Use the Creditors Reconciliation Enquiry to reconcile your purchase ledger accounts with the nominal ledger. The reconciliation enquiry shows any discrepancies between the creditor's control nominal account opening balance (plus net change for the period) and the closing balance.
Where there are discrepancies we suggest you check any opening balance invoices against the opening balance on the Creditors Control nominal account. You should also check for any journals posted to the Creditors Control nominal account.
See Investigate differences between ledgers for more information on how to investigate any differences.
The enquiry only works with open item purchase ledger accounts.
Note: You can only reconcile transactions entered in Sage 200 v4.0 or later versions. If you have migrated transactions from earlier versions, these transactions are not included in the reconciliation enquiries.
You must:
Open: Purchase Ledger > Purchase Enquiries > Creditors Reconciliation Enquiry.
