Click the Options button to determine the data criteria for the reports you want to see or print. For this report Sage 50 displays the following filter options:

  • Date: You have the choice of All, Range, Today, This Period, and the week, month, period, quarter, and year to date. If you select range, you can enter a beginning and ending date.

Warning! If you choose a date range that contains purged transactions, the information on the report may not be correct. Purged transactions can only exist in closed years.

  • Sort by: This sorts by transaction date, transaction reference, or account IDs.
  • Summarize report: This prints the report in a summary form. It shows only the transaction date, the transaction reference, the transaction credit, and the transaction debit.
  • Select a filter: First, select a filter on the left. Then, define the options for that filter on the right. The options differ based on the filter selected. Tell me more about the types of filter options.
  • Include Accounts with Zero Amounts: Checking this will include those accounts with nothing in them.
  • Shorten Description: This shortens the transaction description to the width of the column.
