Changing SMS Suffix of a Company in Tally.ERP 9

SMS Suffix is a unique identification number allotted to each company when it is connected to Tally.NET Server. The first company connected to Tally.NET Server gets number 1 as the SMS Suffix for the respective user. The SMS Suffix increments correspondingly as the number companies connected to Tally.NET Server increase for that user. The SMS Suffix is limited to nine companies only, that is, nine companies only can be accessed via SMS for an authorized Tally.NET user.

While querying for information, when the user does not provide the SMS Suffix the system assumes that you are querying with the company having SMS Suffix 1 and responds accordingly.

Assuming that you have a number of companies connected to Tally.NET Server for querying information and you need to query the information from the 7th company frequently, then you will have to send the query to specified number suffixed with 7 which may be a little cumbersome. Instead Tally.ERP 9 provides you the flexibility to change the SMS Suffix to a desired number.
