Sage 50 Tips
In Chapter 1, you backed up or saved Exercise 1-2. In
order to begin where you left off, [if necessary] restore
data from Exercise 1-2. Restoring allows you to start
where you left off after completing Exercise 1-2.
Sage 50 includes the special journals; for example, the
Payments window is the Cash Disbursements Journal;
the Purchases/Receive Inventory window is the
Purchase Journal.
The work in Chapters 1-7 is cumulative. Chapter 7’s
financial statements reflect within chapter activities and
end-of-chapter exercises.

Sage 50 Tips
From the menu bar, select Options; Global to change the global
settings. If the boxes in the Hide General Ledger Accounts area are
checked, then general ledger accounts are hidden. Make sure the
boxes in the Hide General Ledger Accounts section are unchecked
so that there is a GL Account field on the Purchase Orders,
Purchases/Receive Inventory, Payments window and others.

Sage 50 Tips
Sage 50 defaults to hiding the general ledger
accounts. This is called Accounting Behind the
Screens.
The illustrations in the book show the general
ledger accounts. This means there is a GL
Account field on the Purchase Orders,
Purchases/Receive Inventory, Payments, Sales
Invoicing, and Receipts windows.
Once you set global options for one company,
they are in effect for all Sage 50 companies.

Accounts Payable System, p. 57
Sage 50’s Accounts Payable System provides the summary information needed for the
entry that credits Accounts Payable and debits the various asset and expense accounts
that the vendor invoices represent. Since Bellwether Garden Supply buys on credit from
a number of vendors, the company keeps close track of the amount owed and the due
dates of the bills. The Navigation Bar’s Vendors & Purchases selection shows the
accounts payable module or accounts payable system.

Purchase orders, p. 60
Purchase orders are used to place an
order with a vendor. Purchase Orders,
abbreviated PO, authorize the vendor to
ship the ordered merchandise at the
stated price and terms.

Coding system, p. 71
A combination of letters and numbers
that are used to identify customers
and vendors. A coding system is set
up for Bellwether Garden Supply’s
vendors. Bellwether’s coding system
uses uppercase letters; for example,
Armenta’s Landscaping is coded as
ARMENTA.
11 of 16
Case sensitive, p. 71
Refers to the use of lowercase and uppercase
letters. When coding a customer or vendor, you
should be consistent in the use of either capital or
