Names and Terminology
You can customize the names and terminology used in Sage 50 Accounting to reflect your company's industry and business practices. This may be useful if you prefer Sage 50 Accounting to use the same terminology as your industry, or if you want to record additional information, such as a shipping address for vendors or an emergency contact for your employees.
