Sage 50 Forecasting Training

Sage 50 Forecasting is a good basic tool for creating business plans and cash flow forecasts, irrespective of whether you use Sage 50 or Sage 200 Accounts. 

There is however a real benefit to using Sage 50 Forecasting with Sage 50 Accounts, as you can hotlink your actual data to your forecast for instant variance reporting.

You can also hotlink to live Excel data that may be produced by other departments enabling your Sage 50 Forecast to be instantly refreshed each time it is opened.

Once created, Sage 50 Forecasting can make the task of forecasting so much more straightforward and flexible and as the data is presented via hardcoded reports, all forecasts have 100% integrity guaranteed – unlike an Excel forecast.
