Income/Budget-Period (Financial Statement)

The Period Income Statement Compared With Budget and Last Year report compares income and expenses for a given time period to budgeted amounts and amounts from last year. It displays seven columns: the current month actual and budget, variance amount and percent, current month last year, change from last year, and percent.

When you display or print a financial statement, Sage 50 displays the following options:

• Dates: You have the choice of a range of periods, current period, or current three periods. If you select a range, use the From and To list boxes.
• Budget: Select the budget to use for this report. (Sage 50 Premium Accounting and higher)
• Account Segments: You can use the Account Segments fields to limit the totals that appear on your financial statement to particular departments, divisions, or whatever other segments you have set up. Each segment of your chart of accounts will appear and you can select a particular segment by using the drop-down lists. If you do not want to limit the totals on the report, simply leave the selections set to All. With this setting, your report will show totals for all accounts, even those that do not match the account segment structure. This field can also be used as a sub-filter for a financial statement that is already filtered. For instance, you may have a statement that filters for a single division yet includes several departments. You can use this field to further filter for a single department. Should you inadvertently set up filtering that eliminates all data, Sage 50 will display a message warning you of this situation. Tell me more about Account Segments.
