Sage – Additional & Hiding Columns

Additional & Hiding Columns

Sage has the ability to suppress columns which are not utilised, from the batch data entry window.  i.e. A/C, date, Ref, ex. Ref, N/C, dept, project ref, cost code, details, net, T/C & VAT.  These can be easily hidden by using the right mouse click option, then un-tick the column.  To show the column again just right mouse click and tick the option.
<h3>Some Columns explained:

A/C – partial entry will allow the active search pop up.  Or press F4 for main index.

The Date – influences which accounting month the transaction is posted to, which VAT return it appears on and the ageing of transactions.

Ref – Enter the invoice number, maximum of 30 characters for this field.

Details – is a 60 character field for additional information.  I the Active Search Popup feature is enabled it will show a list of previous entries.

T/C – the Tax code, this can be changed.

VAT – the VAT amount is calculated as soon as you enter the net amount, you can replace the automatic calculations with the value on the invoice where necessary.

For Example:

You are required to enter a supplier batch invoice.  On entering the batch area various columns that will not be used are displayed.  By moving your cursor to the “heading” line a drop down menu appears giving you the option to hide Ref, ex. Ref, N/C, dept, project ref, cost code, details. These are all options of “non critical” fields.
