Create bank transactions from bank feeds or an imported file

Summary

How to process transactions using bank feeds or imported bank statements, saving time compared to manual entry, in Sage Accounting.

Each transaction shows in your bank feed, oldest first. For money out of the account, the amount is in red.

Decide how to process each transaction. Use the Match, Create, or Transfer buttons in the middle of the transaction.

We'll cover using the Create option. Use this option to record payments on account, other receipts/payments and refunds.

Consider setting up bank rules to process these transactions automatically, based on your predefined criteria.

From Banking, select Transactions on the connected account.
Ensure you're on the Create tab.
The For field is optional, select the customer or supplier contact.
Select an appropriate nominal ledger from the What field.
Enter an optional transaction Reference.
Select the payment method from the Method field.
Select the appropriate VAT rate.
To break down your entry into different ledgers and assign analysis types, select the split icon .

NOTE:

If you’re not VAT registered, you don’t need to use the split icon to select a department. Use the Department dropdown instead.
If the transaction is actually a refund, select Create a refund to convert the transaction.
Once you've added all the transaction information, select Create.

Once you Create your transaction, it will show in the Completed tab.
