The book was written to give brand new users information at the start on how to set up the software, while experienced users can flip to the later chapters for information on using advanced features, running reports or referencing rarely used quarterly and annual functions like tax filings. Sage 50 Accounts For Dummies is written to show users how to perform a single task without having to reference other parts of the book. The author gives examples of how Sage 50 fits into existing business processes, though you do not have to follow these business processes to use the book. Chapter 19 describes how to import customer records from an older version of Sage into the latest version.
