Set up and post the nominal link to file

Set up the nominal link to post to file

Set your software to produce the file, rather than to your Sage 50 Accounts software. To do this:

Click Company, then click Nominal Settings.
Under the destination heading, click the Accounts Software or File drop-down list and click File.
From the Override by drop-down list, select Department or Cost Centre, as required.
If required, select the Overrides may replace Department information with blanks check box.
Click the P&L Analysis tab and enter the required nominal code in the Acc N/C column for every category.
Click the BS Analysis tab and enter the required nominal code in the Acc N/C column for every category.
Click OK.

Post the nominal link to file

Click Payroll, then select the required employees.
Click Nominal Link, then click Next.
Click Next, then click Next again.
If required, in the Transaction Reference box, enter a transaction reference, then click Next.
If required, click Print, or click Send To Excel.
Click Finish.
To save the file, browse to where you want to save it, then click Save. Alternatively, click Cancel.
Click OK.

That's it, you've now created the file. If you need to post the next period to your Accounts software as normal, you can now change the destination back to your normal option.
