I have a couple of small things, that annoys me. 
 1. when generating a Financial Report, the Fiscal Year - Period keep a defualt of 2012 and we are in 2015, how can i change this> 
 
 2. when process AP or AR, whatever posting date i sent does not carry over. example, processing a voucher, i put in our posting date, and when i enter voucher and grab the next number, the date is of todays date and not the posting date.

1. When you open up the Financial Reports, set the options, hit the save icon, define the setting name and hit ok. You can have multiple settings and you can change the settings and resave any time. 
 2. You'll have to experiment. We choose not to use this and instead have staff trained to input these fields based on our business needs. 
 Sage has a great built in help feature that you may not know about. If you right click on a field, most times you'll see a What's this? link that opens up the Help topic specifically associated with that feature.

For item number one, you can save a setting using a unique name. I have one called Income Statement and define the Fiscal Year as 2015-12. Then when I want to generate the report for say April, I only have to scroll back a few months. 
 Item number two uses the current business date as the default. You can define the business date in the lower right hand corner of the screen but we have chosen to have the business date default to the system date.
