Step 1. Compare your main reports

To confirm your data has migrated correctly, do a quick check of your main financial reports. You don’t need to review every transaction, just ensure the totals match between systems.

Reports to check

Profit & Loss, Balance Sheet and Trial Balance

  1. In the Reporting menu, select Reports.
  2. Find the correct report (use the search bar if required).
  3. Set the date range as your migration window and compare totals with Reckon Accounts.

For Balance Sheet & Trial Balance please ensure accounting method is set to accrual.

Step 2. Check unpaid invoices & bills

Let’s double-check your unpaid invoices and bills to make sure your customer and supplier balances are accurate after migration.

Reports to check

Accounts Receivable Summary & Accounts Payable Summary

  1. In the Reporting menu, select Reports.
  2. Find the correct report (use the search bar if required).
  3. Set the ‘As at’ date to ‘As at today’ and compare totals with Reckon Accounts.

Spot check 2 - 3 customers and suppliers

  1. In the Contacts centre menu, select Customers.
  2. Spot check details.
  3. In the Contacts centre menu, select Suppliers.
  4. Spot check details.

Step 3. Quick settings check

Once the numbers look good, quickly check your setup.

  1. Click on the Administration menu (cog icon in the top right menu), then select Settings.
  2. In the General section, select Book settings. Check that business details and the financial year is correct.
  3. In the Tax section, select GST settings. Check that the GST reporting period and accounting method are correct.

Step 4.  Check bank accounts & reconciliation

Let’s make sure your bank accounts are set up correctly by checking your last reconciliation in Reckon Accounts and applying those details in Reckon One.

  1. In Reckon Accounts, go to Banking, then Reconcile and select the bank account. If you’ve previously reconciled, you’ll see:
  • Beginning Balance (your last reconciled balance)
  • Last reconciled on (the date of that reconciliation)  

Use these details in Reckon One as:

  • Statement closing balance = Beginning Balance
  • Statement closing date = Last reconciled on date
