Reconciling Bank functions in Sage Line 50

By Lois Park


Open your company data in Sage Line 50 and navigate to the Bank page by clicking the Bank icon on the left side at the bottom of the page. This page shows you your bank accounts you have put onto Sage Line 50.

The purpose of reconciling the bank is to allocate a payment against a Customer or Supplier invoice. Sage Line 50 then shows this item has been paid.

At the very top of the Bank Page there are many icons. When reconciling the Bank you'll need a banking statement showing payment out and in.

A payment from a customer can be recorded by selecting Customer. You may then select the customers account number and allot the payment to a certain invoice. A payment from a client you do not have on Sage Line 50 and you have not invoiced you are going to need to decide on the receipt icon and fill in any details.

When you have paid a supplier you do the same thing as when you receive payment from a customer but this time clicking the supplier icon. Sage Line 50 will automatically set the date of payment to the day you are inserting the information. Don't forget to change this date to the specific date you received the payment. When you make a payment to a supplier you do not have on Sage Line 50 you can press the Payment icon and fill in the detail. These are most likely to be payments made by company credit card.

Remember you're going to need to process all direct debits and bank charges.

You then select the Reconcile button and match all payments with the statement received from you bank. The total reconciled balance may not match the whole amount on your bank statement as some of the payments you processed may not have come out the bank yet.
