Session Date

The session date is the date associated with the current work session. You enter this date when you start Sage 50 Accounting, and the program uses it as the date on the transaction.

The session date is also:

  • The date used to group transactions into the aging categories you use for purchases and sales reports.
  • The "as-of" date—the date from which amounts are accumulated for some reports such as inventory stock levels and the Employee Summary report.
  • The date that Sage 50 Accounting prints on customer statements. (Individual transactions are listed on statements with the dates on which they were entered.)
