HELP!! - Need help with contra in Sage
Permalink Closed


Hi - hope anyone can help.. I've just started with a community interest comany with 6 directors and a number of retail units with tenants.  The culture is a bit of a barter economy so tenant directors often ask rents to be offset by expense purchases they make for the good of all.  Or else a number of our tenants share use of our streamline card machine and we get the money and then reimburse less a small commission.  Tenants often ask to offset these against rents and utilities as well.  In trying to track all these inter-linking transactions I am completely overwhelmed by all the contra-payments going on and am losing track in sage....please can anyone help me navigate these with a standard process of contra-ing that will work

Depending on the version, have you tried using the contra wizard. Am I reading correctly and you have entered as customer and suppliers? I am wondering whether it would be slightly less technical to open as its own bank account and when paying balance transfer the amount paid from bank to the director bank account.

Hi there,

I was wondering if it may be easier to keep track of them all in a spreadsheet and then transfer totals to Sage on a monthly/weekly basis? Or will this not give you the information you need?

I am using sage instants so unfortunately no contra wizard. I am leaning towards doing it all in excel and transferring totals as suggested - thank you for your help! RT
