Enter historical sales for your customers
Now that you've entered information about your customers, it's time to enter information about any outstanding transactions they may have with your business. These are sales you've made to them that haven't been paid in full, as of the first day of your conversion month; in MYOB Accounting Plus, they're referred to as historical sales.
Note: If you have historical sales for foreign customers
Use the following procedure to enter each of your customers' historical sales:
Repeat these steps for every sales transaction that hasn't been paid in full yet. When you're finished entering historical sales, the Out of Balance Amount field should be zero. Note: The total of the historical sales should equal the accounts receivable opening balance that you entered while using the Accounts Easy Setup Assistant.
If you use the MYOB Accounting Plus multicurrency feature, each currency will have its own linked receivables account. The amount that appears in the Total Linked Receivables Account Balance field is the balance for the currency selected. When you select a different currency from the Currency list, the balance of that currency will be displayed in the Total Linked Receivables Account Balance field.
You can use the Edit or Delete buttons to open the Historical Sale window for the highlighted transaction and change or delete the transaction, if appropriate.
If a non-zero amount is displayed in the window, see Out of Balance information for possible solutions for returning the amount to zero.
