Budget Report

The Budget Report shows budgeted amounts for each account, by period.

You can show only one budget at a time on the report. (Sage 50 Premium Accounting and higher)

Options

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:

  • Dates: You can select to show all periods, this period, a range of periods, or this year. When you select Range, you can specify the periods in the From and To boxes.

Note: This report shows a maximum of four years of data. When choosing a Range, you must select dates that fall within a maximum of four consecutive fiscal years. For example, if your company uses a calendar fiscal year, you can select a range from March 2013 to March 2016. The range from March 2013 to March 2016 falls within four consecutive fiscal years (2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016).
