With installations in hundreds of countries,Sage 300 (formerly "Sage Accpac") is truly a global product.  With technology breaking down borders, it has become commonplace to see companies (regardless of size) conduct business internationally.  

But if you're asking yourself "How does Sage 300 address the requirements of so many different accounting rules, currencies, languages, and cultures," then read on to learn about the international appeal and diversity of Sage 300.

It's All About Perspective

First and foremost, it’s worth pointing out that Sage 300 is developed, designed, and supported by a diverse team of engineers that hails from all corners of the world.  Sage believes strongly that a software product ultimately reflects the team that builds it and the Sage 300 folks truly reflect a diverse, innovative, and “world-wise” group. 

The International Language of Accounting

Sage 300 allows you to install multiple languages, each of which is assigned per user.  In other words, you can have an AP clerk running Sage 300 in Spanish, a warehouse manager running French, and accounting staff running English.  

This might come in handy for companies that have branches or divisions in several countries.  Out of the box, Sage 300 supports 5 languages (including English, French, Spanish and Chinese) while add-on packs are available for other languages.

Dollars, Euros, Pounds, Yen …

From Pesos and Pounds to Euros and Yen, Sage 300 Multicurrency provides automated currency conversion and powerful multicurrency accounting functions including:

  • Unlimited number of currencies and rate types
  • Enter transactions in any currency
  • Process payments and receipts in multiple currencies
  • Print reports in both functional and source (local) currency

Sage 300 also supports up to 3 decimal places and 18 digits (15 before and 3 after the decimal - more than most competing accounting products offer!).  And with a centralized table of all exchange rates, you can use the power of automation to keep track of ever-changing currency valuation.

Local and Regional Preferences

The development team for Sage 300 is also mindful of various regional settings that include things like date preferences (mm/dd/yy vs. dd/mm/yy), characters used for number formatting (decimal vs. comma), currency symbols and much more.  

And when it comes to localization, the configuration options and flexibility of Sage 300 ERP can accommodate the nuances of almost any jurisdiction.  So rather than providing separate Australian, Canadian, and American versions of Sage 300 to accommodate the respective sales tax laws, the ERP software is available in one version that boasts a sales tax engine that’s powerful enough to tackle just about any local sales tax compliance law you’ll encounter.

Need More Info or Guidance?
If suddenly you find yourself doing business internationally but haven't yet taken advantage of the global diversity of your accounting software, don't hesitate to contact a Sage partner for assistance and discover why Sage 300 is truly a global product.
