Sales Ledger
Keeping track of your customers

Whether you’re selling goods or services for cash or credit, the Sales Ledger keeps vital records - showing who customers are, what and when they buy, and how much they owe for how long.

Once information is entered it can be manipulated to help target sales and marketing activities, identifying your best customers, selling periods and territories. You can also offer special terms to individual customers through a powerful discount matrix. Instant access to payment histories lets you regulate credit, monitor debts and enhance cash flow. Sage Line 50 will even chase payment, automatically printing out debt-chasing letters if required.

Purchase Ledger
Helping you get the best value from your suppliers

The Purchase Ledger helps you get the best value from your suppliers, presenting all the facts in a clear and concise format. If your order values have increased you’re in a strong position to do business on your own terms - with better discounts and higher credit levels.

Nominal Ledger
Collating sales and purchases, overheads and assets

The Nominal Ledger brings together transactions and balances recorded in the other ledgers to create a chart of accounts to suit your specific requirements. A record of each Nominal Account lets you analyze activity graphically or by individual transactions. This ledger is always ‘live’ and automatically receives the latest information.

Sage Line 50 provides you not only with the basic tools of accounting, but offers you a much wider range of versatile features. All designed to make your business operate more efficiently, more productively, and more profitably.

Financials
Providing the information you need to run your business

The ability to analyze business performance over varying time scales is essential. Planning and decision making requires information that’s accurate and timely.

Sage Line 50 does all the hard work for you and provides your Management Accounts, VAT Return, and Budget Analysis automatically. You decide how and when you want information, Sage Line 50 does the rest.


Bank
Making your money work harder

Sage Line 50 will help you manage your most valuable resource - cash.

Have as many bank accounts as you require, and all transfers between accounts, recurring entries, reconciliations and the passing and the posting of receipts and payments are simple. You can send out statements, and a host of standard reports will provide information to analyze cash movements - ensuring you maintain full control.

Fixed Assets
Keeping track of what your business is worth

The Fixed Assets Register makes it easy to maintain records of all fixed assets and set up depreciation rates. At any time, you know what assets you hold, what they’re worth, where they’re located within you’re company or amongst employees. Assets can beg added or deleted at any time and depreciation is posted automatically at month end to your profit and loss account.

You have a choice of two methods of depreciation: Straight Line or Reducing Balance, and summary or detailed reports can be run at any time.


Stock
Staying in control

Too much stock can tie up working capital, too little can lose sales. Sage Line 50 helps you achieve the right balance with reliable and up to date information on every item in stock. This information can be called up quickly and easily, so you can see at a glance whether you’re maintaining the most profitable stock levels for your business. Sales performance is monitored by recording movements in and out of warehouse, highlighting fast and slow moving lines, and identifying the most profitable lines.

Invoicing
Saving you time, effort and manpower costs

Sage Line 50 Invoicing gives you very real gains in productivity, saving time and manpower to make your whole system smoother and more accurate. Prices, discounts and VAT are calculated automatically - and every invoice is also automatically cross-referenced to keep the Sales, Nominal and Stock Control Ledgers up to date.

Credit notes can be raised as easily as invoices - and for large quantities of invoices, there’s a batch data entry option. To project a more professional image, Sage will even personalize your invoices free of charge to save you time.

Order Processing
Handling sales and purchase orders quickly and efficiently

Efficient order processing is important to customer satisfaction, and Sage Line 50 lets you keep a close eye on the status of all orders received and placed.

On the spot, Sales Order Processing gives your order-takers all the information needed to confirm orders and to arrange delivery and invoicing - including stock levels, prices and customer details. When an order is placed with a supplier, Purchase Order Processing monitors progress.

Report Generator
Measure performance and keep control of your business

Sage Line 50 helps you measure performance with more than 75 pre-set report templates covering all aspects of your business activity. You can also quickly and easily create reports specific to your needs, with a wealth of additional formats. The Report Generator gives you total access to retrieve, re-sort and print out all the information in your system, in the way you want it.
