History

When you create a new company or use one of the company templates provided, your Sage 50 Accounting company records need to be brought up to date with your company's historical financial information. Historical information includes account balances, vendor and customer invoice and payment information, employee year-to-date earnings, deductions, and expenses, and the quantity and value of inventory on hand.
