Overview
Readysell has a set procedure for bringing data into your Readysell 8 financials from your existing system. We always follow the procedure below. We use this procedure when you convert to Readysell 8 financials. At the time your Readysell 8 system goes live and even if you are converting to Readysell 8 financials at some time after your initial Readysell 8 conversion.
...
| Warning |
|---|
DO NOT DELETE your old System or its Database. You will be referring back to any previous history for the previous financial year. You will also need our old system to reprint invoices and for other historical data lookup. If you need to pay licence fees to keep access to your old system, we suggest you do so until your financials are fully setup and running in Readysell and the need for any invoice reprints or other reports from you old system is no longer required. |
Financial go live dates
Before we start any work on financials, we have to know the financials go live dates for Readysell 8Readysell. Normally those start dates are the same dates that you converted to Readysell. But the decision is up to you. Some sites decide to never use some Readysell financials, such as bank reconciliations, payroll etc. It is all up to you, but make a considered decision about when you want to go live (or not) with the following financial features. Remember, if you do not go live with some financial features from the first day you start using Readysell, it in some cases will take a lot more work to get started if you do decide to use those particular financial modules later:
- Bank reconciliations
- General ledger
- GST Reporting
- Debtors
- Creditors
- Payroll
- (Soon Asset Register)
Procedure
GST Reporting
- If you used any Readysell GST items in preparing your previous GST reports before the financials GST go live date. We need to keep the GST items but flag them as reported to the tax office. To do this , all GST items dated before the GST reporting go live date need to be included in one GST Batch and flagged as reported.
- If you did not use any Readysell GST items in preparing your GST reports before the GST go live date. Then Readysell will delete all GST items before the Readysell financials GST go live date
GST Paid and receivable reasonableness test
- If the GST payable and/or receivable figures on your closing general ledger trial balance from your old system are not reasonable. Readysell will let you know that the figures do not seem reasonable. But we will continue and process the information as usual.
Optional Balancing for Full Readysell only, adding two balancing GST items
The balance in your GST payable general ledger account and your GST received general ledger account must equal the sum of all GST items at all times
...
Importing General Ledger balances into Readysell using general journals
Always close the previous financial year, even if your accountant has not yet approved the end of year position
...
Note, keep your old system running, as you will need the old system to look up general ledger history before the date of your conversion to Readysell. You will also need your old system to reprint invoices from before you converted to Readysell.
Handling prior year adjustment journals from your accountant
After the conversion date to Readysell, you may receive a list of prior year adjustments from your accountant. If this happens:
Enter the sum of all revenue and expense adjustments into the profit and loss appropriation account as at the last day of the previous financial year
Clearing old general ledger balances out of Readysell 8 prior to your financials go live date
If you have been using Readysell 8 for a period of time before you start to use Readysell 8 financials. Then there will be some existing financal data in Readysell 8 prior to your financials go live date. That existing data will need to be cleared, including:
...
Every unpresented item outstanding on your old bank rec for each bank account as at the end of trading on the last day before your Readysell 8 financials go live date
