Sage 100

Last week I finalized a Sage 100 4.4 to 2016.3 upgrade. I ran into the ""Electronic Consent Is Required"" bug. Apparently Sage has figured this out and I noticed they published a program fix to correct the records. Previously to fix this you could use a VI job to export out the vendors with the issue then re-import the fields to fix the problem. This is not the world's greatest problem, however, I find it VERY annoying that Sage couldn't work out a fix sooner and include it in a PU so that the conversion process did not create this problem. It's embarrassing to leave a customer site and get a call only to learn that this bug is keeping people from adding or changing vendors. Here's the one-off fix which seems to possibly be a faster way to fix records than the VI two-step. Hopefully Sage will package a true fix into future product updates so that we are not going through with a punch list of Sage bugs to watch for then having to continuously apply fixes manually. https://support.na.sage.com/selfservice/viewdocument.do?noCount=true&externalId=75590&sliceId=1&cmd=displayKC&dialogID=182200&docType=kc&isLoadPublishedVer=&stateId=182202&docTypeID=DT_Article&ViewedDocsListHelper=com.kanisa.apps.common.BaseViewedDocsListHelperImpl

Another item to add to the punch list. Sage 100 v2017 GL Detail Report shows the debit amounts in the wrong column if using the Condensed format. It's an easy fix to move the Debit amount to the correct column in Crystal, but a customer sent over the report to their CPA firm, and it makes the program look hokey. https://support.na.sage.com/selfservice/viewdocument.do?noCount=true&externalId=80396&sliceId=1&cmd=displayKC&dialogID=291339&docType=kc&isLoadPublishedVer=&stateId=291341&docTypeID=DT_Article&ViewedDocsListHelper=com.kanisa.apps.common.BaseViewedDocsListHelperImpl

Oh my gosh! That probably means a need to check all the reports with increased font size. Obviously, Sage is not paying for or using any QA on the product.

getting ready to do our first 2017 thinking it was finally ready to go. not a deal breaker but embarrassing to send to cpa. Good catch.
