Financial Year end Back ups

Posted By FormerMember

Hi I have recently joined company that uses a Sage 50 professional accounting package. I am told by the IT consuttant that supports the system that all system back ups are based on transaction date. The problem I have is that I want to have back-ups for each financial year that reflects the final audited accounts. My predecessor did not necessarily post year end adjustments and if he did they were months or sometimes years after the financial year end. Although he did post these in the correct financial year, because the back ups are currently based on transaction date, there is no clean back up for a particular financial year. Can back ups be made based on accounting periods rather than transaction date to overcome this problem?   Alternatively what solution to other people use to get around this. I have a particular business reason to restore different year ends and I am being driven mad by not being able to simply restore a back up without having to make adjustments to reflect the final audited position

    I've joined a company that uses Sage 50 for accounting. Our IT consultant mentioned that backups are based on transaction dates. However, I need backups that reflect the final audited accounts for each financial year. The previous accountant posted year-end adjustments late, making it hard to get a clean backup for any specific year.

    Can we make backups based on accounting periods instead of transaction dates to solve this? Or is there another method people use to easily restore year-end data without needing further adjustments? This issue is crucial for my work.
