  • 1.  Bank Code Maintenance Field limitation

    Posted 04-12-2024 11:05

    The customer emailed saying she needs more than a single character for bank codes.  Apparently 36 is not enough.  I suggested other non traditional characters ($^#, etc) as well.  

    Does anyone know of any enhancements to make this a two-character field?  The bank code touches many programs and I can't envision anyone developing an enhancement.

    Thoughts?

    GLXB - GLXB G/L Expanded Bank Code

    https://www.dsdinc.com/enhancements/marketplace/products/glxb-g-l-expanded-bank-code

    GLXB Expanded Bank Codes Standard Sage 100 ERP only allow upper-case bank codes, which means that you only have 36 bank codes available (A-Z, 0-9).

    For versions 4.40 and below, the enhancement changes the Bank Code to upper- and lower-case, allowing you an additional 26 bank codes (a-z) for a total of 62 codes. Note: The Bank Code field is still a 1-character field.

    Starting with version 4.50, this enhancement changes the Bank Code length to 3 characters, except for Payroll. Payroll will only support the original one character code (A-Z, 0-9). Note: Lower-case Bank Codes will no longer be supported.
     
    The following Sage 100 ERP modules are modified for this new feature:

    • General Ledger
    • Accounts Payable
    • Accounts Receivable
    • Bank Reconciliation
    • Purchase Order
    • Payroll

    You can envision DSD doing it - I have someone using it

    Thanks.  There are options.

    FWIW, in a v2023 text company, I was able to use a non alpha/numeric character.  I did not flow it beyond bank maintenance, but in a perfect world, wouldn't you get an error message if the character was not allowed?

    Yes, and I think I have someone using weird characters, too.  But I'd stay away from * and !

    I clicked on the link that Wayne provided to read more about it.  The big question is whether the PR module is or is NOT supported in the current Sage versions????
