORS> with <LINEERROR>, which our gateway automatically logs to prevent inventory mismatches.
