Sage 50 Accounts Professional v24

We have created add-ons and bespoke solutions to give our customers the extra functionality within their Sage software. Explore our modules which can aid you when working with Sage 50 Accounts.

• Purchase Order Control (POC)

  Set up an authorisation process to maintain control over your purchase orders (PO) with our POC add-on.

  By giving specific users set authorisation limits, it not only increases the control of business purchases, but it also allows peace of mind that correct purchase orders are authorised by the relevant people.

• Auto-backup Monitor

  Auto-backup Monitor alerts you (and any other specified persons) by email when any errors or warnings are reported after a scheduled Sage Accounts backup is taken.

  If errors are reported, you can quickly and easily log your accounts users out and restore the last error-free backup, reducing downtime caused by data corruption.

• Credit Controller

  Save time chasing up payments by monitoring your outstanding invoices and sending out reminders at set times with our Credit Controller, boosting your efficiency by allowing the automated emails to do the admin work for you.

  You can choose the credit terms, so you have the peace of mind that customers will not be accidentally chased for payment. We know how each business needs to be treated independently.

• Bulk Importers

  Do you spend time inputting data in Excel or a CSV file? With a click of a button we can import all this for you into your Sage 50 Accounts!

  Our importers range includes:

  • Invoice and Credit Note Importer
  • Transaction Importer
  • Sales Orders Importer
  • Purchase Orders Importer
  • Bill of Materials (BOM) Importer

• Code Changers & Mergers

  * Running software like Microsoft Exchange or Microsoft SQL Server on a Small Business Server will reduce the performance of Sage over a network. We are currently investigating the cause of this issue.

  Note: Please ensure all the latest Microsoft Service Packs and Updates are installed.

  Note: Due to a small number of customers seeing performance issues we don't recommend the use of Microsoft Small Business Server (SBS) 2011 or 2008 with Sage 50 Accounts v22. The installation of Sage 50 Accounts v22 on SBS is blocked by default but, if required, you can still install the software by following the steps in article 32387. For further information on SBS 2011, please refer to article 30792.

• Hardware
  • 2 GB RAM (4 GB RAM if running a 64-bit operating system).
  • 2GHz processor or higher
  • 5GB of free disk space
  • 1Gbps network (100mbps minimum)
  • Screen resolution of 1024 x 768

  
  

  Note: Performance is improved with higher specification PCs and networks. A Netbook PC, running an entry level operating system, will require less advanced hardware. Sage 50 Accounts uses the Sage System Checker when you install the software. This checks that your PC meets the recommended requirements for Sage 50 Accounts. If you have any further queries about this, please refer to article 27858.

• Office integration
  Note: You only need to install Microsoft Office to use certain features in Sage Accounts that it integrates with. For example emailing invoices and reports, exporting to excel etc.
