We use PHPExcelReader class to read the Excel data and PHP Curl to post it into Tally ERP 9.

The Excel data is read and converted into XML. It is then posted to Tally automatically without any manual intervention. This is done using HTTP POST request on Port 9000. If there is any error, the same is returned by Tally software.
