Spring has sprung and its time for a cleanup. Where better to start than to see what the next batch of Sage’s free reports has to offer.

In case you’re new to this, Sage produce monthly reports for Sage 200cloud totally free of charge! The reports are referred to as the ‘Report of the Month’ and are released towards the start of each month.

The reports are for a variety of different areas of your Sage system including Sales, Purchase & Nominal Ledger. Sales Order Processing, Purchase Order Processing & Stock. The reports, in particular, have either been suggested by end users or requested by Sage Partners.

Each quarter, we release a blog post to keep you updated on the last three months reports. Its a quick summary of the information you can get within each report. There will also be screenshots and a link to the page to find the report. So, let’s have a look at our last three months!

All the reports available are compatible with Sage 200cloud Ver. 8 (2011 Service Pack 7) onwards unless otherwise stated.

Module: Stock Control
