Usability Enhancements
It’s now easier to get the answers you need quickly with the new Resources button accessed from the Help tab. It provides convenient access to popular resources like the Sage Community Hub, Knowledgebase, Product Documents page, Sage University, and additional services.
In Paperless Office, a new Detail button has been added in the ‘Results of Electronic Delivery’ window that provides details about documents sent to customers and vendors, including the date and time the document was submitted and the status.
When updating or deleting customers, vendors or inventory items, a collection of improvements to the Delete and Change Utilities in A/P, A/R, and I/M make the process more efficient.
Inventory Management Improvements
Based on customer feedback through the Sage 100 Ideas website, two new tasks have been added to the Inventory Management Utilities menu. Delete Warehouses is a new feature that deletes existing warehouse codes which may be necessary when a virtual warehouse (for scrap or returns) is no longer needed, or when a physical warehouse location closes.
Change Warehouses provides functionality to renumber or merge existing warehouse codes in your company data files.
In addition, Sage 100 workflow efficiency has been improved with an option to suppress extended item descriptions in grids, reducing distractions during data entry.
Production Management
Activity Code Maintenance–Improves user efficiency and navigation within the Production Management module by offering a more streamlined and focused lookup experience.
Cost Roll-up Register–Enables more accurate cost calculations in Production Management, providing users with greater flexibility and control over cost analysis and management.
Sales and Purchasing Updates
In the P/O Module, a new Quick Close option simplifies closure of partially received purchase orders during receipt of goods entry. In addition, Sage 100 2024 introduces a new “Received” status for orders received, but not invoiced (previously, these orders displayed as Back Order).
In the S/O module, a new ‘Reset Sales Order …’ automates print flag resets for backorders for better workflow efficiency during sales journal updates. Plus, the new ‘Display Ordered Quantity in Red’ enhances visibility of sales order quantities that surpass inventory thresholds.
Audit Tracking and Reports
Customer, Vendor, Item, and Employee Audit Trail–Track and print detailed audit trails for enhanced security compliance, providing comprehensive monitoring of changes to critical data.
Print when Entity is in Use–uninterrupted access to audit reports, improving workflow efficiency and allowing for seamless reporting even during active data maintenance.
Accounts Payable
Vendor 1099 Form Fields–Simplifies vendor management and compliance by allowing tracking of W-9 forms and encrypted retention of taxpayer IDs or social security numbers.
Library Master
Restricted Mode for Administrator Tasks–Provides administrators with greater flexibility and control over user access, ensuring smoother management of system updates and modifications.
Email Notification for Task Scheduler–Improves task management and workflow reliability by ensuring all scheduled tasks are processed, with notifications to alert users of any issues.
Advanced Lookup Engine
Retain Search Value–Enhances usability and efficiency by retaining search values, reducing user frustration, and streamlining data retrieval within ALE lookups.
Auto-Complete Search Index
Add, Change or Delete Entities Automatically–Improves search performance and eliminates manual tasks, enhancing user productivity and ensuring up-to-date search results for improved data accessibility.
