Hi Ninanamoru

Since you do not see Departments there it tells me you are using Sage 50 Pro. Departments are only in Sage 50 Premium and Sage 50 Quantum.

Thanks for that - I guess that would be it.

Do you have any other suggestions what to use in Sage Pro to track invoices, accounts for our 2 locations separately but  which  I could pull reports for come YE etc.

Many thanks

Hi Ninanamoru,

You may consider setting up the 2 locations as 2 different projects.  When you do purchase and sales, you can allocate expense and revenue to the 2 projects.

When you need to know the revenue and expense of individual location (or project), you can go to Reports, Project, Income.

Hope this helps

As Keith suggested, you should set up Projects.  

Even if you had an Edition of Sage 50 that had Departments available, you would need to use Projects if you both locations use common or shared:

- products or services, or

- Employees, or

- customers, or

- vendors.

Think of Departments like how an auto dealer works - There could be separate New and Used vehicle departments, a Parts department, a Service department, and an Auto Body shop, maybe a building / lot maintenance department.

The sales people don't sell parts (but do sell accessories) so you can divide everything along lines of different SKUs, Employees, Customer records, and Vendors.  

Using Departments to keep track of separate business locations could work, but only the extent that the 4 ways of dividing departments automatically are possible.  If you can't divide up all 4, the report results will be mixed together, and might not be useful.

Thank you for your help - I will give projects a try.
