Many of our clients use Departments in Sage 100 Contractor, as do we, and several of you are adding them in 2026. This is a great way to pull financials for specific departments to track profitability on those jobs or service work. Sometimes different departments have different gross margin goals, or one type of work might be a feeder for other types of jobs.
The Departmental Income Statements in the 2-3 screen are great. When you choose the one that displays the selected period on the left and year-to-date on the right, it also includes the percentage calculations.
We often get the question, ‘Is there a report that would let me combine some but not all of the departments?’ Several clients have a couple of departments in one geographic location, and in another location, similar departments. They’d like to look at the whole location, as well as the individual departments.
Well, not in S100C, but we have a custom report that pulls the data right from S100C and lets you select which departments to combine. It’s a separate icon on the desktop. Choose the departments to include and the reports are presented in Excel, ready for review and sharing. Interested? Let the office know and we’ll provide some additional details. –CMW
