    Received this email and not sure of the answer. The client is on Sage 100 Premium.

    "Does SAGE have the capability to schedule reports using Cron job?"

    If Cron lets you execute Windows tasks, a couple of options would be:

    1. Create a BOI script that runs the Sage report then once you have it working, have Cron schedule and execute the script.
    2. Sage Task Scheduler can create a task for any of the regular worktable reports but not for those in the Custom Reports menu I believe. Choose Type = Reports instead of Journals. It will create a task in Windows Task Scheduler and if you inspect it closely there you'll see that it runs pvxwin32.exe and passes a number of arguments. You should be able to do the same in Cron.
