Love the software, hate the upgrade price.
We have 3 users on the system with the general ledger, inventory, purchasing, payables, receivables, projects and cash management being used. We use the Sage 500 because of the ease of projects as well as the reporting capabilities it has. We have also customized reports with Crystal reports to get the reports we need for our end users.
- Payables and receivables handled beautifully
- Projects has the reporting capabilities we need
- Cash management is easy to do
- The upgrade price is outrageous

Long time devotee of Sage 500
Sage 500 ERP is used throughout our organization for core accounting functions (Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Cash Management and General Ledger), distribution (Inventory, Purchasing and Sales) and Project Accounting. Sage 500 ERP provides quick and easy access to actionable data through standard reports and inquiries. The system is easy to use, with most tasks having drill-into, drill-down or drill-around to related tasks and data.
- Multi-Company processing, including intercompany transactions within Accounts Payable, Purchasing and General Ledger.
- Handles Multi-Currency transactions with ease.
- Handles multiple business entities (warehouses, divisions, regions, locations, departments, etc.) with reporting at each level.
- Inquiry screens (called Business Insights Explore/Analyzer tasks) are easy to personalize by the user, showing the data you want, in the order you want, with sorting, filtering and aggregation (Count, Average, sub-total, etc.) as you need. And all of the data from these tasks can be explorted to Excel if additional "slicing-and-dicing" is needed.
- MANY options for importing data into the system, and the Customizer module allows you to personalize screens by adding/hiding fields, renaming fields, etc.
- The application is very functional, but the interface is a little "stale" compared to more modern applications.
- The underlying client software is written in an old version of Microsoft Visual Basic. I suppose SOME DAY, Microsoft will be discontinuing, although Microsoft has its own ERP software written in that same code.

Sage 500 ERP
We currently use Sage 500 in purchasing and in the finance/accounting department.
- Accounting uses the application for tracking all financial transactions and how it affects our general ledger. This is one of the strengths of the package.
- Purchasing uses the software to create, issue and track purchase orders. Another area of strength of the application.
- We will start using the tool to keep track of inventory quantities. i have used Sage 500 in a prior firm for this purpose and, I believe, it does an excellent job of this also.
- The biggest concern/complaint of Sage 500 users is speed. Some of the screen take a while to load.
- The user interface needs some refreshing. Screens need to be updated to take advantage of shortcuts and to be more intuitive.
