Sage 50 Accounts 2009 New Features
In-built diary
An new in-built accounts diary helps prioritise the daily workload, sets reminders for recurring tasks, automates diary events (for example following up promised payments) and integrates with Microsoft Outlook.
You can also link tasks to your contacts so you always have all the details you need.
Improved dashboard
An enhanced dashboard provides an instant view of the credit position of your business. See where your money is, how old your customer or supplier debt is, what's due, what's overdue, what's disputed, what's promised to pay and what's still to be allocated all from one view.
Chase the right payments to keep your business breathing
Always know who you should be spending time chasing for payments; for example what’s overdue, when money is due in and who has promised payment.
Promised payments are automatically added to the diary so if they’re not received you’ll be reminded to follow them up.
Plan ahead to avoid the crunch
See who you need to pay based on supplier and age criteria helping you to understand your payment commitments in the coming weeks and months and helping you plan ahead.
Give the right person the right message… on time, every time
Different people like to be contacted at different times in different ways. You can now record and store names, telephone numbers, email addresses, office addresses, preferred contact times and mailing preferences for all of your contacts, all in one place.
Build your communications, build on your professionalism
Payment disputes? Information requests? All forms of contact can be recorded on your communication history together with a follow-up so you'll always have the right information to refer back to.
Whenever you generate a letter or statement, these details will be automatically recorded into the communication history.
Keep your customers and supplier relationships strong with flexible payment methods
Suppliers may insist on being paid in different ways. That’s why you can now do a cheque run for all suppliers who like to be paid this way, or an e-payment run for those who want BACS payments.
With Sage Payments Solution*, your customers will have an easier way to pay as well – directly by card. This can be done over the phone or even by Internet, then posted directly into your accounts to ensure that everything is kept up-to-date.
Quickly and securely run all your reports
New batch reporting allows you to create your own batches of reports and run them in one go. You can password protect any PDF file containing sensitive financial information to ensure only those with the authority can access these files.
Handle your transactions fluidly with improved Bank Reconciliation
Bank reconciliation is now easier than ever before. 'Smart Totals' allow you to see the value of any highlighted transaction. With a new in built retrospective bank reconciliation report, you can see the reconciled balance of your account at any given time – particularly useful at month and year-end.
Mistakes are natural, corrections are easy
Everybody makes mistakes, but correcting them has never been easier. You can now find, view, correct, or even delete transaction or postings at the touch of a button.
