What Makes Sage to Zoho Books Migration Different
Sage's chart of accounts, VAT categories, and system accounts don't map one to one onto Zoho Books. A raw export creates mismatched balances that look fine, until reconciliation.
VAT201 Cutoff on the South Africa Edition
VAT201 reports don't generate for transactions before your migration date. We plan around this before we start.
Domestic Reverse Charge and VAT Audit Report Setup
Configured correctly from day one, two areas we regularly see set up wrong in DIY migrations.
