Sage 50/Peachtree Tip - Which Customers Buy This Product or Service?
Have you ever wanted to know which customers buy a particular product or service? If you're using Sage 50 Premium or Quantum (sorry Sage 50 Pro users, but this might be a good reason to upgrade) it's easy. In fact there are two ways find this information, and both of them are overlooked by many users.
INVENTORY MANAGEMENT CENTER
The Inventory Management Center can be the source of a lot of great information because there are 23 different sections you can choose from to help you get at the information you need. And you can further customize most of those sections. To get to the Inventory Management Center, click on the
Inventory And Services tab on the left navigation bar, then click on the
Inventory/Service Management tab near the top of the window. Here you can select an item to see information related to it. The default settings show you Item/Service Information, Sales Orders, Purchase Orders, and Sales Backorders. To add or remove sections, click the
Customize button near the top of the window. Then select anything from the list and then click
Add. In the Selected Sections area, you can select an item, then remove it, move up/down, or rename it to best suit your needs. Click
OK to save your changes. Now you can see a list of all invoices in your selected date range for the item you chose.
ITEM SALES HISTORY BY CUSTOMER
This method is even more commonly overlooked because it's in the List menu and not with the reports. Simply go to the
Lists menu >
Inventory & Services >
Item Sales History By Customer. Initially the list will show all items. To look at just one item, simply enter the ID in the Item ID field. You can click on any column heading to sort based on that column. Click the same heading again to reverse the order. You can print the list, or use the
Send To button to send the list to Excel, to a PDF, or to email as a PDF attachment.
Excel Tip - Wrapping Text Within a Cell
If you need to enter text that is too wide for your column, and you don't want to split it into several rows, text wrapping is your answer. When you turn on text wrapping, long pieces of text wrap around to the next line within a cell and the cell height adjusts automatically. You may want to do this anywhere on a spreadsheet, but it it especially common for column headings.
To turn this option on, highlight the cell or cells you want to format (often it's best to select an entire row or column) then right click on the selected area and choose
Format Cells. On the
Alignment tab, check the box next to
Wrap Text. While you are here, you can also choose to set the vertical alignment to top, center or bottom. That way you can control the appearance of other cells in the same area that don't need the full height of the cell to display their text.
You can also use the
Wrap Text button that is in the
Alignment section of the
Home ribbon. The buttons for top, center, and bottom vertical alignment are to the left of the wrap text button.
When you turn on text wrapping, Excel will automatically start a new line wherever needed. But it you want to wrap text (insert a line break) at a specific position, such as if you want to hyphenate a long word, you can use
Alt+Enter at any time to start a new line within the same cell.
If you know other Sage 50/Peachtree users, do them (and me) a favor and pass this along to them. If you are someone that this has been passed on to, and would like to be added to my email list, you can subscribe for free at
