Report Customization

Is there an add-on or something out there that allows greater customization of reports within Sage 50 Canada (desktop)? It particular, being able to add % of revenue columns. I'm forever exporting to Excel and manually customizing. And then anytime there's any change at all, I have to manually go back and check all prior month numbers to make sure they're still accurate. Would love a way to create the reporting I need within Sage itself so any changes are automatically updated... Any suggestions?

Another question - is there a way to change an existing account's class? I'm wanting to update our Chart of Accounts. Currently existing due to shareholder accounts are set up as Asset class with #1000 account numbers. They are actually payable balances so I would like to change the account numbers to #2000s as well as the class from Asset to Liability, but the software won't allow this..

Thank you!

    For report customization:  I don't know of anything that will do this, but perhaps someone else does.

    For tidying up/moving things around in your existing chart of accounts:  This function is turned off in the 'end-user' version of the software, but is turned on in the 'accountant' version of the software.  So, if your business works with an accounting office, perhaps to prepare your year-end financial statements and business tax returns, you may want to touch base with them about getting the changes done.

    There is a report writer called XLGL published by Logicimtech https://www.logicimtech.com  This is an EXCEL add on which when connected to the Sage 50 dataset can produce reports on almost anything. If the data is in Sage 50 it can be reported. XLGL uses all the Excel power and reports can be written or modified as you wish without downloading to Excel. If necessary Pierre can even arrange to write a customized report for you at a reasonable cost. Follow the link and connect with them.

    On your second point, there is no way to transfer accounts from one class (Assets) to another (Liabilities) within the Sage 50 program.
