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.
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!!!
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.
