Good Morning

I am really struggling to edit a built in report in Sage 50.

The company I work for uses numerous job numbers to which all sales invoices and purchase invoices are tied to. For me to create their monthly accounts I need to be able to work out which for which projects we have invoiced and received costs against and then I can accrue accordingly. To do this I need to edit the built in Nominal Activity Report to add in a project name where there should be one. I know there is a report within projects which details out all the info regarding projects and costs/sales etc but I need one where I can export all nominal activity for a given month and if there is a project name attached then to return the relevant project and if not to leave the column blank.

I would be really grateful of any help with this matter as I tried to do this all day yesterday and the best I could come up with was my first nominal code being repeated for the whole report next to each and every job number we have listed out and no amounts at all.

I know it will be a case of adding in the correct join, which I would be able to do in SQL however, Sage 50 doesn't work with SQL and I am not familiar with the report designer format.

Thank you in advance.

Sage does use a SQL like arrangement to link tables, open up in report designer go to tools.joins and as you know SQL you should be able to link in tables and create joins form there.
