F9 Report Writer —
Sage MAS 90 & Sage MAS 200 |
F9 is a Financial Reporting application, which dynamically
links the Sage MAS 90 and Sage MAS 200
ERP General
Ledger data to Microsoft Excel. By employing a
combination of simple cell formulas in
Excel, F9 allows
General Ledger data in Sage MAS 90 or 200 to be
formatted into any desired
financial report in the flexible
and powerful environment of the spreadsheet. The
F9 Report Wizard
allows you to go from a blank
spreadsheet to a fully formatted, hot-linked report in just
seconds!
Follow a graphical representation and
step-by-step procedure; point and click your way to a
finished
report, complete with F9 formulas, automatically.
F9 offers an unbeatable feature package, including drill
down, multiple date ranges, lists of account
segments,
and report auditing. It also does all of this while being
dynamically hot linked to General
Ledger, ensuring that all numbers are timely, consistent, and complete. |

Features: |
|
Graphical Presentation of Data—The presentation of your financial information can be enhanced by taking advantage of the graphics, text, and add-in capabilities of your
spreadsheet. |
|
AnyTimeSlice—You can create financial reports that span any period, even a one-week or one-day Profit and Loss (P&L), if desired. |
|
DataPreLoad—By loading all or part of your chart of accounts into memory, you can speed recalculation times dramatically. |
|
Multi-company Capabilities—Access General Ledger data from any number of companies simultaneously. Simplify consolidation across departments, divisions, or
companies. |
|
Drill Down—Find the origin of any number in your spreadsheet—drill down all the way to the individual transaction itself. For example, a total
revenue figure can be sliced into revenue by department, by product, or by location, and that information can be pasted into your
spreadsheet to augment your report. |
|
Analyze—Report out of balance? With just one click, the F9 Analyze feature scans the entire spreadsheet, helping you troubleshoot your report by
identifying missing or duplicate accounts. |
|
Multiple Fiscal Years—You can access data from all Sage MAS 90 or Sage MAS 200 fiscal years using F9. |
|
Report Wizard—You are guided through report creation step by step; in seconds, you can create a complete financial report with all F9 functions,
formulas, and cell references intact. |
|
Flexible Cell Reference—Suppose you have created a departmental report with one cell containing the department code “100”, for example. Change “100” to
“100, 200” and you have a two-department consolidated report. Change “100” to “*” and you have an all-departments report. |
|
Create, Edit and Write Budgets—Read Budget and Write Budget buttons provide a mechanism for passing budgets back and forth between your General Ledger and
spreadsheet. Spreadsheets are an optimal environment for creating and editing budgets, and F9 makes it easy. |
|
Executive Information
System (EIS) Functionality—With F9, you can drive F9 functionality from within a macro or Visual Basic program. Create dialog boxes, menus, and buttons, and use
them to explore your accounting numbers, just as an executive information system would. |
|
General Ledger Function
Wizard—The General Ledger Function Wizard enhances productivity and the creation of reports. The formula inserts the appropriate number of
cells in the spreadsheet to build an F9 report. The General Ledger formula contains the cell references required to complete the report. |
|
Financial Entities—Financial Entities extends the utility of F9 formulas. General Ledger account numbers may be specified, using either the segment value or
its description, as they appear in the chart of accounts. You can also define your own F9 Financial Entities. |
|
WGL Formulas—WGL Formulas allow writing budget information back to the F9 Datamart’s general ledger. A single cell of information can be written
back to the budget files. While Budget Write Back is for batch updates, WGL allows accounts to be updated individually. |
|
Account Enquiry—Just launch F9, select the accounts you want a balance from, and click Get Balance. With Account Enquiry, you can obtain account
balances from your General Ledger without using your spreadsheet. Makes queries fast and easy. |
