Using multiple companies

Provided that you have a multi-company licence, your Sage 200 system allows you to process information for more than one company completely independently.

Each company will have its own set of data files. The System and Ledger settings for each one can be completely different.

Setting up additional companies is done in System Administration and is usually carried out when the system is first installed and configured.

When you log on to Sage 200, if you have access to more than one company, you can select the company to open. To open a different company in Sage 200, select Tools > Change Company.

Each company's data can be consolidated to produce the management reports that parent or holding companies would normally require.

Alternatively, a company's data can be kept independent from each other.
