I paid for the premium accountant edition as I was informed that I could use any Sage 50 on it without upgrading. My client is using Pro Accounting and when I try to open the system it tells me I need to upgrade. As I understand it this should not happen. My client should be able to use the file after I send it back to him - correct?
Hello Angella Excel Accounting,
Thanks for reaching out! The Accountants Edition allows you to work with company data files formatted for any edition of the program (First Step, Pro, Premium or Quantum), however, the version and update must be the same, 2018.3 would be the latest. Sounds like your client's file might be more up to date than yours?
- If the client's file is older than 2018, your program will try to upgrade it, at which point the client would need to upgrade their software to the latest version.
The recently elected Ontario government has decided to roll back the tax changes planned for July 1st in Ontario. Our Tax Table update was already created and it was too late for us to go back. Therefore, we are going ahead with the July 1st update for everyone and still recommend that all clients install the 2018.3 update. Our research and development team has provided the following:
First, Sage told me it could read - without updating - anything back to 2013. However, that is not the case. My client has pro 2018.3. I have accounting 2018.3 Yet, somehow, this is not working.
I have been pushing clients to sage. I will not be if they cannot get their together,.
The advantage of the Sage Accountants' software for working with client data is that it does not 'convert' Editions. You can move client data back and forth only if you and the client stay current on the latest Version.
All software for Simply Accounting and Sage 50 has always had to update the data to the installed Version before opening it. There has never (to my knowledge) been any software available (including the Accountants' Edition) that could open Simply / Sage data from an older Version without updating it.
This includes client data where the client has not updated to the newest version for the year - I might have kept 2014.3 installed, but I can't work with 2014.1 client data and return it to the client as 2014.1 data.
Single-company license software of Sage 50 can only open and save data from a single Edition. They are not able to open any file from a 'higher' Edition, and can only open files from a 'lower' edition once they have been converted.
For any desktop, database-backed software (like Sage 50) where the data *structure* has to change year-to-year, if you need to swap data back and forth between separate desktop systems you have to be on the same Version.
Microsoft Office has recently gotten off the Version Update crazy train by using a file *format* that doesn't change. Many software companies are ditching the desktop - going to SAAS online systems where *everyone* is on one version.
Another way to have everything 'the same' is to use hosting (you and the client connect to a single computer), or to use virtualization (basically you and the client swap the whole computer back and forth)
I'm trying to sign up for Sage university and it's asking for my account number. Where do I find this? I believe I'm using the accountant version of sage online accounting, I can't tell for sure. This just all seems way more complicated than it needs to be. I'm legit trying to see if Sage is a program I can use. I'm tired of Quickbooks. Please can someone guide me to the best place to begin to learn how to use this program?
I'm currently using Sage 50 Premium Accounting edition and I ran into an issue with the Foreign Currency setting. I have searched the database and none of the answers provided on previous posts resolved my issue.
Before I start my post, I want to let anyone reading this post know that (1) there are no "Other Sage 50 Windows" currently opened (2) I am logged in as Admin (3) Home currency is Canadian Dollars (4) I am the only person using the program (5) I verified the Users Rights under 'reports, Microsoft office documents. Please note that I am not a strong user of sage and in no way am I trying to suggest it by my points previously mentioned; I'm just trying to provide as much information as possible.
I had previously set up Foreign Exchange successfully, I was able to post to my USD bank account successfully using a General Journal entry by selecting the currency exchange I wanted and I posted it correctly showing me the USD rate etc. I was even able to Find General Journal Entry and I did confirm it was there.
However, when I recently went to post a General Journal Entry into the USD bank account, I am no longer able to do so; in fact, the currency exchange drop down does not appear in the General Journal nor is Foreign Currency set up and the option is 'grayed out' under "settings, company, currency". The other strange thing is that I am able to use the Find General Journal Entry, I can see it in the 'select a transaction' pop up window, I see the US dollar amount, but when I select that transaction, I am no longer able to see the exchange rate and the transaction appears in CAD amounts only. I do realize that this instance may be completely correct where I can no longer see the exchange rate etc., but I do not understand why I can no longer post to Foreign Currency and why the currency setting is unavailable to me (i.e. greyed out) in the Setup menu.
So I restored simply to a backup date where the past transaction showed and the Foreign Currency setting was available to select, then I went to the next backup immediately following the one that was correct and it was no longer there. It appears that something had occurred from the original backup (where everything was set up) to the next backup.
