Hi,
I am currently wanting to put all of our accounts onto Sage software. Currently everything is done manually. Does anyone have a checklist of what needs to be entered onto the system just so as I do not miss anything. I am also doing this mid year.

Thank you for the information provided. I cannot see a subject for entering the vat that we have already paid.

Because the vat already paid has been accounted for in your old system you do not want to account for it a second time in the new system so all the opening balances on customers and suppliers are gross amounts.

If you are part way through a vat period then you would work out the vat on what was entered in the old system run a return in sage and add the two together for the first return.

Now I am confused. At the end of the year I want the new computerised software to show the accounts for the whole year which rather than having half on paper and half on the computer. Would it be better if I just put everything on computer from the beginning of year.

If you want everything in sage for the whole year then you need to enter everything for the whole year.

You could enter opening balances and not bother recording any of the individual invoices and refer back to the previous system for the details. But you already said you want the VAT history so you need the whole history, so you need to enter it all.
