Financial Statements offers an option to roll back up to 25 months. However, anything going back more than 12 months is garbage. Sage Support says this is not a glitch at my end. How can an accounting software not produce financial statements more than 12 months prior? Ridiculous.

  • Actually, your software CAN produce financial statements going back 10 years, and those "prior year" financial statements are easily created in the Financial Statement Designer module. Also, if you follow Sage year-end guidelines and create a File Tools backup just prior to closing the fiscal year, you can restore only the GL files to a new "GL 20XX Archive" data folder and run the 2 years of financial statements from that folder.

  • You shouldn't have to design anything, I agree with first post, this should not be a difficult task.

  • I agree. The way it is now is a real pain and we should not have to do anything other than specify the date range. A lot of the GL reports have issue similar to this.

  • I agree. While we have this setup to be able to print older financials based on the year-end copy it is not efficient nor what is expected of an accounting software to go to a backup to print a financial or a different report.
