When to delete reconciled transactions

Deleting reconciled transactions is a housekeeping process you can do on a regular basis to make sure that the volume of transactions on a bank account doesn't become too big.

When you delete reconciled transactions, the value of the deleted transactions is added to the bank account's opening balance. This maintains a running bank balance on the account.

Once you have deleted reconciled transactions they are removed from a number of Sage 200 screens. You won't be able to see the details of the transaction on the Account Enquiry or Bank Account Transaction Enquiry screens or workspaces.

However, you can see the deleted transactions on the following screens:

  • Customer Transaction Enquiry - if the transaction was received from a customer.
  • Supplier Transaction Enquiry - if the transaction was a payment to a supplier.
  • Nominal Account Transaction Enquiry - you must know which nominal account the transaction was posted to.
