Sage 100 vs QuickBooks Enterprise Chart of Accounts

ou can create an account in Sage 100 with up to 32 characters and 10 segments. At the transactional level, this software also enables user-defined fields. The departmentalized balance sheets and reporting capabilities are improved as a result. The similar segmented layout for a Chart of Accounts is not supported by QuickBooks Enterprise. Five levels of user-defined classes are supported by QuickBooks Enterprise and are accessible at the transaction level. Since these classes enable customers to segment their businesses for revenues and expenses, this is important when migrating over.
