So what can be done to keep our much-needed reports from becoming too much of a good thing? Consider utilizing scheduled reports. By scheduling the reports, accounting and project management information can be available at the drop of a hat. As long as the computer is on, Sage will process the report and either print, e-mail, or fax the report at whatever time you specify.
