Summary
How to manage a fiscal or calendar year advanced too far into the future in Sage 50 Accounting.
Resolution
Option 1:
- Restore a backup from before the year was advanced.
- See How to restore from a backup for the steps to restore from a backup
- Go to Setup, Settings, Company, System, and uncheck the box "Allow transactions in the future".
- Change the session date to post a transaction.
- Don’t let the Session date go beyond the current fiscal or calendar year
Option 2:
- If there's no backup, continue working in the next year.
- You'll still be able to post transactions in the current year.
- Sage 50 allows you post transactions in the previous year
- Automatic payroll won't be available. You'll need to calculate payroll manually until the next calendar year.
