Sage 50 Construction Accounting 2014

Summary: Add progress billing and contractor insurance tracking to Sage 50 Premium and you have Sage 50 Construction Accounting. While it may not have all the features found in software written specifically for the construction industry, it doesn’t carry their price tag either.  In its price range Sage 50 Construction is a strong competitor.



Features Gained:

• Progress Billing - Jobs that require progress billing can choose between Percent of Completion, Percent of Contract, or Percent of Proposal.
• Contractor Insurance Tracking - A new tab was added to the Maintain Vendors window.  Here you can keep track of expiration date, insurance company name, policy number, and notes for worker's compensation, general liability, umbrella, and automotive policies.
• Ability to revise Bill Of Material - Assembly items have a bill of materials attached to them so that Sage 50 knows which components make up the finished good.  In the lower versions of Sage 50, that BOM is set in stone.  But in Construction, you can create a revised BOM with an effective date.  Any assembly transactions on or after that date will use the new BOM.
• Specialized Crystal Reports - see table for list of reports
