HISTORICAL ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

When setting up Sage 50 for us, our accountant's assistant did not add our accounts receivable historically and "got rid of the feather".  I have been trying to add these entries historically but can't find a way of doing it.  We have received payment for these A/R's but as I can't enter the invoices, I can't post the payments.  Anyone have a way of doing this?  This was done at year end, so I can't just "fudge" the date of the invoice.  Help!!!

    Is the total amount of your accounts receivable on your balance sheet?

    If so, you can create a new Accounts Receivable account, then relink the Accounts Receivable account under Setup, Settings, Receivables, Linked Accounts to the new account.

    Then post individual invoices using the date of the first day you started using Sage 50 and posting using the old Accounts Receivable account on the line item. Do not reference any taxes and only post the total of each invoice.

    You can take a copy of your file and test it before you do it on your live file.
