Summary
Cause
The reconciled status for a transaction in Sage 50 does not transfer to Sage Accounting during migration.
Resolution
Since the reconciled status does not transfer from Sage 50 to Sage Accounting, you must complete an initial reconciliation of all transactions reconciled in Sage 50.
On the Bank Reconciliation page
- Enter a Statement Date that corresponds to the date of your last bank reconciliation in Sage 50
- Enter a Statement End Balance that corresponds to the reconciled balance on your last bank reconciliation in Sage 50
- Click Apply
- Check all transactions that were marked as reconciled in Sage 50
- Verify that the Target Balance and Reconciled Balance at the bottom of the page match and your Difference is zero
- Click Finish
CAUTION: You will not be able to unreconcile these transactions once this reconciliation is complete. Please verify all information before clicking Finish.
You can easily select all transactions by selecting Reconcile All Entries under the Interest and Charges menu. This will check all of the displayed transactions. You can then uncheck any displayed transactions that were not reconciled in Sage 50.
Once this initial reconciliation is complete, you can continue with your normal monthly reconciliations.
