Set up the nominal link to post to Sage 200
Description

In Sage 50 Payroll, you can use the nominal link option to post your salary journals directly into Sage 200 Accounts.

The nominal link can post to earlier versions than those listed, e.g. Line 100 and Sage MMS, but these versions aren't supported by Sage Technical Support.

NOTE: The option to post a bank payment isn't available when posting to Sage 200 due to the cash book being separate from the nominal account. Post this from within the Sage 200 software manually once you've posted the payroll journals.
