How to Display Account Balance in Sage 200 Nominal List

In this example, the Stocks – Finished Goods nominal code is currently showing a balance of 0.

This is quite a common issue with new nominal codes, as there’s a tick box which is quite easy to miss during the setup process.

To fix this, highlight the Nominal Code and press Amend Account at the top of the screen.

This screen should be familiar, as the details are the same when you set up a new nominal code.

Tick the Display A/C balance in nominal selection box checkbox.

Click Save and then Close.

To see the changes, press Refresh List at the top of the screen.

As you can see in the screenshot, the balance is now showing.
