Configure Sage Accounts Production

In order to successfully transmit information between Accounts Production and Control Centre, there are two things that need to be set up properly in the Accounts Production application.

Firstly, the clients you wish to transfer must have been created using the latest standard master datasets for sole traders, partnerships and corporations (found on the Accounts Production v3.4 CD) in order for the transfers to work correctly. If you are using old standard datasets, the Data Link may not know where to find it's data and this will result in data being transferred into the wrong fields (i.e. the name may appear in the phone no. field etc). This will happen no matter whether data is being transmitted to or received from Accounts Production.

Secondly, you must ensure that the Data Link is activated in Accounts Production. To do this, go to the Define Standard Settings window on the Utilities menu. Here select the Registration tab and ensure that the Data Link tickbox (found on the right hand side of the form) is ticked.

Now you should be ready to transfer your data between Accounts Production and Control Centre.
