Sage 50 multiple Accounts

Note the if multiple accounts have issue’s this test may need to be run multiple times. It should pop up to say that a footing error was corrected in such&such account in period # whatever. Keep running the test until no message displays.

 

Before running Synchronization tests, re-indexing the tables that are being corrected is often appropriate. In this case the files would be; Chart; Jrnl Header & Jrnl Rows. Re-indexing should always be done on File at a time.

Step 6. Reprint the same list of reports created in Step 1

Step 7. Next audit the results against the before reports printed.

If things are not fixed or actually worse, restore immediately before doing anything else.

 

Sage 50 Repair is complete

 

Once you have completed your audit of Sage 50 and confirm the data has been corrected and your issue and the gl trial balance is in balance you are good to go. (meaning debits and credits at the end of the current period Sage 50 general ledger trial balance are the same exact balance)

Step 8. Make a backup if you have reviewed the reports in detail and they are error free and you are not receiving any errors in Sage 50 when recording transactions.

Step 9. Then change the account type for the affected gl account(s) back to their original settings and run the chart/journal sync test again in FP1 until no messages are displayed. Confirm that the GL trial balance is in balance for all open periods and that the ending balance for retained earnings in the last closed period modified by the net earnings for that year matches the beginning balance in the first open period on the general ledger report.

 

Step 10. Set up a new account with the correct account type. Either edit all transactions in all open periods to the new account or make a journal entry to move the entire balance of the bad account to the new one at the end of each open year. It must have a zero balance at the end of each open accounting year. Next set the bad account to inactive. You can also rename the id for the old/bad account and then rename the ID for the new account to be the same as the old one using the changeID button.

Sage Software® Consolidates Channel Programs to Ease Sales of Peachtree® Software – 800-475-1047 – Support – Training – Consultant – Reseller

Sage Software® Consolidates Channel Programs to Ease Sales of Peachtree® Software – 800-475-1047 – Support – Training – Consultant – Reseller

CRN • Atlanta – 4:21 PM EST Fri., Aug. 02, 2002

Sage Software®’s small business division has consolidated nine channel programs into one Small Business Certified Consultant program to better help solution providers sell Peachtree® accounting solutions and other software.

The new program creates one point of contact for solution providers and incents them to sell to new customers as well as cross-sell other Sage Software® products, said Kevin Thornton, senior director of channel sales, Sage Software® small business division.

“The focus is on consistency, standardized certifications, account management, margins and having one face to the customer,” Thornton said.

The program has bronze, gold and platinum levels that are based on solution provider commitments, he said.

Bronze partners must do at least $3,000 in sales. The numbers jump to $10,000 and $30,000 for gold and platinum, respectively. Initiation and participation fees also vary by level, according to the company.

The tiers include increased margins for selling to new customers. For example, a platinum partner could make 27 percent margin selling upgrades to its current install base, but could make 37 percent margin selling to new customers.

“We came down a bit on upgrade [margins], which varied across the nine different programs, but for new customers, it’s up dramatically,” Thornton said.

The majority of sales this year have been upgrades, Thornton said. “That’s what brought about the change in the structure. Our goal is to be the gateway to other divisions for Sage Software®,” he said.

Jennifer O’Brien, president of Accounting Business Solutions by JCS, a Detroit-based solution provider, said the majority of her business is upgrades, but she is beginning to see interest from new customers as the economy improves.

“And [Sage Software®] has positioned our profit margins to give us incentive to find new clients. That’s how you grow,” O’Brien said.

Most of Sage Software®’s 800 solution providers will qualify for the program, Thornton said, but he adds, “in some cases, it won’t fit what current VARs are looking for. We encourage VARs to stay with the program. We want to optimize the output of current VARs. It’s our responsibility to open new opportunities for them.”
