The Adjust Posted Entries option, which is accessed under the Options menu in General Ledger, is a great alternative for making corrections instead of completing manual journal entries. The Adjust Posted Entries option is used to correct (change) an account number included on the following posted items:
The Adjust Posted Entries option is simple to use. When completing the Adjust Posted Entries option, reversing entries are automatically posted to the original account numbers, and then additional, correcting entries are posted to the newly, specified account numbers, using the same date as the original entries. If correcting an account number on an employee’s Payroll check using the Adjust Posted Entries option, only the salary expense account number is able to be adjusted (changed), because the system automatically adjusts the benefit expenses using the appropriate accounts.
One advantage for making corrections using the Adjust Posted Entries option, as compared to completing manual journal entries, is that the correcting entries from the Adjust Posted Entries option are reflected in the applicable options and reports within the corresponding modules (with one exception—the account numbers on the entries in the Payroll data entry batches will still reflect only the original account numbers on the applicable listings while all the Payroll calculation reports will include the adjusting entries).
For step-by-step instructions on using the Adjust Posted Entries option, refer to the Adjusting Posted Entries topic in the Help File, or click here to view the tutorial demonstrating the Adjust Posted Entries option.

Microsoft® Retirement of Internet Explorer (IE11)
After June 15, 2022, Microsoft began its retirement of Internet Explorer and is being replaced by Microsoft Edge. As you might have already noticed, after this date, when launching IE11, you might be redirected to Microsoft Edge. For more information on the IE11 retirement, click here.
Internet Explorer was previously the recommended browser when logging into our School Accounting System-Online (SAS-Online) version. While IE11 was not a requirement for login to SAS-Online, it did provide a convenient single sign-on experience. With the retirement of IE11, here are a few tips for any PC users logging into SAS-Online:
If you have any questions, please contact Customer Support by submitting a support request through the School Accounting System, calling 800.756.0035 ext. 2 or by emailing support@su-inc.com.

Pat joined the support team in March 2022. She enjoys getting to know the customers and help them work through problems with the software. She likes spending her free time with family and friends. She also enjoys gardening, yard work, and cooking.
Each quarter we are excited to feature one of our customers who was selected randomly to be highlighted in our Customer Showcase. The customer being showcased this quarter is Kelly Allen who is the Board Secretary/School Business Official at AHSTW Community School District in Avoca, IA. We had these questions for her:
How long have you been using the School Accounting System?
• I’ve been using the software for 10 years now.
What module do you spend most of your time working in?
• I spend most of my time in General Ledger and Payroll, as I have someone who does Accounts Payable.
What is your favorite feature in the School Accounting System?
• Creating contracts for the new year and how it can copy information from the prior year. I like that there is the Create Payroll Wages for New Year option that can do it for a group of employees, or how you can do it individually on the Wages screen. I like the flexibility that it allows.
What are three words you would use to describe the School Accounting System?
• User-friendly, timely customer service, and efficient.
What is your favorite part of working at your district?
• The people I work with.
What are your hobbies?
• I like spending time with my family—not just my immediate family but also my siblings and in-laws.
If you could meet or interview one person (dead or alive), who would it be, and why?
• Tom Petty because I love his music. I listen to Sirius XM Radio Channel 31 and love “Cabin Down Below” and “Honey Bee” which are songs that were never on mainstream radio.
What is one piece of advice you would give someone who is new to using the School Accounting System?
• Don’t be afraid to contact customer support. It doesn’t matter how big or small, no question is a dumb question.
