Sage 50 2024 New Release
Oct 16
Over the years, customers, vendors, and inventory items come and go. That means lists get cluttered up with obsolete records. While you can’t delete those customers, vendors, or inventory items as long as you still have transactions linked to them, there is an easy way to hide them so they don’t show in the drop […]
If you’re using Sage 50 2021, 2022, or 2023, this does not apply to you. Anyone on an older version needs to read this. I take seriously my responsibility to provide you with accurate information so you can make good decisions for your business. I’ve been researching this problem for quite a while now and […]
If you’re using version 2020.1 or older of Sage 50, you’ve probably already received warnings from Sage that parts of your software will stop working after 9/30/2023.

If you have custom reports written using Sage Intelligence Reporting, do not upgrade yet. Sage Intelligence Reporting is not included with, and does not work with Sage 50 […]
Memorized Transactions
May 18
Previously I’ve talked about setting up recurring transactions to automate transactions that occur on a regular schedule and with the same amounts each time. But many other transactions happen repeatedly but not a fixed schedule or maybe the amounts can vary each time. In that case, memorized transactions are the preferred solution. Memorized transactions are […]
Setting up multiple ship-to addresses for customers in Sage 50 (formerly Peachtree) is simple once you understand how to ship-to addresses relate to contacts.
Have you ever wished you had more space between columns on a spreadsheet, or between the cell contents and the cell border? Some people resort to inserting narrow empty columns between columns of data. But that interferes with the use of timesavers like keyboard navigation shortcuts or Fill Right, and doesn’t help if you’re using […]
