As in Sage 50, and in other competitor cloud products, can we run P&L reports across multi analysis types, for example:
All 'Departments' in one report, presented one after another in sequence (e.g. Nominal Activity Departmental Analysis in Sage 50)
All 'Departments' in one report, presented side-by-side with the X axis (columns) being the Departments or Analysis Types, and the Y axis (rows) being the nominals for income and expenditure - this would allow at-a-glance comparison of income or spend across various departments (e.g. Profit and Loss by Class in QuickBooks)
Perhaps an enhancement of the 'Intelligence' report builder could enable us to do this, if functionality were included to allow reports to be designed which filtered by Analysis Type.
Thanks

SAGE - I called today with regards this exact issue and posted an idea on the subject which has now been merged into this string as it is exactly what everyone else is asking for.
Quite surprised to see that the initial request is from June 2020, 3 years ago and with the amount of requests for this to be done, yet nothing has, you state that it is a greta idea that is currently in the works, how much longer do we have to wait for this, can't be that difficult if like someone has said below it is already in place on SAGE 50....
Come on SAGE, let's get it done!!!!!

The would be a good basic addition

These enhancements would be very useful

Please think about giving us one detailed report by department type rather than date order. This was available in my old accounts package, Sage 50 but not here. A real headache and very time consuming having to do a report for each department when you are having to claim gift aid. Please fix this Sage.

Is there any update on this? I really need to do cost-centred based analysis on Sage cloud for a new company I've just taken over the accounts for.
Is there no way to analyse either through departments or funds - I used both in Sage 50 for a previous organisation - to identify which income stream each transaction related to.

I agree that this cloud version of Sage is a backward step from Sage 50Accounts Plus and that this type of report is vital for Charity/CIC organisations to report to funders. Sage take note and upgrade this reporting functionality as a priority

Having a report by project where you can select GL codes is a must for improvements. The platform is not nearly as sophisticated as Sage 50. I wish I never moved over.

As a Community Interest Company we use the Departments to manage each of our projects from funders. In our bids we stated that we used Sage as we believed that this gave us credibility. We can give our funders a Profit & Loss Account but are unable to give them the detail of the transactions which is extremely embarrassing. I have tried a nominal activity report and used the more function but this does not work correctly as not all the transactions are included on the report. On speaking to Sage this reporting is low priority and they do not see it as a necessity for managing an organisation. As we cannot give our funders the information they require we are going to have to look at other software providers

Disappointing. This seems quite a basic requirement and we would have hesitated signing up for Sage Online had we known it wasn't available - especially as we are now told that it is on Sage50!
Sage - please make an upgrade a priority!

We need this as soon as possible even if initially we only have a CSV file that can be exported to a spreadsheet. Until this is ready we have to put customers who need this kind of analysis on QuickBooks.

I would like to be able even to get a simple report (P&L or NomLedger) split out by project. It just isn't feasible to have to do a csv report singly and then join them altogether on one for the client to see. I had assumed this would be automatically available but apparently not.

it's a good point about ending up with too many columns in the second report... having a tickbox of analysis types rather than always including all would enable the user to control this.
Attachments Open full size
the easiest way to achieve this would be to add a column to the nominal activity report for each active analysis type. This would at least enable the user to export the data and do the analysis themselves in excel. The fact we have put this data in sage but can't get it out is infuriating especially when you look at sage's competitors.

Would love to be able to search a project while inputting a PL or SL. Nightmare having to search through a list of 100's of projects!

My particular request would be that both Nominal Transaction reports and Audit Trail reports should have an option to display and sort by department. P&L analysis already exists but does not appear to drill down effectively. How soon can we expect these improvements to be offered. Database analysis is normally very simple, so hopefully should not take long?

departmental Trial Balance report would be very useful. pleasssseeeee.....

Great ask!
Would it be one or the other or are both methods (in rows and Columns) needed?
Also would having all Projects in a single report be needed or would being able to compare a subset of these projects at a time suffice? So if for example: If you were able to run a P&L for 10 projects at a time across your columns ... would that be sufficient?
Would you want to be able to add two layers of comparison against Analysis Types to a P&L? So for example, would you want to be able to have a top group of Analysis Type 1 (e.g. Projects) and then a second level group of Analysis Type 2 (e.g. Region) grouped under the top level?

This would be very helpful. I need to be able to drill down into my profit/loss reports so the analysis types are more detailed., for example, rather than a lump of money against materials, it would be good to see how that breaks down into timber, bricks, doors, sanitaryware etc

About 2 days ago I put a similar suggestion for departmental TB. A departmental or based on other Analysis types, this will be very useful report esecially to assess how each department is performing.

AGREED: This would be VERY HELPFUL. We need a report showing the revenue by ALL projects. We can view by a single project but we are nearing 100 projects and calling them up individually is impossible.
