Sage - lost transaction
Permalink Closed


So I'm doing a reconciliation and there is one single transaction that is missing. It is showing on the activity list of the bank and supplier- correct bank account, correct date and currently unreconciled. However in the reconciliation box it is missing. HOW??!!! It's driving me mad.

What is the date of the unreconciled item? What is the date on the Bank rec screen for the actual rec? Are you sure its not allocated already at the bottom - its sometimes easy to click on two entries at the same time?
Is it a grouped transaction?

Might need screen shots.

date was 29/02, reconcile date was 29/02. I thought maybe grouped, however it wasn't. Weirdly when i changed the reconcile date to 01/03 it showed up. Have never had that before!!!!

Odd one. Are you working on a different 'system' date?

Sometimes you just need to discard the rec saved, then start again as the system re-sets and refreshes and items pop back in. Not often needed though.

Other issue people sometimes find is on older sage versions if they have done journals as they dont show in the Bank rec.

But - glad you have it sorted.

It's Sage 50 Accounts Client Manager version 21 so fairly up to date. But I am remotely accessing via two computers so not sure if that makes a difference - I can't get some shortcut keys to work because of this.

Oh yes - journals will not affect that version. Could be that remote access, not really sure. Out of interest are you accessing via a server or through the Sage portal? Plus are you on Windows 10? Might have just been a one off blip, or the issue with windows that was reported earlier this week.

Sorry just realised you said 'client manager'!

I'm inclined to look suspiciously at that date, and wonder if Sage's date handling code might have a small, obscure (i.e. rarely triggered) bug somewhere. Ordinarily, that wouldn't be my first inclination - but when the date in question is 29/2 that possibility always springs to mind.

Another possibility: When was the transaction input? ISTR that if you input a transaction (not via the 'adjustments' button - which I assume the Client Manager version has) it doesn't get reflected in the reconciliation screen if it's open, and you have to force it to refresh the list of transactions. I usually save and reload the reconciliation, as Joanne suggested - but could changing the date have achieved the same end?

Yes changing the date would cause a refresh (with very much older sages you can almost see the cogs whirring as it does it!)

No idea why but Ive never used the 'adjustments' button.

Also - Sammy would have the chance to feedback or query this direct with sage as she/her bosses should have full cover with it being client manager.

 Hi Vince 

That crossed my mind as well, but with the problem re-occurring every 4 years I thought Sage would probably have a handle on it, but then again........

Sometimes Sage do stoooopid things - like move the VAT calc net button from being next to the save button (presumably cos someone with fat fingers, Ok I mean poor eyesight complained about them being close together!) and move one to to the top of a page, with the other at the bottom so slowing things down. (Plus they seemed to change the shortcut buttons with that one too!)
