Sage 50 Date entered is outside current financial year

 

When entering transactions into Sage 50, users may from time to time see a warning stating that ‘the date entered is outside the current Financial Year’.

There are two reasons why this warning will appear

1.  The entered date on the transaction is for a prior financial year.  At a quick glance you can see your Financial Year Start at the
   bottom right hand corner of you Sage 50 screen.
2.   The entered date on the transaction is beyond the end date of your current financial year.  This warning will be quite common
   for Sage users when entering transactions for the new financial year but have not closed off the old financial year in Sage 50.
