Please see below some of the new features that have been introduced in Sage Line 50 version 10. There are four different levels of line 50 to choose from - for a comprehensive list of all the features in the range please go to "feature list" as indicated in the tool bar above.
 |
NEW look and feel - The look-and-feel of the latest Sage Line 50 mirrors the evolution of Microsoft Windows. For example, information is more closely connected, it's easier to move back to where you were before, and there's less need to click between screens. But not everyone prefers the changes in Windows, so you can also choose to keep the classic look-and-feel of Sage. |
|
NEW My business set-up - The new Sage Line 50 provides different default settings to suit different types of businesses. As a result, you can set up the software to suit your particular business – tailoring the content and layout of screens. It all takes just a fraction of the time compared to changing every setting manually. |
 |
NEW Foreign Currency Price Lists - For the first time, the new Sage Line 50 allows you to enter price lists in foreign currencies as well as in Sterling. For example, you can now set your price at an attractive euro 49.99 instead of a random price (euro 49.52 or euro 50.06) that's determined by fluctuations in the exchange rate. (Available in Sage Line 50 Financial Controller only) |
|
NEW Batch conversion of Quotes and Pro-formas - Many businesses create quotations in Sage Line 50 and then convert them into orders once the potential clients have approved them. For the first time, there is now a single screen showing all quotations and proformas; it's very easy to select some and convert them into orders. This feature will save a lot of time if you deal with a large number of quotations. (Available in Sage Line 50 Accountant Plus and Financial Controller) |
|
NEW Smart Link - The new Sage Line 50 can save you a lot of time by linking together different types of information that you may need. For example, you might want to see both a supplier's contact details and their invoice history. The program provides tabs that allow you to move effortlessly from one to the other. |
|
NEW Repeat invoices and Orders - With the new Sage Line 50, you can repeat invoices and orders at regular intervals without having to retype all the details. It's ideal for situations where you might be billing the same amount every month, for example: rent, membership fees, or payment in instalments. If you use Sage Line 50 Financial Controller you can also create recurring sales orders and purchase orders. |
|
NEW Accounts Analyser - The Accounts Analyser unlocks information in the Nominal Ledger that underlies your Profit & Loss summary and Balance Sheet. A simple ‘tree' format allows you to drill down to detailed data about your most important accounting areas: sales, purchases, direct expenses, overheads, assets and liabilities. |
|
NEW Audit Assistant - The automatic Audit Assistant will help verify your accounts before the arrival of external auditors – so they can work more quickly and cheaply. It runs through a 21-point check list, including verification that you've paid the right amount of VAT, and that you haven't paid a supplier twice. This feature contains a suite of VAT audit reports approved by HM Customs and Excise. |
|
NEW Cashflow Planner - It's extremely useful to know exactly how much money will be in your bank account in the days or weeks ahead. The new Sage Line 50 shows your estimated cashflow at a glance, helping you plan how best to manage your money. |
