Sage 100 2019 Product Update 2 Enhancements
Most of these enhancements are only available for Sage 100 Cloud, so take note if you are NOT using the Sage100Cloud subscription version.
Global enhancements:
The following changes are carried throughout multiple modules.
Automatic Update of Daily Transaction Register
A security event has been added to Role Maintenance that allows you to automatically update the Daily Transaction Register. For any series of journal and register updates that concludes with the Daily Transaction Register, you will not receive a prompt to print and update the register if the security event check box is selected for your role. The Daily Transaction Register will be printed and updated automatically.
The security event has been added for the following modules:
A/P, A/R, Bank Rec, BillOfMaterials, I/M, J/C, P/O, S/O, W/O.
Note: available for Sage 100 Cloud systems only.
Warning Message for Document Dates
A Use Document Date Warning check box has been added to the Preferences tab in Company Maintenance. After selecting this check box, you can enter a value in one or both of the following fields:
Document Date – Prior Periods to Allow Outside of Current Period
Document Date – Future Periods to Allow Outside of Current Period
These values are compared to the current period entered in the module’s Options task to determine when a date falls outside of the valid date range. Alternately, in Bill of Materials, Inventory Management, Purchase Order, Return Merchandise, and Sales Order, the values are compared to the current calendar month and year if Calendar Months is selected in the Base Inventory Periods On field in Inventory Management Options.
If you start to create a document with a date that falls outside of the valid range, you’ll receive one of two messages:
If you’re using the default date for that session, a warning message appears, and you can click OK to continue.
If you manually enter the date, a warning message asks if you want to proceed. If you click Yes with the date entered, a record is written to the Activity Log. If you import records with a document date falling outside of the specified range through Visual Integrator, a warning is written to the Import Log.
