When you create a new company or use one of the company templates provided, your Sage Simply 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.
A History symbol beside an icon indicates
that you can enter historical transactions in the record.
Until you finish entering history, you can continue to change the account balances or other information you entered.
