Our company has two offices, one in Calgary Canada and our original office in Aberdeen, Scotland.
Previously all of books were tracked through a Sage 50 user in Aberdeen. When she went to transition both our offices accounts onto the cloud version, we found out that each country has its own version of this software and the version built for their region will not handle canadian dollars or tax codes.
We are going to open a Canadian Sage 50cloud account to recitfy this. I'll be taking over the Canadian work and I'm wondering if I can get any early input on how to import data from a Sage 50 account data dump, into a new Sage 50 cloud account. Speaking briefly with a Sage rep on the phone I was told that Excel is the universal format for uploading. Our Aberdeen staff created the data to be transferred into a "Notebook" file, which is what they usually use there?
Has anyone deal with uploading a history in the the Sage 50 cloud from a differend Sage product? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Also wondering if anyone has run into this issue with it only handling one county's tax codes - I'm already concerned as soon we will have more invoices coming in and going out from the US down the road. We can't be the first client who has worked from two countries before, and I'm wondering if there is better way to set this all up, or possibly a better Sage product for us.
Thank you in advance!
