Posting Method

The posting method determines how Sage 50 processes transactions to journals and the general ledger.

You can choose between:

Real-Time Posting: Transactions are posted to the journals and the general ledger when Save button is selected after they are entered. Most companies use this method.

Batch Posting: Transactions are saved by the program and posted in a group when Save button is selected after they are entered. When you use batch posting, you can print registers and check the batch of transactions before posting them to the journals.

SmartPosting: Transactions are saved by the program and then automatically posted by the SmartPosting service. The service regularly cycles through the database looking for transactions to post. You do not have to actively post the transactions since the service does it for you.

You can switch posting methods at any time.
