Crystal Reports

Yes, Crystal Reports is one way to extract data from Sage 50 and we can train you on the process. You would not need to have the product prior to the  training. However, we have found that on-line training without the ability to immediately practice what has been demonstrated has a lower retention rate. You will also need to gain experience by practicing. The final element is to be able to find the appropriate data tables and fields to retrieve the data for use within those reports.

Please note, that although Crystal Reports can still be used with Sage 50, Sage has not included Crystal Reports as part of the Sage 50 product since 2014. A license has to be purchased separately. It is generally not recommended as the external report writer of choice unless reports were created prior it’s being removed from the product. It is most often required when these reports are still needed or new reports are required that cannot be created using the currently support Sage Intelligence external report writer.

The first step is to confirm the types of reports that you are expected to produce. This will confirm that Crystal Reports in the most appropriate choice for those reports. Other reporting options include

Print a Crystal Report in Sage 50

If Crystal is the most appropriate choice for an external report writer, I would be glad to set up an online training session for you. It is always helpful to know the reports you wish to produce, so I can choose one as example during training to give you experience in determining the tables and fields to create a specific report.
