Sage 300

Have a customer on Sage 300 version 5.6 who has not used bank rec previously but wants to start. Any advice on the least painful way to get the first one done and clear out several years worth?

@PhilMcIntosh you will want to clear the checks/deposits a year at a time, depending on how many open checks/deposits transactions there are. To make it balance create a bank entry and then delete it when it goes to the GL.

You mean it is not as simple as clearing in Sage 100???

nope! You have to post a reconciliation in 300. The bank module in 300, especially on 5.6 is the worst module they have ever released.

@MarcCregan ??

@LloydSmith - is it any better in version 2014? Trying to get them to upgrade...

@PhilMcIntosh - the module has gotten better and we see more users actually performing the bank reconciliation within the application now than we have before.
