Summary
Description
There may be times when your Aged Debtors/Creditor nominal code balance does not reconcile with and Aged Debtor/Creditor report. There are number of reasons why this may happen.
Please refer to the Sage 200 Standard Online or Sage 200 Professional help files for more details.
The problem is often linked to allocation dates on some transactions. The allocation date is the date used to tie two transactions together, so for example, if a sales invoice is dated after the report date, but has been allocated to a payment on or before the report date, this can cause discrepancies.
You can download reports to identify any of these transactions. These reports have been designed to help with reconciling the Debtor/Creditor control nominal code with an Aged Debtor/Creditor report.

Customer Reports
Aged Reconciliation - Allocation Dates - Customer - Finds any transactions dated after the report date with an allocation date on or prior to the report date which are causing discrepancies.
For example, SI dated 15/01/2021, allocated to SR dated 01/02/2021 with an allocated date of 31/01/2021. Aged Debtor report until 31/01/2021 will not show any balance as the invoice is no longer outstanding, however, Debtor Control nominal code on Trial balance for 31/01/2021 will only show SI balance as SR is dated 01/02/2021 causing these reports to imbalance.
