Sage 300cloud web screens improvements

This product update includes the following new features and improvements in Sage 300cloud web screens:

• Improved process for printing custom reports. For customized SAP Crystal Reports® opened from the Reports list, printing now works the same way as for other reports. When printing, a preview of the report is not displayed in the SAP Crystal Reports® viewer. Instead, the Export Report screen appears in a new browser tab, and provides options for saving the report to a file. To print a physical copy of the report, save to a PDF and then print to your printer from the PDF.

What's new in Product Update 3

This section contains a summary of new features and changes in Product Update 3.

General improvements

This product update includes the following new features and improvements in both Sage 300cloud web screens and Sage 300 classic desktop screens:

• Improvements to bank feeds. On the Reconcile E-Statements screen:
  • When automatically reconciling transactions from a bank feed, the system now tries to match transactions in more ways than it did previously. Transactions will now match if certain information in Sage 300 is in the Comment 2 field in the e-statement, even if the Comment 2 field includes additional information (for example, if the payment description in Sage 300 is Check 900 and the Comment 2 field in the e-statement is Invoice 2286 Goods - Check 900).
  • Transactions downloaded using a bank feed have a Bank Cleared Date based on your local time.

    Note: In web screens, the "local" time comes from the system where Sage 300 is running, which may be different from the time on your system.

Microsoft 365 integration with Sage 300

The Sage Contact app (for viewing and managing Sage 300 customer information within Microsoft Outlook) is no longer supported.

Sage 300cloud web screens improvements

This product update includes the following new features and improvements in Sage 300cloud web screens:

• New General Ledger web screens. This release includes the following new web screens for General Ledger:
  • Account History Inquiry. Use this screen to display actual and quantity information for prior years, as well as total quantity and total net change information.
  • Budget Maintenance. Use this screen to enter and display budget information for general ledger accounts.
  • Source Currency Inquiry. Use this screen to display source-currency and functional-currency account balances for a multicurrency account.
• New Accounts Receivable web screens. This release includes the following new web screens for Accounts Receivable:
  • Receipt Inquiry. Use this screen to look up receipts.
  • Refund Inquiry. Use this screen to look up refunds.
• New Users web screen. This release includes a new Users web screen that you can use to add and manage user records.
• Improved Finder. We've redesigned the Finder to improve filtering and make it easier to navigate through large sets of results. The improved Finder is available on many screens—for a list, see Sage Knowledgebase article 108348.
• Speed up data entry with new keyboard shortcuts. We've added new keyboard shortcuts that you can use in web screens:
  • Alt + Down Arrow opens Finders.
  • Esc closes Finders, and most pop-up screens and messages.
• Improved process for printing reports. When printing a report from a report screen or a home page widget, a preview of the report is no longer displayed in the SAP Crystal Reports® viewer. Instead, the Export Report screen appears in a new browser tab, and provides options for saving the report to a file. To print a physical copy of the report, save to a PDF and then print to your printer from the PDF.

  This change does not affect the process for printing customized SAP Crystal Reports® opened from the Reports list.

Sage 300 desktop screens improvements

This product update includes the following new features and improvements in Sage 300 classic desktop screens:

• Customize visual process flows. You can once again create and change custom process flows, though the specifics of how you do this have changed. For details, see the help for Visual Process Flows.

What's new in Product Update 1

This section contains a summary of new features and changes in Product Update 1.

General improvements

This product update includes the following new features and improvements in both Sage 300cloud web screens and Sage 300 classic desktop screens:

• Updated 1099 tax reporting. For tax year 2020, Nonemployee Compensation is reported in box 1 on a new 1099-NEC form (instead of box 7 on the 1099-MISC form where it was reported previously). On the A/P Print 1099/1096 Forms screen, you can now print to the new 1099-NEC form, as well as updated versions of the 1099-MISC and 1096 forms.
• Improved 1099/CPRS codes. 1099/CPRS codes no longer correspond to specific box numbers on forms, because these box numbers may change from year to year (which has happened with several boxes in tax year 2020, including the change to Nonemployee Compensation discussed above).

  Instead of using the code as an indication of the box number where amounts should be reported, for each code you now specify a type of payment (or other amount) to be reported on 1099/CPRS forms. When you print a form for a specific tax year, amounts are automatically printed in the correct boxes for that year.

  To continue using your existing 1099/CPRS codes, update each of them by specifying a tax reporting type (1099 or CPRS) and an amount type. Also, consider creating 1099/CPRS codes with meaningful names for your next reporting cycle (for example, if you currently use code 7 for Nonemployee Compensation, you might replace this code with one named NEC). If you create new codes, ensure that you assign them to vendors in Accounts Payable.

Sage 300cloud web screens improvements

This product update includes the following new features and improvements in Sage 300cloud web screens:

• Improved data integrity checking for integrated products. For some third-party products that integrate with Sage 300, you can specify options to refine data integrity checks.

Sage 300 desktop screens improvements

This product update includes the following new features and improvements in Sage 300 classic desktop screens:

• Updated visual process flows. We have redesigned Visual Process Flows so they no longer require Adobe Flash, because Flash will not be supported after December 2020. This release includes updated versions of the process flow templates that were available previously. You can use these templates as well as any custom process flows that you already have. However, in this release you cannot create or change process flows. The ability to customize process flows will be restored in a future release.

  Also, some things in your custom visual process flows may be different or missing. For details, see Sage Knowledgebase article 107531.

What's new in Sage 300 2021

This section contains a summary of new features and changes in the 2021 release.

Stronger default security settings

When you install Sage 300 2021 new (rather than upgrading from a previous version of Sage 300), security is turned on by default. User passwords must include both letters and numbers, and be at least 8 characters long.

Note: During initial setup, you must change the password for the Sage 300 administrator user, because the default password does not meet the password complexity requirements.

General improvements

This release includes the following new features and improvements in both Sage 300cloud web screens and Sage 300 classic desktop screens:

• Accept payments through online providers. You can now accept payments from your customers through online payment service providers such as PayPal and Stripe. If you use this feature, invoices include a Pay Now button that your customers can click to pay using any online provider you have set up for your company in Sage 300. For more information, see Accepting Payments Through Online Providers.

  

• Withholding taxes for sales. In Tax Services, in addition to withholding taxes for purchases, you can now set up withholding taxes for sales. A withholding tax for a sale is applied when selling goods or services to a customer, and allows you to record amounts (some or all of either the selling price or the tax amount) that your customer withholds for a transaction to remit to a tax authority on your behalf.
• Use longer numbers for checks and deposit slips. You can now enter check numbers and deposit slip numbers that are up to fifteen characters long, except in Sage 300 Payroll, where check numbers can be up to nine characters long.

  If you use third-party products that integrate with Sage 300 Bank Services, check with the vendor of your third-party product to ensure their product is fully compatible with this release.

• Specify customer account sets in O/E templates. You can now specify customer account sets in Order Entry templates. If you enter a transaction in Order Entry for a customer with no record in Accounts Receivable, the customer account set specified in the O/E template will be entered by default.

Sage 300cloud web screens improvements

This release includes the option to install Sage 300cloud web screens: modernized versions of Sage 300 screens that you can use in a web browser.

Web screens run in parallel with the classic Sage 300 desktop screens, so there's no need to choose between desktop or web. Everyone in your organization can use the interface that best suits their needs, while working seamlessly with a single shared set of company data.

To learn more about new web screens and features available in this release, see the following documentation and resources:

• Sage 300cloud web screens online help
• Sage 300cloud web screens getting started guide

Important! To use Sage 300cloud web screens, data must be protected with Secure Socket Layer (SSL). When using Sage 300cloud web screens over an external network or the internet, additional security measures are required, such as a Virtual Private Network (VPN). To determine appropriate security measures, consult with your information technology (IT) professional or Sage Business Partner.

If you use Sage Intelligence Reporting Cloud, we recommend that you configure Sage 300cloud web screens to run in a secured environment using digital certificates. If you do not, warnings will appear in your browser each time you start Sage Intelligence Reporting Cloud. For more information, see Sage Knowledgebase article 84797.

Web screens are available in English, French, Spanish, and Chinese (Simplified and Traditional). Help and documentation for web screens is available in English and French.

Accounts Payable

In Sage 300cloud web screens, when you export the Aged Trial Balance report in Excel Record format, information on the report is aligned correctly. (Reference #8008906831)

When printing checks from the Print Checks screen (for example, for an A/P payment or an A/R refund) using Checks Then Advices as the stock type, two fields – Check Form and Advice Form – appear allowing you to specify a check form and an advice form. (Reference #8008374342)

General Ledger

On the Journal Entry screen, Sales Tax and Purchases Tax journal entries automatically include optional fields that are set up to be auto-inserted for transactions. (Reference #8008834226)

Order Entry

• In Sage 300cloud web screens, emailing quotes and orders from the Order Entry screen is now faster. The increased speed is most noticeable if you have a large database. (Reference #8008803761)
• On the Order Entry screen in Sage 300cloud web screens, the order discount (shown in the Less Order Discount fields on the Totals tab) is always updated if the order subtotal changes. Previously, the order discount was not updated if you changed the order subtotal and immediately posted the order without first viewing the Totals tab. (Reference #8008851326)

Project and Job Costing

Fixed a problem on the Contract Maintenance screen that could prevent you from importing a contract. (Reference #8008895155)

Fixed a problem that could occur when signing in to Sage 300cloud web screens, which required you to sign in twice.

Accounts Receivable

Fixed a problem on the Create Interest Batches screen that occurred if you have optional fields that are set up as required. Regardless of whether or not you entered information in these fields, an “optional field is missing” message appeared and prevented you from creating interest batches. (Reference #8008709438)

Accounts Payable

• Fixed a problem on the Clear History screen that prevented you from clearing history for fully paid documents. (Reference #8008608203)
• Fixed a problem in Sage 300cloud web screens that could occur on the Invoicing tab of the Vendors screen, which prevented you from entering information in the Distribution Code, Distribution Set, or G/L Account field (if one of these methods is specified in the Distribute By field). This problem occurred for vendors who are part of a vendor group that has no default method specified (on the Invoicing tab of the Vendor Groups screen) for distributing invoice amounts to general ledger accounts. (Reference #8008607790)

Inventory Control

On the Lot Numbers Inquiry screen, the Lot Number Finder displays correct information in the Quantity Shippable and Quantity On Order fields. Previously, these fields displayed incorrect information if the Use the Qty Ordered field in OE for the Allocation of Lot Numbers option is selected on the Lots tab of the I/C Options screen, which also caused related data integrity check errors. (Reference #8008757900)

Order Entry

Fixed a problem that could prevent an item’s unit price (specified in Inventory Control) from being automatically entered in the Unit Price field for details in O/E transaction entry screens. This problem occurred only if:

• On the Processing tab of the O/E Options screen, the Default Order UOM field is set to Pricing Unit.
• On the I/C Item Pricing screen, the item is set up as follows:
  • On the Prices tab, the Base Price Type field is set to Base Price Calculated Using a Cost.
  • On the Discounts tab, the Selling Price Based On field is set to anything other than Discount or Markup on Markup Cost.

(Reference #8008665468)

Sage CRM Integration

• In Sage CRM, the Company A/R Promote and Company A/P Promote security authorizations control which features users see for promoting customers and vendors to Sage 300:
  • Users with neither security authorization do not see the Promote to Sage 300 tab.
  • Users with at least one of the security authorizations see the Promote to Sage 300 tab where they can open the Promote to Sage 300 screen, and on that screen they see the features they are authorized to use (for example, a user with Company A/R Promote security authorization sees features for promoting customers to Sage 300 but does not see features for promoting vendors).

Importing and Exporting

Fixed a problem in Sage 300 desktop screens that could cause a “Download and install the Microsoft Data Access Component” message to appear when importing or exporting data. This problem occurred if the Region for your computer is set to French (Canada) in Windows. (Reference #8008489587)

Fixed a problem that could occur when viewing Sage 300cloud web screens using the medium text size setting, which caused some button labels to appear off center. (Reference #8008452936)

Accounts Receivable

• Fixed a problem in Sage 300 desktop screens that could occur when exporting data from the Customers screen if you use the Multiple Contacts (M/T) program, which prevented you from exporting M/T contact records for customers.
• In Sage 300 desktop screens, if Accounts Receivable is integrated with General Ledger and the integration is set up to include descriptions for invoice details in G/L journal entries, when you post a job-related invoice from Accounts Receivable, the G/L journal entries that are automatically created include the correct descriptions for invoice details. (Reference #8008266755)
• Fixed a problem in Sage 300cloud web screens that could prevent you from opening the Aged Trial Balance report. This problem occurred if a “Yes/No” type optional field with no default value specified is set up for Customers, National Accounts, and Customer Groups on the A/R Optional Fields screen. (Reference #8008489730)

Accounts Payable

• Fixed a problem on the Payment Entry screen that could cause payment amounts to be imported incorrectly for miscellaneous payments. (Reference #8008297762)

(Reference #8008266755)
• In Sage 300 desktop screens, files generated from the 1099 Electronic Filing screen do not include “B” records unless they contain amounts for 1099-MISC or 1099-NEC. (Reference #8008548763)

General Ledger

Fixed a problem with Financial Reporter that caused Excel to stop responding when using the FRDESC or FRSDESC function in a financial statement that is set up to create separate reports for different account number segments (instead of a single, consolidated report). (Reference #8008374226)

Inventory Control

• In Sage 300cloud web screens we’ve improved the performance of the Item Pricing screen, so that when you select an item in the Item Number field, information for that item is displayed faster. (Reference #8008396099)
• In Sage 300 desktop screens, if you create an O/E shipment that includes a kitting item with lotted components, correct quantity information for those lotted components appears in the Quantity Reserved for Order field on the I/C Lot Number Inquiry screen. (Reference #8008472107)
• Fixed a problem in Sage 300cloud web screens that could prevent you from opening some reports: Alternate Items, Item Status, Markup Analysis, Price Lists, Sales Statistics, Selling Price/Margin Analysis, Slow Moving Items.

  1. On the Project Maintenance screen, change and then save any project.
  2. On the Contract Maintenance screen, save the contract.

Sage CRM Integration

• In Sage CRM, if you change an O/E quote or order that was originally created in Sage 300, an opportunity ID is not created for the quote or order. (Reference #8008490418)
• When exporting persons from Sage CRM to Sage 300, if a problem with one of the person records prevents it from being exported, the record is skipped and the remaining person records are exported. Also, if the problem is that there is no link between the Sage CRM person record and a Sage 300 contact record, the system will try to create a link by matching contact information in records. (Reference #8008465356)

Ops Inquiry

We've improved the performance of the IC Item Inquiry screen so that information on the Price tab is displayed as soon as you open that tab. (Reference #8008412278)

Development Partner Program

• Fixed a problem in the COM API that occurred when using the AccpacMultiuser.Test() method, which caused a locked resource to return FALSE even though the resource is actually locked. (Reference #8008378162)
• In the Sage 300 Web API, when doing a GET for the ICItems endpoint, the VendorItemNumbers section is retrieved. (Reference #8007529163)
• For Sage 300 desktop screens, added support for BeforeCtlClick and AfterCtlClick events in the A/R Customer Inquiry screen (AR1700) so you can display a customized version of this screen (and prevent the standard version of the screen from appearing). (Reference #8008348207)
• For fields that let the user select values from a drop-down list, list items with an index value of zero appear correctly in the drop-down list. (Previously, list items with an index value of zero appeared as a blank in the drop-down list.). (Reference #8008445118)

Fixed a problem that occurred if you changed a customer’s phone number in Sage 300cloud web screens—on the O/E Ship-To Address screen, O/E Customer Bill-To Address screen, or A/R Ship-To Location Information screen—which caused the updated phone number to be formatted incorrectly in desktop screens. (Reference #8008339169)

Comments for A/R Customers and A/P Vendors

In Sage 300cloud web screens, on the Comments tab of the A/R Customers and A/P Vendors screens, comments that include line breaks (you press Enter or Shift+Enter to create a new line of text in the comment) can be saved correctly.
