Thanks for your post James. My colleague will come back to you with an answer as soon as possible.

thanks, Melissa

Hi James,

You can use departments to group transactions and to monitor costs or assess the profitability of individual departments/shops/branches in your business. You can check these figures on a month by month basis as well as an annual basis.

Youâ€re still able to report on your business as a whole too, as normal.

If required, you can change the name from Department to something more applicable to your company, e.g. Pharmacies:

• Settings > Configuration > Custom Fields tab > Departments Label > enter the required title > Apply > Close.

To access the Department module, Company > Department.

The Department module is available in the Sage Instant Accounts Plus v14 and above, meaning you donâ€t need to upgrade to Sage 50 Accounts and pay for features you wonâ€t use.

If youâ€d like to discuss an upgrade from Sage Instant Accounts to Sage Instant Accounts Plus, please contact our Sales team at [email protected] or on 0800 33 66 33. Their lines are open from Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm.
