How to

Show custom colours for each module

You can display a custom colour at the top of each screen for each module, to make it easier to see which module you are working with in Sage 200. For example, this is useful if you're printing invoices, but aren't sure if you're using Invoicing or Sales Order Processing.

Open: Accounting System Manager > Settings > Maintain Module Colours

1. Select the modules you want to display colours for.

   • Sales Ledger.

   • Purchase Ledger.

   • Nominal Ledger.

   • Cash Book.

   • Invoicing.

   • Stock Control.

   • Sales Order Processing.

   • Price Book.

   • Purchase Order Processing.

   • Bill of Materials.

2. Select Set Colour to choose a colour for a module.

When are module colours displayed?

• Module colours are only applied to the current company, and are visible by all users.

• Module colours are displayed for screens, but not displayed for desktop lists, workspaces, or reports.

• Not all screens in Sage 200 are included in the available module options, for example settings screens in Accounting System Manager.

• Screens that appear in multiple menu locations will show the colour of their main module. For example, the Nominal Vatable Receipt screen will show the colour of the Nominal Ledger module, even though it also appears in the Cash Book menu.
