SAGE / Peachtree is accounting software that is similar to Quickbooks. It is a desktop client that is installed on a windows PC / Server. It has all your typical accounting functionality like Invoicing, Accounts Receivable…etc.
SAGE comes with a set of canned reports, but companies ALWAYS need to produce Custom Sage Reports / Dashboards / KPIs to get the business / accounting metrics they need. This could be Inventory, Sales, P&L statements, Purchase Order Reports….
SAGE uses a Pervasive SQL database which stores the data. To get data out of SAGE and produce custom reports, you need to connect the database and extract data in a useful way. Connecting to the database may require the proper database drivers.
There are various ways to get custom reports within SAGE:
