Set up Sage Business Cloud AccountingOnce you’ve exported your data, you need to check a couple of things in Accounting so you’re ready to import. Check your default sales and purchase nominal ledger accountsIn Sage Accounts, you can enter default nominal ledger accounts in your customer, supplier, product and service records. The default sales nominal ledger account code is normally 4000 and the purchase ledger account is 5000. This is the same in Accounting. If you don’t use these defaults for your records, for example, you may use 4001 or 5001, you must create these codes in Accounting before you import your data. If you don’t, the import will fail. To create a new nominal ledger account you can follow the steps in this guide. If required, you can also use your Trial Balance report you printed earlier to create any additional nominal ledger accounts you might want to use. Check your VAT scheme and start date- Click Settings and then click Accounting Dates & VAT in the Financial Settings section.
- In the Accounts Start Date field, enter the date you want to start using Accounting from.
 EXAMPLE: if you stopped using your previous accounting system on 30 September, enter 1 October. You can’t enter any transactions before this date, only opening balances.
- Select your VAT scheme then click Save.
You are now ready to import your data into Sage Business Cloud Accounting.
