Income
Statement 2 Yrs. (Financial Statement)
How Do I...
Sage 50's Income Statement for Two Years compares revenue and expenses
for the current month totals to the same month for last year, and the
current year's totals to last year's. Unlike the regular Income Statement,
it does not include percentages represented by each account.
When you display or print a financial statement, Sage 50 displays
the following options:
- Dates: You
have the choice of a range of periods, current period, or current three
periods. If you select a range, use the From and To list boxes.
- Account Segments: You can use the Account Segments fields to limit the totals that appear on your financial statement to particular departments, divisions, or whatever other segments you have set up. (Sage 50 Premium Accounting and higher) Each segment of your chart of accounts will appear and you can select a particular segment by using the drop-down lists. If you do not want to limit the totals on the report, simply leave the selections set to All.
This field can also be used as a sub-filter for a financial statement that is already filtered. For instance, you may have a statement that filters for a single division yet includes several departments. You can use this field to further filter for a single department. Should you inadvertently set up filtering that eliminates all data, Sage 50 Premium Accounting (and higher) will display a message warning you of this situation.

- Print Page Numbers: Checking
this will print page numbers on the top right corner of the page. Both
the page number and the number of pages are indicated. For example, if
you are looking at page 2 of a 13-page document, it will display on the
report as "Page: 2 of 13."
- Show Zero Amounts: Select
this check box to show accounts with zero amounts.
- Print All Words Capitalized: Select this check box if you want the
report to print in all capital letters.
- Right Margin/Left Margin: Enter the size of the margins you want, in
inches.
- Center on Page: Select this check box if you
want each page of the report to be centered on the page instead of left
justified when it is printed.

the number of copies you want to print. You can enter any number from
1 to 99.
