Sage 200 Project analysis and reporting

The ability to extract detailed reports and analyse project proitability, costs and revenue is central to the Sage 200 Project Accounting offering. Sage 200 Project Accounting comes with a comprehensive set of reports and includes the ability to create new and customise existing reports (using the Sage 200 Report Writer).

The Project Accounting enquiries provide summary or detailed information as required - including the ability to drill-down onto the detail behind a Project. For example a user will be able to view the total cost for a Project and then drill-down to the underlying data associated with that cost. Criteria within the enquiries can also be used to fine tune the information required, for example to answer what if scenarios like what are the costs associated with a particular supplier across all or a range of projects? or on which projects has a particular employee worked in the past fortnight? A Sales Order or Quotation produced via the Sage 200 Sales Order Processing module can be used to create a project

Key Features and Benefits

  • Drill Downs/On Screen enquiries - From the main Sage 200 screen and throughout the system, key user specific business information is readily available. Intelligent drill downs allow you to view detailed information, to transaction level if required. Additionally you can drill across to view all related information. For example, you can view the Nominal Ledger as a Profit & Loss and Balance Sheet, drilling down to view nominal accounts and all related transactions. Drill down from the customer record to individual transaction and view or print associated order or invoice details.
  • Excel Integration - Enhanced Excel integration allows information from Sage 200 to be quickly and easily uplifted into an Excel spreadsheet without the need to re-key or manually export or import data. A library of Excel functions are supplied to allow financial and commercial information to be pulled into Excel for analysis. Sample spreadsheets are supplied for Profit and Loss, Balance Sheet and Key Performance Indicators. It is easy to amend these or create new spreadsheets to suit your own business.
  • Report Designer - Sage 200 is supplied with over 250 ready-made reports covering all aspects of the system, plus a wide range of documents such as credit letters and invoice layouts for everyday use in your business. With the inbuilt WYSIWYG Report Designer tool, you can easily customise these reports and documents or add new ones from scratch. The same Report Designer is used in Sage 200 as in Sage 50 accounts - so it will be familiar to anyone who has used Sage 50 before. New fields can be added using a wizard; using the in-built Expression Engine you can also add fields which calculate values ˜on the fly, based on custom formulae. In addition logos and other graphics can easily be added to customise your reports and documents. When you run a report, a powerful filter helps you select the information needed. This includes any appropriate custom analysis codes. For example, you could run a sales report based on a particular region or salesperson. You can save particular reports for future use and frequently-used reports can be added to the Sage 200 menu for easy access. Reports and other documents can be previewed, e-mailed, printed directly or sent to a print manager for printing at a convenient time. Access rights for the print manager can be set to ensure that sensitive documents are not accessed inappropriately.
  • Budgetary Control - A key strength of Sage 200 is its advanced budgetary control plus, its ability to analyse the performance of cost centres and departments within your business. Analysis of budgets versus actual can be viewed graphically, with the option of displaying up to five years of historical data and the coming year's budgets. By drilling down to the individual transactions you can easily see the detail behind those trends. Support is also provided for the consolidation of multiple companies, including those with different operating currencies.
