Clear Audit Trail

Posted By Karen Parkes 5 months ago

We have transactions on Sage 50 dating back over 10 years. I was running the Clear Audit trail and came across the following message.

Your transaction date is set before the current lock date of 01/04/2023. Do you wish to proceed and post to a locked date.

Posting with an alternative date may effect your statutory returns.

I wasn't sure about this so came out. Can someone advise me please ?!

Hi Karen,

Thanks for using Community Hub.

Lock Date allows you to specify a date before which transactions cannot be posted, you can use this to protect against late entries being posted and changing your balances after the period has closed.

In this case, Clear Audit Trail will remove transactions and then post and opening balance, because this opening balance will pre-date the local date, that's why the message is appearing.

You can override this an continue but it will post the balance transactions into the period before the lock date.

Regards,

Andy
