To increase performance and flexibility within Sage 50, you can choose to turn off certain options on the Accounting tab of the Maintain Global Options window. One such option is recalculating the cash balance each time you open the Receive Money, Payments, Write Checks, or Payroll Entry windows, or post/save a receipt, paycheck, or payment.

If you clear this check box, displayed cash balances are not automatically updated as you post or save receipts,payments, and payroll entries. This can speed up data entry. The cash balances in the Receive Money, Payments, Write Checks, and Payroll Entry windows display the word Uncalculated. While working in these task windows, select in the Balance field to update the balance.

If you select this check box, the Cash Balance fields in the Receive Money, Payments, Write Checks, and Payroll Entry windows are automatically updated as you post/save receipts, payroll entries, and payments. The balance will appear as of the date included on the task window.

Note: The default setting of this option is ON (that is, the check box is initially checked).
