Based on another query, I'm wanting to check back on a previous year. As far as I can see using the financial module, you can only go back to the beginning of the current financial year.
Thats how I understand it John, which I think is one of the main gripes about Sage. However - do you have a back up from a prior time? (I always do one at the year end as Ive learnt the hard way!). If so load that bad boy and hey presto.....

One of the spin-off benefits of transaction based reporting packages that work with Sage, including our own, is that you typically have access to any two year period of your choice without needing to restore backups etc. A lot of people find this functionality really useful to have.
I did Joanne, and that's handy advice for future reference, thanks. It doesn't help me in this instance because I am trying to look for a prev year adjustment of £64, which relates to an entry made after Jan with a date prior to year end Jan
I did the year end checks in July and (lazy me) am just doing the CT600 so need to find it
I've gone into financial module and the entry in prev year on the profit loss just shows £64 direct costs labour. I've looked in direct costs on the nominal codes 6000-6099 and can't find it. Any other nom codes that would show up as direct costs?
The other thread on this subject may have some help on identifying the transactions. The Nominal Ledger Analyser layout, with the display set to Brought Fwd, may help you to identify the postings. When you post to the previous year it updates the Brought Fwd period which would otherwise be zero.

Hi John
I would try what Ian suggests, although I forgot this was there!! I wouldve looked at the COA - same sort of thing, although the with the latter you can also click the 'check' button to make sure all accounts are being reported. My Sage for eg has Direct costs from 6000 - 6999 and it may well be that someone before you has split out Labour to carry extra nominal codes but not lumped them to report correctly (I do that quite a bit for a couple of my customers). If that looks right also perhaps look for Trial Balance b/forward - do those figures match what you expected after your adjustments? Maybe a nominal activity excluding no transaction report and wade through it as it sounds like more than one entry if you cant locate it from just the amount.

Hi Ian and Joanne, sorry for the delay. Fixed it thanks to Ian's suggestion, it was staring me in the face in nominal 6003 but my brain hadn't kicked in because of the date. . Dated Oct 12 when it should have been Oct 13.
