Here's a sample Excel sheet that contains StockItem Master records with multiple Price Levels.

For those who are not familiar with the Price List (Multiple Price Level) feature of Tally, here's a brief introduction:-

Price List in Tally 9

Tally Software allows you to maintain different Price Levels for a single Stock-Item. For example, a stock-item may be sold at different rates to :-

a) Whole-sale Dealers
b) Retailers
c) End-users

Tally Software provides "Multiple Price Levels" feature that allows you to accomplish this task.

Enabling the Multiple Price Level feature

To import Stock-Item Masters with multiple Price Level from the sample Excel sheet, you must first enable the Multiple Price-level feature in Tally using the underneath option :-

Gateway of Tally -> F11 -> Inventory features -> Use Multiple Price Levels=Yes

Follow these steps to Import the Excel sheet data into Tally Software.

1) Download and unzip the files into "c:\udi-magic" folder.
2) Start the Tally software and create/open a Dummy Company.
3) Enable the Multiple Price Level feature using F11 -> Inventory Features option. Next, add two Price Levels viz a) MRP b) ListPrice
4) Minimize Tally Software
