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 screens:

• Sage 300 is more secure. We've made some technical upgrades and enhancements to improve overall security. If you are upgrading from a previous version of Sage 300, you may need to make some corresponding changes to your system setup. For more information, see Sage Knowledgebase article 116170.

What's new in Product Update 2

This section contains a summary of new features and changes in Product Update 2.

General improvements

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

• Updated 1099 tax reporting. Accounts Payable supports 1099 tax reporting requirements for tax year 2021. To report amounts as Fish Purchased for Resale, you must manually set up a 1099 code for this and assign the new code to related vendors.
• Vendor tax numbers are more secure. In Accounts Payable, we have made tax numbers for vendors (such as SSN and SIN numbers) more secure. By default, tax numbers now cannot be entered or changed, and are masked so that only the last four characters in the number are displayed. For example, a nine-digit tax number looks like this: *****4484.

  Also, by default the following screens and reports do not appear:

  • A/P Print 1099/1096 Forms Screen
  • A/P 1099 Electronic Filing Screen
  • A/P Print T5018 (CPRS) Forms Screen
  • A/P T5018 (CPRS) Electronic Filing Screen

  To enter or change tax numbers, to see full (unmasked) tax numbers, and to see the the screens and reports listed above, a user must be assigned the Tax Number Maintenance security authorization for Accounts Payable. This security authorization is new, and is not assigned to any users automatically; you must assign it to any users who need to maintain tax numbers.

• User passwords are more secure. We've made some changes to user passwords to make Sage 300 more secure. In Sage 300 Database Setup, on the Advanced Security Settings screen:
  • A new Increase required complexity option lets you require that passwords include at least one of each of the following:
    • Lower case letter
    • Upper case letter
    • Number
    • Special character (such as * or #)

    Note: If you use Sage Fixed Assets integrated with Sage 300, do not select the Increase required complexity option, because Sage Fixed Assets does not currently support passwords with the increased level of complexity.

  • If you specify a minimum password length, it must be at least 8 characters.

  For more information, see Setting Up Global Security.

• Email documents using Microsoft 365. You can now set up Sage 300 to email documents using Microsoft 365. To do so, select Microsoft Graph in the new Email Service field on the Email tab of the Company Profile screen.

  For more information, see Setting Up Email.

Sage 300cloud web screens improvements

What's new in Product Update 1

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

Sage 300cloud web screens improvements

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

• Enter job-related documents in Accounts Payable. You can now enter and work with job-related documents on the A/P Invoice Entry screen.
• 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.
• Improved way of entering information in some fields. For selected fields, new buttons are available that allow you to specify a value more quickly and easily by going to the first or last value, or to the next or previous value. For example, the Vendor Number field on the A/P Vendors screen:

  

• Improved experience when signing in. We’ve improved the experience of signing in to web screens, including a fresh new look. And if a problem prevents you from signing in, you’ll see a more informative message explaining what went wrong.

What's new in Sage 300 2022

This section contains a summary of new features and changes in the 2022 release.

Integration Access Pack (IAP) licenses are no longer supported

For applications that previously used IAP licenses to access Sage 300 programs, a LanPak license is now used instead of the IAP License.

General improvements

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

• Enter negative additional costs on P/O credit notes. When entering a credit note on the P/O Credit/Debit Note Entry screen, you can now enter negative amounts for costs on the Additional Costs tab (for example, for shipping or restocking fees you paid as a result of returning an item). Such negative additional costs are recorded as debits when you run day-end processing.
• Easily set the expected arrival date and location for all details on a purchase order. Two new buttons are available on the Order tab of the P/O Purchase Order Entry screen:
  • Set Arrival Date. Clicking this button sets the expected arrival date for all details on a purchase order to be the same as the arrival date for the purchase order.
  • Set Location. Clicking this button sets the location for all details on a purchase order to be the same as the ship-to location for the purchase order.
• Easily set the expected ship date and location for all details on an order. Two new buttons are available on the Order tab of the O/E Order Entry screen:
  • Set Ship Date. Clicking this button sets the expected ship date for all details on an order to be the same as the expected ship date for the order.
  • Set Location. Clicking this button sets the location for all details on an order to be the same as the default location for the order.
• Reserve LanPak licenses for specific users. A new Reserve a LanPak License option on the Users screen allows you to reserve one LanPak license exclusively for a user.

  Information about reserved licenses (how many licenses are reserved, and how many reserved licenses are in use) is available on the Current Users screen.

  Reserving LanPak licenses reduces the total number of licenses that can be used by other users, because a reserved license can be used only by the user for whom it is reserved.

• 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.

• Sage Data & Analytics. If you use Sage Data & Analytics you can now start it from within Sage 300, in the following ways:
  • In desktop screens, click Sage Data & Analytics on the desktop ribbon.
  • In web screens, open it from Business Intelligence Reporting on the navigation menu.

  To start Sage Data & Analytics as described above, you must enter your Sage Data & Analytics web address subdomain on the Company Profile screen (in a new Web Address Subdomain field). For more information, see Company Profile Screen.

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 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.

Here's a quick overview of what's new in Sage 300cloud web screens:

• New Reminder List web screen. This release includes a new Reminder List web screen that you can use to remind users to process scheduled tasks.
• New G/L Chart of Accounts web screen. This release includes a new Chart of Accounts web screen for General Ledger, which you can use to list accounts in the general ledger and view specific information for each account.
• New A/R Customer List web screen. This release includes a new Customer List web screen for Accounts Receivable, which you can use to extract customer information from your database.
• Project and Job Costing web screens. This release includes select Project and Job Costing web screens:
  • Cost Types. Use this screen to define classifications for cost reporting that are not available by default.
  • Opening Balances. Use this screen to enter opening balances so that you can transfer contracts to Sage 300.
  • Costs. Use this screen to post miscellaneous cost transactions without affecting Accounts Payable.
  • Material Returns. Use this screen to return unused materials (items) to Inventory Control.
  • Material Usage. Use this screen to record costs of materials (items) used on a project. The costs of the materials are transferred from Inventory Control to the project.
  • Material Allocation. Use this screen to reduce the amount of material stored for a project as the material is used.
  • Post Transactions. Use this screen to post transactions to contracts.
  • Transaction Listing Report. Use this screen to produce a record of your Project and Job Costing transactions.
• Improved Finder. The improved Finder that we introduced on some screens in Sage 300cloud 2021.2 is now available on all web screens. The redesigned Finder improves filtering and makes it easier to navigate through large sets of results. Improvements include:
  • When you open the Finder, initial selection criteria are set as follows:
    • If you have previously used the Finder in the particular context (say, for a specific field), it has the same selection criteria that you last used for the Finder in this context.
    • If you have never used the Finder in this context, selection criteria show all available records.
  • You can change the size of the Finder to make finding records easier. For example, making the Finder bigger lets you see more results at a time.
  • Keyboard shortcuts can be used to navigate through results and select records.

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).

• Fixed a problem on the Copy Orders screen that could occur if you use Pricing Unit as the Default Order UOM (this is set on the Processing tab of the O/E Options screen), which prevented you from copying orders for a customer if an inventory location is not specified for the customer (on the Invoicing tab of the A/R Customers screen).

Signing in to Web Screens

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)
• Fixed a problem on the Receipt Entry screen in Sage 300cloud web screens, which could prevent you from viewing or modifying optional fields. (Reference #8008699063)

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)

General Ledger

• Fixed a problem on the Create Allocation Batch screen in Sage 300cloud web screens, which could prevent you from making a selection in the Create Batch For field. (Reference #8008256472)
• Fixed a problem that occurred if you use multicurrency accounting, which caused incorrect exchange rates to be entered in G/L transactions for bank entries. (Reference #8008689707)
• In Sage 300cloud web screens, when you export the Transactions Listing report in Excel format, information on the report is aligned correctly. (Reference #8008805145)

Inventory Control

• If you select the Allow Fractional Quantities option on the I/C Options screen, when you save your changes you are asked to confirm that you want to allow fractional quantities. (Reference #8008728369)
• 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, you can enter and change information on the Customer Bill-To Address screen. (Reference #8008598406)
• 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).
• Fixed a problem that occurred if you changed the address for a company while promoting that company from Sage CRM to Sage 300, which prevented the address change from appearing in most Sage CRM screens (though the address change did appear in Sage 300).

Compatibility changes in this release include:

• Sage 300 supports Windows 11.

Installing product updates

After installing a product update:

• If you use Sage 300cloud web screens, you must use Database Setup to configure the Portal database again.
• If you use Sage CRM integrated with Sage 300, you must upgrade your CRM integration as follows:
  • Install the Sage CRM integration for Sage 300, which is available on Sage Knowledgebase article 45434.
  • Uninstall and then reinstall the Sage CRM Synchronization Component. (Use the Sage CRM Workstation Setup screen in Sage 300 to install the Sage CRM Synchronization Component.)
• If you use Sage Intelligence Reporting Cloud, you must customize some Sage 300 program files, and then you must reset IIS. For more information, see Sage Knowledgebase article 84722.
• You should clear your browser’s cache. (Some fixes included in the update may not take effect until you do.)
• On any workstations you use, you must reinstall workstation setup as the Windows administrator user if:
  • The product update includes changes to workstation setup.
  • An earlier product update includes changes to workstation setup, and you have not previously installed that product update or any other subsequent product update.

    Example: Suppose that the current Product Update is 5. Product Update 2 includes changes to workstation setup, and the other product updates do not. You have been using Product Update 1. You did not install Product Update 2, 3, or 4. You have now installed Product Update 5. To update your workstations with the changes to workstation setup that were included in Product Update 2, you must reinstall workstation setup.

  The following product updates include changes to workstation setup:

  • Product Update 2

Sage Intelligence Reporting Cloud

Sage Intelligence Reporting Cloud is a financial reporting tool integrated with Sage 300cloud.

To use Sage Intelligence Reporting Cloud:

• You must customize some Sage 300 program files, and then you must reset IIS. For more information, see Sage Knowledgebase article 84722.
• Each user who will use Sage Intelligence Reporting Cloud must be assigned to a security group with Financial Reporter security authorization for Sage 300 General Ledger and Sage 300 Web API security authorization for Sage 300 Common Services.

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.
