Compuland have been working with Sage for nearly 10 years ….and we are still learning new tricks!

If you use Sage I presume you know how you can easily sort data by just clicking the top of any column…especially useful to sort the companies that owe you the most money!

Or you can add columns of info….so to quickly check out email addresses for your debtors. Go to the column headings…right click and you will then see options of columns that you can add….and select email address…or select others columns that suit your business.

Or if you want to send out statements to all your debtors that owe you money you can do a search in Customers. In the Search Option select – Where, Balance, Is greater than, 0. Then select Swap, Then statements. And then they all print or better still email out.

However, we came across a new trick this week!

Above you can see how you can add or subtract columns…

But you can also add and subtract columns in different places.

So, for example – In the area where you want to Input Supplier Invoices you normally select a supplier account, accept the date and then hit the TAB button several times to get across .. so TAB across  Ref, Ex Ref, Project, Dept. etc. and then input supplier details and the amount. Can be quiet frustrating doing all the “tabbing”.

In these areas go to the column titles, right click the mouse and DESELECT the columns that you will not be using.

Then you will not have to waste time tabbing and hence become more efficient and thus save money!.

If you want any more tips like this then just reply to me     lydia@compuland.ie or my colleague alison@compuland.ie
