How to apportion different sales/purchases in sage
Permalink Closed


Hi

I have a customer who supplies fitted kitchens and invoices custoemrs for the full service.  He has also started selling eg carcases/ovens etc on a 'supply only' basis.  

Just wondered if there is a way of showing the different sales and also related costs in Sage.  

I did a dummy run of setting up separate N/codes for the different sales and purchases but when I run a P&L the income /costs are just lumped together under sales/purchases.   I am doing something wrong or is there another way to show this?

Chesh

You are doing the right thing by setting up separate nominal codes for the different sales and costs. Your problem is that the chart of accounts is probably set up to group together all of the codes you have used for sales, and all of those for direct costs. You can edit this by going to the nominal ledger and clicking on the Chart of Accounts icon along the top.

It pays to keep some things grouped together, but the groups can be more detailed than having all the sales codes lumped together and the same for the direct cost codes.

I just had a play on Sage, took me a few goes, mostly cos when I opened new nominal accounts I had forgotten to switch the screen to the new Chart of Accounts I had set up, so was putting them in the wrong 'pockets'.... DOH! But yey, it works and was actually easy (when you know how!) Always easy to learn by doing it and making mistakes. Thank you for the advice Vince.
