Sage 100

Sage 100 ERP Standard Product Update 5 End user upgraded from v4.3 - bank reconciliation showing large volume of transactions with cleared date of ""1/1/1799"" Anyone seen/heard of this. Going to be super interesting to keep convincing customers to chance it and upgrade to the next level of Sage based on upon the myriad of odd issues each ""upgrade"" seems to kick out. And these odd upgrades seem to mainly impact the large customers -- aka our bread and butter. D-I-V-E-R-S-I-F-Y

Resolutoin: Cleared Date is 1/1/1799 in the Check,Deposit and Reconciliation Entry, Bank Reconciliation, Bank Recap and Auto Check Reconciliation ReportsArticle Products Sage 100 ERP Description Cleared Date is 1/1/1799 in the Check, Deposit and Reconciliation Entry, Bank Reconciliation, Bank Recap and Auto Check Reconciliation Reports Cause The Cleared Date field in Check, Deposit and Reconciliation Entry, Bank Reconciliation, Bank Recap and Auto Check Reconciliation Reports was not included in Sage 100 ERP version 4.50. For Bank Reconciliation transactions that were cleared but not purged on versions 4.50 and earlier, the date of 1/1/1799 is used to populate the Cleared Date field during the migration to versions 2013 and higher since the actual Cleared Date is unknown.

Why Sage picked 1799 I'll never know. It just looks odd.

1/1/1799 is a ""magical"" date used for the beginning of computer time. I know I read it somewhere. A Google search turned up several reverences, but nothing exact to support this. But why did Sage not just pick date like 1/1/1900, who knows. Maybe they actually picked 1/1/1799.
