Sage 100

Has anyone else had customers complain that MAS 90/200 is not international-friendly? I have a customer today that we were in a meeting with that really complained about it. They did say that they are aware it's a Sage issue, and that it must put us (the reseller) in a bad spot. Specifically, for them, the issue was that eBusiness Web Services doesn't allow for any zip/postal code not already in the zip code database. Plus, the address fields aren't long enough. Not good for a company that sells internationally via the web.

Yes I've customer with ""pain points"". MAS 90/200 has not been adapted to the global economy. Zip codes require a state. Not all countries have staties (ie UK).

Here is a link from yesterday on the same topic. Not sure if the Idea web site was ever posted to. I gave several ideas for him to post. I personally like the foreign address flag in the customer master. Second is the USA/non USA country code to use as the override flag. http://community.sagemas.com/t5/Distribution-Manufacturing-and/How-to-Turn-off-Zip-code-validation/m-p/53070#M6533 Not sure why nothing has ever been done. Maybe this is a selling point for an conversion to ACCPAC????

Here is the idea on the Ideas site. Only 30 votes; so Sage probably doesn't give it much priority unless it gets over 100. https://www11.v1ideas.com/SageERP/MAS90and200/Idea/Detail/742

Now 31; I voted for it.

Sage gives anything priority?

Priority is upselling maintenance plans.

Dawn - did you mean to include a link to the idea on the Ideas site?

@JohnShaver - BINGO!

Dawn - I didn't see any Idea postings with 30 votes. Can you post the link?

This gaves sage an excuse to upsell to X3 ""Standard edition

Not only this but in older versions (since corrected) making links to display the country name didn't work unless you created a few sub-reports. It was a real project just to throw a country name on the form.
