Sage Instant Accounts entering daily takings

SUGGESTED

I have had Sage Instant Accounts 2014 and haven't been using it. I now want to enter all of my z readings retrospectively into Sage. My question is how do I enter this information. My till like most simple tills separates the taking into potentially 24 departments. I have used them all. The individual totals in all departments is a gross total. Then the totals of all departments is split into Cash and Charge (card payments). These are available as either gross or net. Gross includes sales discounts. But it is not separated by department. So I don't know how much sales discount has been applied to each individual department. Therefore I don't know the net amount. Also I can't split the totals of each department into cash or card payments. I don't know how much to proportion the types of payments. My Z readings don't say. So how do I use all the information I have been collecting and enter this into the Cash Register mode in Sage. Also, I have made 24 nominal codes in both the sales and purchases of sage that correspond exactly to the departments I have on my till. E.g. nominal codes 4001 to 4024. I have included a copy of a recent Z reading for Sage gurus to help with.

    Hi Hiten,

    Thanks for using our Product Support Community.

    You can record your daily takings of a cash register in Sage Accounts. You can then reconcile the cash takings in the till against the day book reports produced from within Sage Accounts and account for any discrepancies.

    You can find full info on how to record till takings in Sage 50 Accounts here.

    Why have you even bothered to reply to me. This is the worst blanket response I have ever read. It is like that scene from "Little Britain" the TV program where the employee just says "computer says no" over and over again to every question. I have even provided an image of my z-readings so you can see how much information I am trying to enter into the Cash Register. Please read my question and if you don't know refer it someone more senior or experienced or find out the answer. You are giving Sage a bad reputation.

    Hi Hiten,

    Thanks for the post unfortunately we have no knowledge of how to extrapolate the information from your till reading, without knowledge of how the departments work in relation to Net/ Vat/ Discount the values are indecipherable to a non layman.

    I did a quick google search and there are a few Accounting websites out there with till reading queries. You may have more joy asking there.
