• Sage 50 Nonprofits Accounting

WARNING! If you open a company in a different flavor, the data gets converted to that flavor. Once you have converted a company to a different flavor or format, you cannot return to the original format. If you will be returning this data set to your client, you would generally not want to upgrade to a different flavor at this time. In most cases, you would want to keep the original flavor of the company.
