Conversion guide: Sage 50 Accounting to Accounting CS

Verify the converted data

The Sage 50 Accounting to Accounting CS conversion program generates a PDF report that is saved in the Output Directory folder that you specify in step 4 of the conversion process. This report contains notes and information on changes you may need to make to the client data in Accounting CS. We recommend that you print this report after finishing the conversion process but before importing the client data into Accounting CS. You need to have Adobe Reader version 7.0 or later installed to view and print these reports. If the Adobe Reader is not already installed on your computer, go to

 in Accounting CS. This takes you to the Adobe website from which you can download and install the Reader.
While the conversion program is designed to convert your client data as accurately as possible, there are some instances when the conversion may not correctly convert all data due to data corruption or other anomalies within the Sage 50 Accounting data. Follow these steps to verify that your Sage 50 Accounting data has been converted correctly.
  1. Review informational messages, if any, that are displayed on the screen after the conversion has been completed and make all necessary changes.
  2. Open the converted client in Accounting CS, and make all necessary changes as noted in “Conversion notes and exceptions”.
  3. Print and compare the following accounting reports. If the information in the reports doesn’t match, you may need to adjust the data manually in Accounting CS. Other reports are available in both applications if you can't determine the discrepancy using the following reports. Refer to the Sage 50 Accounting help to print these reports.
