BANK FEEDS - USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

SUGGESTED

Hi 

I have been using Sage for the past 9 years in it's most simplistic form (we don't even create our invoices on Sage - yet) we create in word and then add to Sage via Batch Invoice (similar to how we add our supplier invoices) and then manually process all bank transactions when the statement comes in.  This has worked well for us over the years, but as we have grown we are looking to try and make some things a bit better, faster, easier.  Our first change has been to link our bank to the BANK FEEDS.  As we don't yet create our invoices in Sage, I believe I need to use the create option rather than the match (since I have nothing to match it to) - and watching the video that all looked relatively easy to do.

However, when I downloaded the transactions from the bank for the first time, 31 transactions downloaded, but 5 of these have already been processed through Sage the "old way" from the bank statement and I don't know what to do with them.   

Anyone who answers in the form of "a guide to using Bank Feeds for dummies" (as that's how I feel right now!) would be appreciated.

Thanks

    Hi Marie,

    Thanks for using Community Hub.

    There's a step by step guide to bank feeds here that's useful: Using Bank Feeds 

    From what you've described I believe you will be able to use the "Ignore selection" button for the transactions you no longer want to see.

    There's a live, free, webinar this afternoon about Bank Feeds if you're able to attend: Live webinars - This session is being held again in early December if you can't attend, or you can catch up with previous recordings

    Hi, 

    I feel the same needing a guide to using bank rules. I've seen all the videos and I still can't find the option to create bank rules. We have bank feeds connected, but I still can't find the option to start creating bank rules as we want to turn things faster as well. I'm using the most recent sage version. Can someone share any tips?
