Day book reports
Description

 UPDATED: Some reports have been consolidated with the launch of v30. For more information see Removed and consolidated reports in v30 >

Day book reports are available in several different areas of Sage 50 Accounts and show a list of transactions of a single type, for example, only Sales Invoices (SI) or only Bank Payments (BP). They can be run for a range of criteria such as transaction date, transaction number or account reference. The information which appears on a report varies depending on the transaction type shown and whether the report is a detailed or summary report. Unless otherwise specified, day book reports show both paid and outstanding transactions.
