Sage 100

Do you have any users on Beanworks / AP Automation who also use Sage 100 UNIFIED Login?  Beanworks doesn't seem entirely sure whether a site on Sage 100 who uses Unified Login will work with Beanworks without turning off Sage 100 Unified Login.


Any experiences here?

Beanworks seems to say that Unified Login doesn't work with Beanworks. Would be interested in any firsthand experience.

Added for anyone searching on this issue: 

Feedback from a customer who has been self-implementing. They tried to create a regular user in Sage with unified disabled. Then re-enable unified and use that user/password created within Sage to log into Beanworks SYNC.

This did not appear to work.

The lack of Beanworks ( Sage AP Automation ) support for Unified Login has become an increasingly sore spot for this customer.  It causes them to question how modern Sage 100 is and even though they have a relatively small user count ( under 20 ) the use of Unified kept their Sage app in compliance password-wise.

I'm not really certain why the "trick" of disabling unified, creating a "regular" Sage user with password, then re-enabling unified and using that "regular" account with the Beanworks Sync isn't working. Unfortunately, the customer gets an error if they try to keep unified enabled.

Does anyone know who wrote the Beanworks sync? Or is that something they created internally?

This does reflect poorly on Sage, but more so on Beanworks. Just because a product is included in the Sage Approved list doesn't mean it's best for a customer. There are other AP Automation offerings that integrate with Sage, particularly AvidXchange and Concur. Customers, and their partners, shouldn't assume they have only one choice; we actively encourage customers to look beyond the Sage price list. 

Although I will admit that I wouldn't have volunteered that single sign-on should be a criteria, now I would. ANY integration product should have an answer to this for discovery.
