Forecasting / PL projections per project?

SUGGESTED

We are using sage 100 Contractor

We've been trying our best to work within sage 100 to do proper forecasting / p&l statements per project.  We've had lots of limitations with the committed cost reports and other forecasting elements within sage and it doesn't get us what we need to do.  We've resorted to extracting data and uploaded to an Excel file which is a little cumbersome.

We're currently in talks with a software company called cabbage to help with this forecasting and produce our WIP has anyone had success with other forecasting softwares or with cabbage or even use sage 100 properly as a forecasting thank you so much

    Please see my first comment regarding Cost to Complete for forecasting.  I don't know Cabbage, but would certainly recommend you work with Sage authorized 3rd party vendors.  Salesman will tell you anything to get the sale, and months down the road you might find out they could not produce what you wanted/needed.   Sage Liberty Reports is an authorized tool that allows you to build a report in Excel that will pull/update the data directly from Sage.

    Hi - I just posted this in response to another question and copied below.

    I have a job forecasting/projections web application on our Web Portal that is fully integrated with Sage 100 Contractor. You can forecast as of a specific date, drill down to see costs, enter comments, and is the basis for WIP reporting.

    I'd be happy to show you how it works.

    Thanks!

    We found many of them don't push back to Sage 100 Contractor so it's kind of like what's the point.  We decided to go with Liberty Reports and at least we can copy and paste our forecasted cost at completion into an internal change order.  I really wish they would add a more useful forecasting module to Sage.
