Management Reporting and Business Intelligence with Sage 300
Reporting projects often begin with a list of existing spreadsheets. A better starting point is the decision each report supports, the owner of that decision, the required frequency and the source of every measure. This exposes data gaps before they become reporting problems.

Start with decisions rather than report formats
Build the reporting foundation
The chart of accounts, account segments, customer and supplier classifications, inventory structure and project codes determine what can be analysed reliably. Sage 300 provides financial and operational data, while reporting tools can present that information in financial statements, dashboards and management packs.
The term real time should be used carefully. Information is current only to the extent that source transactions have been entered, approved, posted and refreshed in the relevant reporting tool.
A practical reporting catalogue
GoalTech defines the data model and report ownership before building outputs, reducing the number of conflicting spreadsheets that circulate after implementation.
