Setting up of General Ledger Financials Go Live
On the Old System:
- Work out the Cut off Date off the old system
- On the old system try and close off your financial year.
- Enter the adjusting general ledger journal provided by your accoutant and then run the P&L Appropriation for that financial year.
- DO NOT REMOVE YOUR OLD SYSTEM. Readysell relies on you to have access to your historical reporting.
- The customer then needs to decide if they want to bring over 1 financial brought forward journal or 2 individual journals. What this means is, that the site can bring over the closing positiion for the period that the P&L roll was just performed for along with a separate journal for only the Movements for the current financial year
OR
Just one journal for the movements for the current calendar year and use the old system for historical reporting and referencing back to. - With the Journals provided, the figures for Accounts receivable, accounts payable, each Bank account and stock on hand must line up to the imported data from the Old system.
On Readysell V8:
- Delete any dissections prior to the Go live date
- Run a Trial Balance on Readysell 8 to check that there are no transactions that have been entered and back dated to prior the go live date
- If there has been backdating into Readysell V8 since the conversion date, work out what needs to be done and what there are transactions that have been backdated.
- Once you have a clear general ledger, a brought forward journal needs to be manually entered into Readysell V8 to stand for the closing general ledger of your old system
- You will need to run off a General Ledger Balance Sheet or Trial Balance up to the conversion date off you old system, once again work out what financial year you want to start Readysell 8 in
- This journal has to be dated correctly
- Check that the imported data for Accounts receivable, accounts payable, stock and all bank accounts balance to the general ledger account figure in the brought forward journal
