Sage 50 nominal Code report help ?
Posted: 31 Jul 2018, 13:05
Hi - i'am a bit of a sage novice - all self taught; but having some difficulty extracting some specific information from sage.
I have Sage 50 Accounts Essentials installed and running version 24.
I help run a construction company where we are developing a project ourselves and for everything where we spend money ie. materials, labour, administration, temporary plant hire, on is categorized in to nominal codes (between 5000-5999) and then to complicate matters further this is Broken up by department Codes - D0 to D12 (which allows me split up the cost of the job and different properties depending on which section cost is allocated.
Within my nominal codes i sometimes have 5 or 6 codes for one section eg: 5161 - Demolition - Materials, 5162 Demolition - Labour, 5163 -Demoliton Plant Hire, 5164 - Demolition Wast Away etc
If i run a nominal report it prints everything out for every nominal code i have and then breaks this up by department code. resulting in a 42 page report which isn't helpful.
But i want to run a report that will allow me to group nominal codes from a subcategory together. for example - Demolition (that figure takes in to account all the demolition nominal codes) so i can see look at a snapshot of how much i have spent on various parts of the job.
Is there a way to do this in sage without having to build a custom report?
many thanks
Alex
