Summary

It’s useful to see exactly what a feature or function does before you use it in your live company data.

That’s why Sage 50 Accounts has two extra areas where you can try out features\functions and practice tasks without affecting your live data.

If you’d like to experiment, your accounting software comes complete with dummy companies to help you do so.

Practice data in Sage 50

If you want to test how a feature or function of the software works, or analyse the effect of posting different transaction types, the Practice Data is the ideal place to do this!

You can save and reopen the Practice Data as needed, or you can discard your practice work and start again.

To open the Practice Data from within your software, click File, then click Open and click Open Practice Data.

To login, enter manager as the logon name and leave the password blank.

To discard information, you previously entered in Practice Data:

• On opening the Practice Data, click Start Again and follow the on-screen prompts.

• While in Practice Data, click File, click Maintenance, and then click Rebuild.

Demonstration data in Sage 50

The Demonstration Data provides an example company (dummy data), complete with records and transactions, so you can explore the capabilities of your software.

Like the Practice Data, the Demonstration Data is independent of your live accounts, so any postings you make here do not affect your live data.

To open the demo data from within your software, click File, then click Open and click Open Demo Data.

To login, enter manager as the logon name and leave the password blank.
