Sage FAQ's

How does this work with Sage ?

Essentially LiveCosts takes over Procurement and invoice processing for the purpose of ensuring all costs that arrive into the business are assigned to a project budget. Bills are then posted from LiveCosts to Sage.

What about tracking categories ?

On set up we import your Sage Tracking Categories ( Departments, Projects & Cost Codes ) meaning they can be used when posting from LiveCosts to Sage. Sage tracking categories can also be aligned to LiveCosts projects

Can i import my Sage Data ?

Yes, on set up all tax rates, accounts, tracking categories, suppliers can be imported in bulk. We support Sage Accounting an Sage 50 UK syncing

What about Income ?

Sales invoices can be imported from Sage and applied directly to projects in Livecosts. We will monitor invoices for payment updates which automatically update Livecosts with the latest payment information.
