A daily sales report from Tally is the day's total selling, invoice by invoice, and on your phone it means the owner sees today's number before he reaches home instead of calling the office to ask. In Tally Prime this report is the Sales Register, filtered to today, which lists every sales voucher with the party, the value, and a running total of the day's turnover at the bottom. The trouble is that the register lives on the office desktop, so a distributor out on his routes cannot tell whether today crossed the daily target until he is back at the desk. Takkada reads your sales vouchers straight from Tally and shows the day's selling on mobile: total sales today, the bill count, and the biggest invoices, refreshed as fresh vouchers post. Tally stays the book of record. The phone simply makes today's number visible from wherever the owner happens to be standing.

What a Daily Sales Report Tells a Distributor
For a distribution business, the day's selling is the pulse. It says whether the routes moved stock, whether the new scheme landed, and whether the month is tracking to its target or drifting. An owner who knows his daily number by 7 PM runs a different business from one who learns it two days later when the accountant closes the books.
The number tells you the shape of the day, well past a bare total: which parties bought, which items moved, whether one big invoice carried the day or a hundred small ones did. Read that way, the daily sales report is the first thing an owner should see each evening, the same way he checks what a party owes before giving fresh credit.
Where the Day's Sales Live in Tally
In Tally Prime, every sale you book is a voucher, and the Sales Register is the report that gathers them. From Gateway of Tally, go to Display More Reports, then Account Books, then Sales Register, and set the period to today. You get every sales voucher of the day, each with its party and value, and the day's total at the foot.
Drill into any voucher and you see the invoice in full: items, quantities, GST, the lot. Change the period to this week or this month and the same register rolls up the wider picture. It is the one report that answers "kitna becha aaj" without any guesswork, provided you are sitting at the machine that runs it.
What the Owner Actually Decides From It
The daily number drives real decisions before the day is even over.
| The owner sees | The decision it drives |
|---|---|
| Sales well below the daily average | Call the route, check if a salesman is stuck or a party held an order |
| One party carrying the whole day | Watch the concentration, chase the smaller parties who went quiet |
| A slow item that usually moves | Push a scheme or a reminder to the field team before close |
| A strong day near month end | Judge whether the monthly target is in reach and where to push |
None of this waits for the month-end statement. It is a same-day read, which is exactly why it hurts to have it locked on the office desktop while the owner is on the road.
Reading the Daily Number on Your Phone
The last problem is location. The decisions above get made in the field, on a call, or on the drive home, and that is where the Sales Register is not.
Takkada reads your sales vouchers from Tally and puts the day's selling on the phone: total sales today, the bill count, and the largest invoices, refreshed as vouchers post because Takkada keeps a two-way sync with Tally rather than a stale nightly export. The same mobile surface that carries your Tally reports on the phone carries the daily total, and the Reports+ add-on opens the deeper cuts for owners who want more than the headline. Tally stays the system of record; the phone just makes today visible.
The Reports That Sit Next to It
The daily total is the top line. The moment an owner wants to know why the day looked the way it did, he drills sideways.
To see which retailers drove the day, he opens the party-wise sales report. To see which SKUs moved, he opens the item-wise sales report. To judge which route or salesman carried it, he opens the salesman-wise sales report. On the phone these sit one tap apart, so the daily headline is a doorway into the detail, not a dead end.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the daily sales report in Tally?
A: It is the Sales Register filtered to a single day. In Tally Prime you reach it from Gateway of Tally, then Display More Reports, then Account Books, then Sales Register, with the period set to today. It lists every sales voucher of the day with party and value and totals the day's turnover, and you can drill into any voucher for the full invoice.
Q: Can I see today's Tally sales on my phone?
A: Yes. Takkada reads your sales vouchers from Tally and shows the day's selling on mobile, including total sales, bill count, and the biggest invoices. Because it stays in two-way sync with Tally, the phone figure matches the office desktop and refreshes as new vouchers post through the day.
Q: How is a daily sales report different from a party-wise sales report?
A: The daily report answers "how much did we sell today" across the whole business. The party-wise report answers "which retailers bought, and how much each". You usually read the daily total first, then drill into the party-wise view when a number looks unusual and you want to know who drove it.
Q: Does reading the daily sales report change anything in Tally?
A: No. Viewing the Sales Register or the mobile daily total is a read-only activity that reports the state of the books without altering them. Tally stays the system of record. Takkada only writes back when you actually raise an invoice or log a receipt, and even then it posts a clean voucher into your existing Tally company.
Q: Can I get weekly and monthly sales the same way?
A: Yes. The Sales Register takes any period, so the same report that shows today rolls up to this week, this month, or a custom range. On the phone the daily total is the default view an owner checks each evening, with the wider periods a filter away when he wants the trend rather than the day.
