    We have a client that upgraded from MAS 200 4.20 to Sage 100 Advanced 2013. They are using TrueCommerce EDI. Our instructions for the upgrade were to copy the vi jobs into 2013, and all is fine. But a 4.20 VI Export job called perform logic for a program VIWMCG. I don't see that program in the VI directory on my stock 4.20, or in the 2013. It appears to be updating a couple UDF's in SO invoice data entry when the export from invoice data entry is run. Specifically an ASN Shipping ID field which is the invoice number and 4 character hour minute. And a checkbox UDF ASN Ship notification. Does anyone know anything about this - did it come from True Commerce?

    TC has always provided the VI jobs. You shouldn't have to use VI anymore as TC now has a business objects interface.

    Talk to TC/HJ about upgrading to BOI as @DougHiggs recommends. Just demoed it for a client and it does look slick. Unfortunately, it isn't going to help you as you needs are a bit more immediate. Is there a program buried in the VI directory (sub folder) by that name. Chances are it is a text file that should be copied over to the v2013 folder as it probably didn't copy.

    That Perform came from MacDonald Consulting Group (ya know where Taylor McDonald came from). There may be more than 1 version of VIWMCG but it is clearly for legacy V/I jobs. I ran into this one at Sage a long time ago on a 4.05 case. This one (which is a text file you can check out in Notepad) has 2 purposes: 1) Change the source file name in the import job to the one specified from a V/I command line (if you were running the job through a batch file) and 2) Write the PO Number to the clip_board on an export. But like Doug and Jeff said you likely don't need this anymore.
