Changing Ledger Allocation details for Stock-Items in Tally ERP

How can I change the Ledger Allocation details for multiple Stock Items in Tally ERP ?

Brief description of the Query
I am using POS Sales for invoicing. I have created a Voucher class (incl VAT), so that in the Invoice the rates are inclusive of all the taxes. When creating Stock-Items, I use the option “Set/Modify Default Ledgers for Invoicing” to specify the Ledger allocation for Sales Invoice as follows :-

Sales @ 13.5% == 88.1057

Output VAT @ 13.5% ==11.8943

Now as the VAT rates changed from 13.5% to 14%, I will have to manually alter each and every Stock-Item. Around 6000 SKU’s comprising both items at 5% & 13.5% Vat rates.

Is there any solution to update the Ledger allocations details for multiple stock-items together in Tally.ERP ?

Solution

1) Take back up of Tally data (for safety purpose)

2) Use the option “Gateway of Tally >> Display >> List of Accounts >> Alt+E” to export the STOCKITEM Masters in XML format.

Remarks: This will create a file named Master.xml. in Tally folder

3) Next, open the Master.xml file in Notepad and search/replace 88.1057 (whatever old rate is) with New Rate. After this save, the Master.xml file

4) Next, import the Master.xml file into Tally using option “Gateway of Tally >> Import of Data >> Masters”
