Tjmack:

In the reconciliation module under the worksheet folder an "adjustment required" means your Sage ledger bank account and the bank statement do not balance. If the amount you are out is the amount from a reversing entry from 2012 it would need to be ticked off as being reconciled. This should correct your problem. However, to be sure I would need to look at your Sage reconciliation. Please contact me directly to solve your issue.

Hi Randy,

If I tick it off it will then say I have an unresolved amount. This is why I am so confused. It seemed going back to previous reconciliation's this adjustment should have been ticked off like you said.

Tjmack:

You may have to make a journal entry to correct the unresolved amount. Check the original adjustment and make an entry to the same accounts but in reverse.

Otherwise give me a call.

It sounds like someone adjusted an entry on the bank for a period that was already reconciled. If you can do the reconciliation manually, but not on the system, you likely need to reset your bank reconciliation. Keep in mind that if you do this, you will lose ALL previous bank recs on the system, so #1 do a backup first and #2 make sure you have all the bank recs printed to hard copy or pdf before starting.

I think that this is what needs to be done because I posted adjustment, and it still says "adjustment required" with the amount in a positive instead of negative balance when I print off the rec. Is it difficult to reset bank reconciliation? Easy to screw up? I did it once before but I don't remember much. If I can remember I just need the prior bank reconciliation to add all the outstanding cheques correct?

Hope this helps.

ok...just saw this. How do I  clear out Bank Reconciliation that was attempted on Sage 50 but not used afterwords. I want to utilize the feature instead of doing it manually right now.
