Creating Departments in SAGE 50 Premium

Question

Hello! I am new to SAGE and to this group. I just started a new position where SAGE is used. I would like to improve the reporting and analysis for my organisation, and an easy way to do this would be to introduce departments. Currently only one dimension is used in GL accounts. Since we are starting a new fiscal year, I feel this is the perfect time to set up departments ! So, is this possible in Sage or am I dreaming? And if it is possible. where to I find the "how to"? 
 Thank you very much in advance, H.

Hi HPY: 
 Creating departments is quite easy if you have Sage 50 Premium or higher. Go to menu items Setup, Settings, General and Departments. From there tick off the box Use Departmental Accounting and begin to create your departments then assign accounts for your departments. One word of caution once you change to Departmental Accounting there is no going back to accounting without departments unless you do a backup prior to turning on Departmental Accounting. 
 Hope this helps!
