Migrating from Tasbooks to Sage

SUGGESTED

I am trying to migrate from Tasbooks to Sage 50c accounts at the end of a Vat period. I have there issues:

1. I’d like to make sure that the nominal code numbers created in Sage have the correct sequence (ie account number ranges) for our balance sheet and detailed P&L categories and subcategories. I think that can be best achieved by having Sage determine the NL numbers based on the Tasbooks Analysis Categories and within Analysis Categories, Tas Nominal Grouping. Is that possible to do? In an earlier attempt, we did not get a continuous range, especially for our expense categories  

2. Also, after conversion to Sage, is it possible to change the nominal code numbers within Sage so that we can correct account range to set up account subcategories for our reports? Can that be done also for NL codes that have a populated trial balance value?

3. We have three companies in our group that basically use the same chart of accounts in Tasbooks. What is the best way of ensuring that the chart of accounts for all three companies has the same nominal codes in Sage so that it is easier for us to do the double entries across the three companies and to eventually consolidate the accounts?

Thanks in anticipation!

    Hi Melinda,

    Thanks for using Sage City.

    To set up the nominal codes in Sage, you would add these within nominal codes, However, if you're wanting to set up nominal ranges for you P&L and Balance Sheet, click on Chart of Accounts form the top of Nominal Codes > click edit on the default layout and you can amend them in there.

    You can add, delete and edit nominal codes but not if the nominal code has transactions posted against it.

    To get the same chart of accounts in each company, you would set them up, in full, on one company first, then copy it across to the other companies by following this guide: Copy COA
