Did you know that you no longer need to order pre-printed T-4 forms if you are using Sage ERP version 5.4?  To print the form and the employee’s information at the same time, you simply select the option for “Plain Paper for Employees” to print 2 T-4 slips per page for your employees; or the “Plain Paper for CRA” or “Plain Paper for Employer”.

How to create a new Fiscal Year in Sage Accpac ERP

If you produce cheques and invoices from subledgers you must create the fiscal year for 2009 or the system will not let you use dates later than March 31, 2008.  What you need to do is have someone with the access to the Common Services select Common Services, Fiscal Calendar and click on the “New” symbol to the right of the year that shows (2008).  This will create the year ending March 31, 2009.  Save the new dates and exit.  Note that there is a separate process for closing the year 2008 in Sage Accpac ERP and creating the new year’s General Ledger tables.

How to create a new year in Sage Accpac ERP General Ledger

FIRST BACK UP YOUR DATA, then: 

  1. Go to General Ledger, GL Setup, Options and select the Posting tab.  Verify that the number of years’ transaction history to keep is at least 5.  If you are using Sage Accpac ERP 500 you can retain up to 99 years history.  Also verify that the Create New Year function has not yet been run by verifying that the current year showing is 2008.

  2. Next, select Periodic Processing, Create New year.  You will have a warning to backup prior to proceeding.  DO NOT IGNORE THIS WARNING!

  3.  As long as you have done a backup,  select “Process”.  Once the year is created, a message will display indicating that the new year has been created.  NOTE:   IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU DO NOT RESET BATCH NUMBERS, AS IT WILL ELIMINATE THE ABILITY TO LOOK AT TRANSACTION DETAILS FOR YOUR AUDITOR.
