sage help again!!!

[julieanne4]

Hello everyone....

As the title states I need help on sage again, I have just run a year end (fy ends on 31st Jan), I followed all instructions and aftter completing yr end I was advised not to clear the audit trail, advice taken. Since doing yr end I have tried to do a couple of invoices and it kept stating that the transaction date was outside the current financial year and did I want to continue - I said yes. On further investigation it now states that my financial year starts on 1st Feb 2010, not 2009... I dont know how I have done that and I dont know how to correct it - can someone help please.

Thanks

Julie

By no means a Sage expert but it sounds like you have inadvertently processed two year-end functions rather than one - can you not just restore the back-up from immediately prior to running the year-end and try again - making sure to only do it once?

Thats a very good idea - How do I restore the back up...

Honestly we try to do our accounts at home but I think a course in sage is a good idea.

How do I restore the back up...

In Sage - Go to File and then choose Restore and then navigate to where you saved the last back-up file to.

You may be able to just change the financial year. Some of the later version allows you change the financial year. Go to settings, financial year and check if there is a tab "Change". If it is there, you may be able to change the date.

Whatever method you use, just be careful and take extra care for checking balances and ensuring all entries are there or re-entered (If you restore back up).
