This How to Use Sage tutorial walks you through every feature step by step, from first sign-in to the tricks that make you fast.

Verstandig
Stop wrestling with spreadsheets at month end. Sage links your bank, reads your receipts, and builds the reports your accountant asks for. Start free and add features as you grow.
Aan de slag met Sage
Voordat u een functie kunt gebruiken, moet u deze eenmalige installatie voltooien.
Het duurt ongeveer drie minuten.
Here is what my own first week with the app looked like:

Laten we nu elke stap eens doornemen.
Stap 1: Maak uw account aan
Go to Sage’s website and click Start Free Trial.
Voer uw e-mailadres in en maak een wachtwoord aan.
✓ Controlepunt: Controleer uw inbox voor een bevestigingsmail.
Step 2: Open the App on Web or Mobile
Sage runs in any browser, with free apps for iOS and Android.
Log in met uw nieuwe accountgegevens.
Zo ziet het eruit:

✓ Controlepunt: You should land on the main dashboard.
Stap 3: Voltooi de eerste installatie
Voer uw in bedrijf name, financial year end, and tax registration details.
Then link your bank so transactions start to flow in.
✅ Klaar: Je bent klaar om een van de onderstaande functies te gebruiken.
Hoe gebruik je Sage Smarter financiële rapporten?
Slimmere financiële rapporten lets you build profit, loss, and cash flow reports in a few clicks.
Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.
Step 1: Open the Reporting Menu
Sign in and click Rapportage in de bovenste navigatiebalk.
Pick Profit and Loss to start.
Step 2: Set Your Date Range and Filters
Choose the period you want, then filter by department or tax code.
Zo ziet het eruit:

✓ Controlepunt: You should see live figures pulled straight from your ledger.
Step 3: Save or Export the Report
Click Export to send it to PDF, CSV, or Excel.
✅ Resultaat: You have a report that shows exactly where the money went.
💡 Pro-tip: Run your profit report every Monday morning, not once a quarter. Small errors are easier to fix while you still remember the transaction.
Hoe gebruik je Sage Multi-Currency Accounting?
Boekhouding in meerdere valuta lets you invoice and get paid by customers around the world without manual maths.
Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.
Stap 1: Schakel meerdere valuta in
Go to Settings, then Business Settings, then Currencies.
Switch the toggle on and pick your base currency.
Step 2: Add the Currencies You Trade In
Select each currency you invoice or buy in.
Zo ziet het eruit:

✓ Controlepunt: The invoice total should show both currencies side by side.
Step 3: Raise an Invoice in a Foreign Currency
Choose the customer, pick their currency, and send the invoice.
✅ Resultaat: Exchange gains and losses now post to your ledger on their own.
💡 Pro-tip: Let Sage pull live exchange rates instead of typing your own. Manual rates are the top cause of tiny balance differences at year end.
How to Use Sage Inventory Manager
Voorraadbeheer lets you track stock levels and keep control over every item you hold.
Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.
Step 1: Create Your Product Records
Click Products and Services, then New Item.
Add a code, cost price, and sale price.
Step 2: Enter Your Opening Stock
Type the quantity you hold today for each item.
Zo ziet het eruit:

✓ Controlepunt: Each product row should show a live quantity in stock.
Step 3: Set Reorder Levels
Add a low-stock number so Sage warns you before you run out.
✅ Resultaat: Stock levels now drop and rise on their own as you trade.
💡 Pro-tip: Group items with a short shelf life under their own category. It takes one minute and saves you from writing off stock you forgot about.
How to Use Sage Digital Record-Keeper
Digitale archivering lets you store receipts and invoices without chasing paper at year end.
Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.
Step 1: Open the Mobile App
Install the Sage app and sign in with the same login.
Tap the camera icon to capture a receipt.
Step 2: Upload and Read the Receipt
Sage reads the date, supplier, and total for you.
Zo ziet het eruit:

✓ Controlepunt: The expense line should show a small paperclip icon.
Step 3: Attach It to a Transaction
Match the receipt to an expense, then post the transaction.
✅ Resultaat: Every receipt now sits attached to the entry it belongs to.
💡 Pro-tip: Upload receipts the same day you spend. A photo taken in the car beats a faded paper receipt found in a coat pocket in March.
Hoe gebruik je Sage Bank Reconciliation?
Bankafstemming lets you match your bank lines to your books in minutes instead of hours.
Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.
Step 1: Link Your Bank Account
Go to Banking and choose Connect to Bank.
Pick your bank and approve the integration.
Step 2: Review the Suggested Matches
Sage suggests a match for each imported line.
Zo ziet het eruit:

✓ Controlepunt: The unreconciled count should fall towards zero.
Step 3: Confirm or Create the Missing Entry
Accept the match, or create a new entry for anything unknown.
✅ Resultaat: Your bank balance and your Sage balance finally agree.
💡 Pro-tip: Never ignore a line you cannot explain. Park it in a suspense account and ask your accountant, rather than forcing a match that hides a real error.
Hoe gebruik je het balansrapport van Sage?
Balansrapport lets you see a clear picture of what your business owns and owes.
Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.
Step 1: Open the Balance Sheet
Click Reporting, then Balance Sheet.
Set the date you want to view.
Step 2: Drill Into Any Line
Click a figure to see the transactions behind it.
Zo ziet het eruit:

✓ Controlepunt: De totale activa moeten gelijk zijn aan de passiva plus het eigen vermogen.
Step 3: Compare Two Periods
Tick the comparison box to show last year beside this year.
✅ Resultaat: You can now explain any number on the page in one click.
💡 Pro-tip: Check your debtors line before you chase invoices. It shows who owes you money right now, which is faster than a search through emails.
How to Use Sage Sage Copilot
Sage Copilot lets you ask plain questions about your books and get answers without building a report.
Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.
Step 1: Open Copilot
Click the Copilot icon in the top right corner.
It sits on your dashboard on eligible plans.
Step 2: Ask a Question in Plain English
Type something like which customers are late paying me.
Zo ziet het eruit:

✓ Controlepunt: Copilot should reply with figures from your own data.
Stap 3: Handel naar het antwoord
Use the suggested chase list or drill into the detail.
✅ Resultaat: You get a straight answer without learning report syntax.
💡 Pro-tip: Ask follow-up questions in the same thread. Copilot keeps the context, so you can narrow a wide answer down to one customer or one month.
How to Use Sage Advanced Inventory Manager
Geavanceerd voorraadbeheer lets you handle stock across several locations with batch and serial tracking.
Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.
Step 1: Add Your Warehouses
Open Inventory Settings and create one record per location.
Name each one clearly, such as Shop or Unit 4.
Step 2: Assign Stock to Each Location
Move opening quantities into the right warehouse.
Zo ziet het eruit:

✓ Controlepunt: Each item should show a quantity per location.
Step 3: Set Batch or Serial Tracking
Turn tracking on for items you need to trace.
✅ Resultaat: You can trace any unit back to the batch it arrived in.
💡 Pro-tip: Run a spot count on ten items each month rather than one huge count each year. Errors stay small and you find the cause while it is fresh.
How to Use Sage Project Manager
Projectmanagement lets you track cost, time, and profit for each job you take on.
Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.
Stap 1: Een project aanmaken
Click Projects, then New Project, and name the job.
Add a budget and a start date.
Step 2: Tag Costs and Time to It
Pick the project on every bill, expense, and timesheet.
Zo ziet het eruit:

✓ Controlepunt: The project card should show costs building up in real time.
Step 3: Review Project Profit
Open the project report to compare budget against actual.
✅ Resultaat: You can see which jobs make money and which quietly lose it.
💡 Pro-tip: Tag costs as you enter them, never later. A bill left untagged for a week almost always ends up in the wrong job or in no job at all.

Veelgemaakte fouten van Sage die je moet vermijden
