2021.0 Release is Live!

  • 1.  2021.0 Release is Live!

    Hey 90 Minds community,

    In case you missed it, 2021.0 release is now live and can be downloaded here.
    Earlier in the Partner Webinar, we had some server issues which have now been resolved. You can find Product's What's New Document here and it's been published in the usual places.

    The Partner Portal has been updated with the following items in preparation for this release:
    1. What's New PDF -- This is a shorter, PMM document for customers so they can see what's new. 
    2. Marathon Medical Customer Testimonial. It just so happens we finished this testimonial last week so I'm launching it today as well.
    3. Release Notes for 2021.0. I noticed the 2020.0 and 2021.0 wasn't up on the Portal so I added those as well.
    4. Upgrade Guide for 2021.0
    5. Sage 100 Business Care PDF - I updated it for 2021. The program is the same.

    Don't so quick to install/go live.  First bug reported already.

    For the PU 2020.2 released, This was posted on another thread this morning, "the boxes for the NEC 1099 (2021) are no longer available in Vendor Maintenance... "

    I am having the same issue in v2021.

    @Jeff Schwenk, it actually only took an hour and a half.  That's still very slow for one of my downloads.  I'm on a high speed fiber optic network so I can only imagine that the bottle​neck was at the download server(s).  

    Now I need to go look up that fix that @Wayne Schulz posted.​

    xref to resolution

    Resolution

    <content>

    The Dropdown Default Box No. List is missing the Box #s in the Dropdown because the 1099 processing year in AP Options is not set to year 2020 or higher. The NEC form was implemented for year 2020 and higher so there are no Default Box No. for 2019 and prior.

    To process 1099-NEC for year 2020+ you must be on Sage 100 2020.1, 2019.4 and 2018.10 and higher. Lower versions will not be able to implement 1099-NEC filings.

    To Correct:

    1. Select AP, Setup, AP Options, Main Tab
    2. ***Manually Change the 1099 Default Calendar Year to 2020 or higher and select OK. (This Creates the record for 2020 with the default box fields.)
    3. Return to Vendor Maintenance, Additional Tab,
    4. Select 1099 Form, Vendor Type, Default Form Nonemployee Comp, Social Security No, then select dropdown box to see boxes available. Chose box then select 1099 History for year 2020 to see and populate boxes manually if needed.

    ***Setting the default year can also be done after processing 1099's for prior year and select Yes to "Do you want to increment the Default 1099 Calendar Year field in the Accounts Payable Options window to the next calendar year?"

    NOTE: When importing Vendors into the AP_Vendor and wanting to populate the 1099 NEC form section, the AP Options will also need to be set for year 2020 or higher since they were not used in year 2019 and prior.

    *NOTE: If the boxes and 1099 history grids are blank, change 1099 calendar year back to 2020 in AP Options and run 1099 Tax reporting then exit to get the prompt to increment the year.

    **NOTE: Last Resort - Rename the SY_1099Setup.m4t file in the MAS_System folder. Copy the same file from another installation (SAME Version) into the MAS_System folder. Reselect year in AP options to populate the file with the current year form/boxes. Reconcile AP reports and 1099 history for the year to insure all 1099-NECs are correct.

    @Chuck Peddy - May not be an issue for you if you fixed it in 2020.  Not everyone keeps their default 1099 field in AP set up current.  Mine was set to 2019.​

    Can someone post the URL link for the "What's New PDF -- This is a shorter, PMM document for customers so they can see what's new. " that @Phuong Nguyen refers to above.  My time limit for hunting for this information is 30 minutes.  Have looked in the usual places to no avail.  I have the release notes from the v2021 download page but this is way too geeky for the business owner who doesn't care about the nuts and bolts of the release.

    TIA

    I use this cheat sheet which shows new features in v4.4 through v2021 and includes the links for the full upgrade guides for those customers who are more curious.

    Interesting @Brett Zimmerman.  What is the URL to the posting on the website.  I am actually looking for the details.  This is a summary report.  I am looking for an overview of the 29 new features that the summary lists.   As noted in first earlier post, I need something that will entice a current user on perpetual to transition to subscriptions.  Reseller life should not be this hard!

    There is a link to the Documents page in the Sage 100 launcher, which has most things in one place.
