Journal Entries

SUGGESTED

I am faced with the arduous task of re entering our 2021 entries. We have several journal numbers on hand by way of paperwork, so this process is straight forward. The dilemma is many journal entry numbers have no description by way of paperwork. Is there a method to enter a journal number that falls in-between known entry numbers? Idea is to fill in the empty moving forward. as we hopefully uncover additional paperwork that fills in the blanks!   Could be accounts payable or accounts receivable or general journal entries.  Thanks in advance for any suggestions and comments.

    You cannot assign journal entries numbers directly to your entries in Sage 50.  This is one of the features of the audit trail.  They are automatically created in numeric order.

    I guess I am confused by the fact that you have journal entry numbers but no entries in your Sage 50.  How were they created?  If someone created them, I would ask why the person went to the trouble when the program does it for you.

    If the numbers have just been "created by hand" then I would ignore them and just get your data entry done.  However, I would check your reports first to make sure there are no journal entries already in your system that match the paperwork.

    I have two people working on Sage, one specifically enters the inventory but does not get a Journal Number...are we missing some setup in our system?
