The accounting and company management software system Sage 50, originally known
as Simply Accounting. You can alter the start date of your fiscal year with Sage
50, among a host of other software operations. During your first fiscal year,
you can easily alter the start date. The next step is to update the fiscal year
end date, which will immediately move the new fiscal year start date to the next
day. However, users might need to do this if they have entered incorrect
financial year end date or financial year has changed. They can change the year
end data at any time. This article explains how to change the financial year
start date in Sage.

you must adjust the start date back to reflect the new end date in Sage 50
Accounts, which only supports 12-month financial years.

HOW ARE THE BALANCES RECALCULATED?

The following adjustments take place when you use the Financial Year option to
modify the beginning of your financial year:


 * Based on the transactions that show up on your audit trail, the monthly
   nominal code balances are rebuilt.
 * Based on the transactions in your audit trail, the year-to-date turnover
   figures for your customers and suppliers are updated.
 * The product transactions are used to adjust the monthly sales amounts on the
   product records.

> Note: –
> 
> All budget and prior year values are eliminated from the nominal codes when
> the Financial Year Change option is used. You cannot create Budget or Prior
> Year reports without this data. It is possible to save this information,
> though, for conventional budgeting and prior year values.

> To get the best assistance regarding the Change the Financial Year Start Date
> in Sage, you can simply contact our Sage 50 live chat specialists Team.


RUN THE REPORTS FOR THE END OF THE SHORTENED FINANCIAL YEAR

Set the financial year to January 2022 if you want the new fiscal year to begin
in that month.

For instance, running the typical year-end reports as of the end of December
2022 would be necessary if the new, shortened financial year began in January
2023.

Typical reports include:

 * Profit & loss
 * Aged debtors
 * Trial balance
 * Balance sheet
 * Aged creditors


CHANGE THE FINANCIAL YEAR START DATE IN SAGE

The prior year must be selected when changing the financial year start date.

For instance, configure the financial year to begin in January 2022 if you want
the new fiscal year to begin in January 2023.

 * In the beginning, go to the Settings >>> Financial Year and then click on the
   “Change” tab
 * When prompted to review data and create backups, click on the “Yes” button
 * In response to the question about nominal historical data, select the “Yes”
 * The required financial year’s start month and year should be set

For example, configure the financial year to begin in January 2022 if you want
the new fiscal year to begin in January 2023

 * At last, click on the “Ok” button >>> “Yes” and then again hit the Ok button
   twice.


RUN THE YEAR END



By doing this, the profit and loss figures are adjusted to include the year’s
end date and the financial year’s start date is moved up to the needed start
date.

AFTER RUNNING YEAR END

There are three simple things must be checked to ensure that your data is all
set for your new financial year:

 1. Check the Financial Year Start Date
 2. Click Financial Year under Settings in the navigation bar
 3. Verify the accuracy of the date
 4. Before moving on, you must Reverse the Year End to make the necessary
    corrections.
 5. Check the Brought Forward Trail Balance

By default, your profit and loss nominal numbers range from 4000 to 9999. As
part of the year-end procedure, the balance is transferred to your retained
profit balance sheet code, which is 3200.

 * Click Trial Balance after selecting Nominal codes
 * On the Period drop-down selection, select Brought forward and then click
   Preview >>> Run
 * After clicking on the “Ok” button, make sure your profit and loss nominal
   codes are no balances.

You should examine your chart of accounts (COA), run the year end once more, and
restore your pre-year end backup if any of the profit and loss codes contain
balances.

 * Make sure that your data is healthy
 * On the menu bar, select the File menu >>> Maintenance, and then click on the
   “Check Data” option
 * Next, hit “Ok” when the notification stating that there are no issues
   displays
 * The Year End process was unsuccessful if you now have problems in your data
 * Run the year end again after restoring to the last backup you made.

Congratulations! Your year end is complete, and you’re prepared to begin working
in your new fiscal year in Sage.

FAQS: CHANGE THE FINANCIAL YEAR START DATE IN SAGE 50


WHAT OCCURS WHEN YOU START A NEW FISCAL YEAR IN SAGE 50?

When you create a new fiscal year in Sage 50, the following modifications will
appear:

 * For the new fiscal year, dates are automatically set up.
 * The spending and revenue accounts’ balances will both be zeroed out.
 * The Retained Earnings Account receives the Net Profit or Loss.
 * Both the asset and liability accounts’ balances are carried over to the new
   fiscal. This balance is not, however, transferred to an other account.


WHEN DO WE LOCK THE PREVIOUS FINANCIAL YEAR IN SAGE 50?

You will need to Lockdown the date if you need to stop transactions from being
entered for the prior year. For example, if your fiscal year ends on December

You will need to remove the YEAR-END LOCKDOWN date if you need to input some
transactions for the prior year.


WHAT ARE THE THINGS NEED TO BE CHECKED BEFORE I CHANGE THE YEAR START DATE IN
SAGE 50?

The following are a few things you should look at before the financial year ends
in Sage:

 * Ensure that any outstanding transactions, including adjustments from the
   accountant, have been properly posted.
 * You need to act now if you plan to run at the end of the month.
