How to
Download a report
We have provided a number of reports in addition to the default reports installed with Sage 200. If you would like to use any of these reports, you must first download the report file to your PC, and then upload the report to Sage 200.
Save the report that you want to use:

Click to the link below to download the report file.
If clicking the link doesn't work, right-click the link and select Save link as.
Note: For more information about the content of each report, see Additional reports you can install.

If your browser asks you want to do with the file, choose to Save the file (rather than open it).
Upload the report to Sage 200
If you have downloaded a report, or have been provided with a report file, you must upload the report to use it with Sage 200.

Add a report to the menu

Useful info

Fix it
You have to choose a user for each report before you can save your changes. This is because at least one user must have access to the new report.
To do this:
- Select a line and then select the user(s) from the Usersfor column. All users in this role(s) will be able to run the report.
- Repeat for each report you've added.
- Click OK.
You may see this error if you've added extra lines but haven't added a report to those lines. To save your changes, delete the blank lines.
This could be because:
-
Sage 200 hasn't been restarted.
You need to restart Sage 200, before you can see the new report on the menu. If the report isn't there try closing and then opening Sage 200.
-
You don't have access to the report.
You'll only be able to access the new report if it's been linked for you.
-
The report has been added to wrong section of the menu.
The report will appear the Custom Reports folder for the section of the menu selected on the Custom Report Manager screen.
-
The report hasn't been given a name.
The report appears in the menu with the text entered in the Name column. If this is left blank the report can't be shown on the menu.
What happens when
I upload a new report?
- The report is added to the Reports folder in Microsoft Azure. You can customise the report from here using Report Designer.
- The report is added to the menu for the module you selected. You can find it in the Custom Reports section.
- Any users in the roles you selected can run the report.
