A quick Sage - negative TO question - help please.
Permalink Closed


Hi,

When I 'check data' in Sage I get two comments, as follows:

Account TA year-to-date turnover is negative

Account TA this months turnover is negative

I don't know what 'Account TA' is and turnover is not negative. I don't think these comments are causing any problems, but I like things to be tidy and these are not.

Anyone know what this means?

Thank you.

Hi Maria

Just from the information you have given:

TA, "transaction activity"

Is there a customer in your ledger, with a credit due to them in the current year?

If it's only a comment generated after you clicked the check data button; then it's nothing to worry about.

Hi,

Thanks for you reply, and sorry for my late one.

There are a few payments on account within customer accounts in the customer ledger, but none of the total balances due are negative...make sense?

For eg, customer A paid £50, gave no invoice number, so is sitting in their account as a payment on account. But customer A also has 10 invoices on the account for £50, so the balance showing is £950. Does that make sense?

Would that cause the comments that are being generated.

Oh, and I know I don't need to worry about them, but I just don't like not knowing what's causing them!!!

Cheers again

Hi Maria,

I have some of these warnings in Check Data. Have you gone over a year end without actually running it in Sage yet? It's usually caused by posting credit notes in one year that relate to invoices in the previous year. I have one supplier who had an outstanding invoice from last year and I have created a credit note posted in this year. Therefore the only transaction in this financial year is a negative one. It could also happen with a payment on account.
