Do I need to map columns when importing into Sage?
Most Standard Bank to SAGE conversions use Sage's standard column structure, so column mapping is usually automatic. However, if you are using a customized Sage chart of accounts or specific account codes, Sage may prompt you to map transaction categories to your account structure during the import process. The date, amount, and description fields are automatically recognized.
Can I convert multiple Standard Bank statements at once to SAGE?
Yes, you can batch convert multiple Standard Bank statements by uploading them sequentially. Each statement will be processed into its own SAGE file with the original statement period clearly labeled. This is particularly useful for catching up on historical data entry or reconciling multiple months of transactions. The converted files can then be imported into your accounting software in chronological order.
