Sage 100 v2025 Sage Intelligence Conversion Issues

  • 1.  Sage 100 v2025 Sage Intelligence Conversion Issues

    Posted 08-20-2025 13:59

    Has anyone had issues with Sage Intelligence reports not being able to be converted to v2025.1 with the new SI Generator and the new Report Designer Add-in 2.0? Having an issue where the old Sage Intelligence reports (coming from v2020) seem to be doing a call to the old BIGenerator.  Not sure what version these were initially designed in.  Any suggestions or others experiencing the same issues?

    Did you do the pre-upgrade export, new repository (registered) and import the .al_ files into the new repository?

    Kevin:

    Yes, performed all of that, and they will push to Excel, but come in with #N/A on every calculation.

    Are all the new Add-Ins active in Excel?

    Did you run Sage 100 As Admin?

    I'm working on this with Machelle and a couple more things - I imported them into my 2025 and they would still not work.  I had to copy over a new Financial report into the folder, then copy tabs from the old to the new and call it a whole new report.  They did not indicate they were Report Designer reports when run after importing.

    Ugh!!!  Our worst (?) nightmare coming true.

    Could this be an issue with v2020?

    Is the workstation a clean install or do prior versions exist?  32 or 64 bit Excel/Sage?

    Any buzz on the community from your post?

    Check your Excel add-ins.  I'm troubleshooting an SI workstation issue / error now, and think the old BI Generator Add-In is interfering on the client system.  This is what my test v2025 system shows, with an SI 8.0 report loaded.  (Presumably, SI Generator is the new BI Generator).

    Yes, I only have SI Generator active.  Other reports work just fine - these reports are just not converting properly

    I'm not sure if anyone noticed that Sage created a new KB article  -Sage Intelligence Setup and Troubleshooting Guide

    It probably doesn't have the answer you're looking for but I found it to be a fairly concise summary of Sage Intelligence setup and there is a section on Sage 100 2025.

    C'mon, @Wayne Schulz - you KNOW we depend on you to spoon-feed us any new KB entries.  I like the 2025 summary, but it doesn't seem to apply to this. If it was only happening on the client machine, that would be one thing, but copied over to my machine they work the exact same way. (Exported from older version, imported into my 2025).  Waiting to hear whether it's working for the end user - may have to recreate trees for them.  (Ran into the common issue of Excel not being on the server, so haven't fully tested my "fixed" versions yet.)

    Maybe create a new tab and then start copying and pasting a little bit at a time to try and narrow down where it breaks.

    Well, in the interest of getting it done, I just copied them all over.  I am assuming they are working (couldn't tell without the trees) because the Task Pane shows up and it didn't on the old copies.  In general, it just does not see those templates as Report Designer Add-In type templates.  Copying over with NO changes seemed to work, but I did try copying back as the same name once and that didn't work, so I changed the name on each of them.  That part could have been my mixup and an unneeded step - I was pretty cranky at that point.

    Sage has appeared to create a KB article on this. While the article does not presently ( as of 9/10/25 ) offer any resolutions to this issue it should at least serve as a starting point for anyone experiencing similar issues in the future.

    I've managed to get report working by starting a fresh template and then copying the design from the old template.   However Save Excel template then gives me an error message.

    That's not the error some folks get if they minimized the Excel spreadsheet before going back to do the Save in Report Manager?  (If so, just NOT minimizing takes care of the issue.)

    The error 1004 will occur if you have Excel open but is resolved if running Excel 2405 or higher.  I have also received this error if there are issues in the VB scripting after the upgrade.  If you go into the VB scripting and tell it to run through the script, it will halt at the line of code that it has an issue with so you can attempt to resolve the issue.

    Error: "Error number 1004, application-defined or object-defined error" on saving SI reports

    I just spoke with Alec at Sage and it seems that developers in South Africa have tracked down the issues on converting reports.

    In V2025, you have to setup a new repository, which means that you have to re-register SIR, setup SIR security (if using), copy .tre (trees) to new repository. Most importantly, you have to import/ export out the SIR reports.

    For the ones that use the G/L designer addin, they error out after importing when trying to run them (ie missing Add-in). This is due to the version that your imported SIR report was originally written in. If you are still using the original release of the connectors/ subreports,  (ie Accounts 1.0), you need to replace it. Also, the roll up subreport is most likely missing too as it was added later. 

    This was a lot easier than copying and pasting sheets into a new report and updating the Excel paths.

    Alec is working on updating the new and improve KB on troubleshooting SIR reports to include this. I do have the 1st draft of the steps if anyone wants them instead of waiting on his KB.

    Thank you,

    Michael

    @Michael Davis - I would genuinely love to get your first draft. Thank you for sharing your convo with Alec. I've been holding off doing upgrades until this issue has a solution.

    Those are very similar to the instructions that they set me and I tested out a few times. Be sure to watch your sheet numbers when adding the new accounts tab. Also, you may have to add the Rollup sheet if it was missing.

    Thank you
