The Income/Budget report compares income and expenses for a given time period to the amounts budgeted for. It displays the current month vs. budget and the current year vs. budget.
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. (Sage 50 Premium Accounting and higher) 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.
- Print Page Numbers: Checking this will print page numbers on the top right corner of the page. Both the page number and the number of pages are indicated. For example, if you are looking at page 2 of a 13-page document, it will display on the report as "Page: 2 of 13."
- Show Zero Amounts: Select this check box to show accounts with zero amounts.
- Print All Words Capitalized:Select this check box if you want the report to print in all capital letters.
- Right Margin/Left Margin:Enter the size of the margins you want, in inches.
- Center on Page: Select this check box if you want each page of the report to be centered on the page instead of left justified when it is printed.
- Number of Copies:Enter the number of copies you want to print. You can enter any number from 1 to 99.
