Accounting Ideas

Why would such a great Accounts Software company not include budget functionality. It should be standard in any accounting package.

Need the ability to enter budgets against accounts, and use the budget in the column selection in Sage Intelligence.

Would like to see an answer to why this is available in other countries?

We are just starting with Sage, but if it doesn't allow for budgets, we may also have to move on...

We need budgets to monitor costs, I am one person covering HR Admin and Accounts, along with responding to political issues to Government. I have introduced a number of time saving measures but I work part time.

I can prepare budget to actuals but this is time consuming.

I am looking for an alternative but cannot justify the cost of the next level of sage cloud based software.

Alternative suppliers are to be sourced if this is not added to the current software.

How is this available in other countries but not here?

Please update or we will have to move on been on Sage cloud since Jan 2021, but it doesn't meet the bill. Thanks Janine

Please make sage online work for budgets

Already exist and available for other country :

https://www.sage.com/en-ng/sage-business-cloud/accounting/features/budgeting/

Une fonction essentielle pour que je quitte acomba ;-)

Necessary features for a decent accounting solution ;-)

Is this available yet? It appears to be an advertised feature of the cloud version:

Cette fonction serait appréciée.

Ce serait vraiment pertinent. Merci

I wholeheartedly agree with this. I guess what you've never had you don't miss if you are new to Sage, but when you've worked for years with 50 Desktop and then transfer to this its a massive shock - it really needs some significant improvements.

I would like to customize the reports. Specifically, I want to customize the P/L report so that I can exclude certain accounts from reflecting on the P/L report.

PLEASE allow us to CUSTOMIZE reports

This thread started in Sep 2020. I am not sure how far it has progressed or how long we have to wait for "this idea likely to be coming your way" but as it is I echo the sentiments of the post from 26 Jan -ie "I have used Sage accounts PC based for over 25 years. 3 months in and wish I had never upgraded to this version"

Need more reporting.. or ability to create our own. I have used Sage accounts PC based for over 25 years. 3 months in and wish I had never upgraded to this version :(((( Missing a basic report in Aged Debtors - to sort from 1st of any month, to the 31st.. and export as a PDF like old Sage with the totals included. As it is now, its CSV file to excel, then I have to add the supplier totals.. :(

Much needed! Particularly budget reports, both overall and by department

Need more reporting - especially making your own

I agree we do need to be able to load budgets to manage spending, especially in times like these when businesses are severely disrupted by the pandemic

Including budgets and fixed assets is a must

Agreed here too - being able to add budgets for each ledger line on Sage Business Cloud would make monthly reporting for budget holders MUCH easier!

PLEASE...I am a Non-profit that needs to show my budget when reporting my Income Statement to the board of directors monthly.
