Sage ERP Intelligence Reporting includes several standard report
templates, some with additional layouts available for alternative
views of your data. And why did we choose these reports? These
reports in Sage ERP were locked down reports with no flexibility.
We knew that these were the ones that you needed to customize to
fit your own business needs.
Each of these reports can be run out at the click of a button
into Microsoft Excel where you can simply analyze your information.
And, using the power of Excel you can use your Excel experience to
make additional changes. Also, additional reports can be built for
more individualized reporting needs.
Lets talk about the Financial Report Designer

10Sage Intelligence Reporting templates/utility focus coming
soon!
The Sage Intelligence Reporting team is focusing on providing
more out of the box value through more report templates for
customers.
We currently offer a suite of additional free report templates
on the Sage Intelligence Reporting Community which is in the
process of being moved to an interactive webpage so all reports
will be easily visible and easily consumed by customers.
Sage Intelligence are also creating a Report Template Utility
which will allow clients to select the reports they are wanting and
these will automatically be imported into their Report Manager
module eliminating the manual upload they currently have to do.
This piece of software will be downloaded from the Sage
Intelligence Community website and installed on the customers
machine.
So how will this Report Template Utility work?
Once downloaded and installed on the customers machine, it will
automatically detect the accounting/ERP solution on customers
machine (Starting with Sage 50, 100, 300 and 500 ERP). If a
business partner has more than one solution on his/her machine it
will ask which one the customer would like to insert reports
into
It would then check to see if customer has latest reports
Once the user has selected the reports they would like to
import
They will get a confirmation screen to sync these reports to a
Free Report Templates folder in their Report Manager module.
This is a new exciting innovation that will allow customers to
the latest reports quickly and easily and not have to wait for the
next new release of Sage ERP Intelligence Reporting
