Sage 50 2010 – Recurring Entries in Bank Module

Technical-supportA small issue has been identified in Sage 50 Accounts 2010 within a subset of recurring entries in the Bank module.  This is isolated to a small number of customers who have upgraded to Sage 50 Accounts 2010 who are using bank recurring entries and does not affect new customers.

Who does it affect?

Only customers upgrading from a previous version of Sage Accounts to Sage 50 Accounts 2010 will be affected. New customers installing for the first time will not be affected.

What you need to do

For new customers, it is business as usual however we are advising existing customers not to install their upgrade until the update is available.  In the meantime, do not use the recurring entries in the Bank module however, you can continue to process any other transactions.

A fix should be available shortly and Sage will be in touch to let you know as soon as this is ready.

What Sage is doing

Currently working on an update to fix the issue which will be made available via the auto-update service soon. Customers are being advised not to upgrade until this is available. Sage will be contacting customers directly to advise them of the issue.
