Sage 300 Provisional Posting

When finalising your accounts during month end or year end, it may be required to create and post journal entries. For example, accruing for expenses, expensing off prepayments, depreciating assets, etc,

Provisional posting in Sage 300 is a useful feature that allows you to see the effect of these entries on your accounts before actually committing it permanently.

Provisionally posted entries are kept separate from your usual entries, but can be included in normal General Ledger reports.

Entries that are provisionally posted can be edited before posting permanently.
