Sage Adds Strategic Hosting Provider Option to Sage 100 Partner Cloud

by Leave a Comment

Sage has launched an additional option for Sage 100 customers who haven’t yet moved to the cloud. Sage adds a Strategic Hosting Provider option which joins the Sage Partner Cloud program, an offering where partners act as the service provider using an Azure platform and provisioning portal.

The Strategic Hosting Provider utilizes existing cloud providers and is available for Sage partners wishing to use an accredited hosting provider in moving their Sage 100 customers to the cloud. The Strategic Hosting Providers must meet a stringent process to become accredited by Sage.

To help customers off-plan who would like to come back and also transition to the cloud Sage has unveiled the following promotions which apply to both on-plan and off-plan users.

Sage 100 Promotions For Moving To The Cloud

For existing Sage 100 users who’ve been off-plan between 12 and 48 months, the following opportunity applies.

Come back on plan with Sage 100 and save 40% off first-year renewal.

  1. Customers 1 to 2 years off plan must have a renewal value of $10,000 or more. After applying the discount the final price cannot be below $10,000
  2. Customers on plan for 2 years or longer must have a renewal value of $5,000 or more and their final price cannot be under $5,000 after applying the discount.
  3. The 40% discount only applies to Sage 100 products and user counts ( licenses ) in use when the company went off plan.
  4. Customers must renew with (a) Sage Partner Cloud or (b) Sage Strategic Hosting Provider ( additional fee applies for hosting which presumably is not subject to the 40% discount )
  5. Promotion valid July 1, 2021 through 9/20, 2022.

For existing Sage 100 users who are on-plan and wish to move to the cloud using Sage Partner Cloud ( does not apply to the use of Sage Strategic Hosting Provider).

  1. Receive 25% off the list price for all Sage Partner Cloud bundles in the first year, 15% off in the second year
  2. Applies to annual subscription only
  3. Existing subscription customers must purchase equal or greater number of users
  4. Cannot be combined with other promotional offers
  5. Not valid for Strategic Hosting Provider program

Cloud hosting for Sage 100 has been available for many years. For a more thorough discussion of whether cloud hosting of your accounting solution is appropriate, we advise you to discuss whether a move to the cloud with your Sage partner. Many partners have developed relationships with providers and can share feedback on the pros and cons of various ways available to migrate to the cloud ( and if it’s the right move for your company ).

Sage to end support for Internet Explorer in accounting integrated Sage CRM 2022 R1

by

From the Sage City community comes this announcement which is triggered by Microsoft ending mainstream support for Internet Explorer in June 2022.

Advisory: Sage to end support for Internet Explorer in accounting integrated Sage CRM 2022 R1 – Sage 100 Announcements, News, and Alerts – Sage 100 – Sage City Community
— Read on www.sagecity.com/support_communities/sage100_erp/f/sage-100-announcements-news-tips/170222/advisory-sage-to-end-support-for-internet-explorer-in-accounting-integrated-sage-crm-2022-r1

Sage 100 Paperless Office Output Options Defined

by

Sage 100 allows for a convenient way to send invoices, orders and statements via email. This occurs via their Paperless Office functionality which is part of Sage 100 and converts output to a PDF.

During the printing process you’ve likely noted the myriad of options that can be selected for paperless office output.

  • Print All
  • Electronically Deliver Only
  • Print/PDF for Print Delivery Option
  • Print/PDF All and Electronically Deliver
  • Print/PDF or Electronically Deliver
  • Print/PDF All
  • PDF All

What exactly are these options and how do they impact your document flow?

Sage has a knowledgebase article which reviews each of these options and provides guidance on exactly what they do.

Although this article pertains to the options in Employee and Customer Maintenance, you’ll notice the information also applies to options presented when you print a form and Paperless Office is enabled.

There are a number of other items that this knowledgebase article points out which are important considerations when using Paperless Office.

Settings on this screen will not be retained when using the STANDARD form. If you want to retain the settings, create a new form code.

If Paperless Office does not email customer or vendors forms but no error is displayed:

You can use the Paperless Customer/Vendor Viewer to confirm PDF Exists = Y, and Sent = Y.

If PDF Exists = N then confirm that a Paperless Office Output option (such as Print/PDF and Electronic Delivery) is chosen when Printing.

One or more Avatax objects could not be created. The Avalara Avatax adapter.dll must be registered to continue

by

If you are using Avalara integrated to Sage 100 then you may have run into this error message on one or more of your workstations.

One or more Avatax objects could not be created. The Avalara Avatax adapter.dll must be registered to continue

This error should only occur on Sage 100 Standard as both Advanced and Premium will use the components from the server.

Here’s how to fix the problem.

On the local workstation you must be an Administrator or the needed DLL files might not register.

First, copy the .\mas90\Avatax folder from the server to the local c:\ of the workstation you are receiving the error on.

  • Copy and paste these three files from c:\avatax into the local c:\windows\sysWOW64
  • I copy all three of these files
    • Avalara.AvaTax.Adapter.dll
    • Avalara.AvaTax.Adapter.dll.config
    • Avalara.AvaTax.Adapter.tlb

Edit the register_for_com.bat file in the c:\avatax folder and stick a PAUSE at the end so you can read the results or it will be difficult to know for sure if your DLL registers.

To manually register the file:

  1. Open the c:\AvaTax folder on each workstation, and then right-click and run as administrator register_for_com.bat
  2. MUST HAVE FULL ADMINISTRATOR RIGHTS ON THE COMPUTER
  3. Link to manual: https://www.dsdinc.com/enh/downloads/LMAV700.pdf

Once you’ve done this your Sage 100 should no longer have an error message related to “One or more Avatax objects could not be created. The Avalara Avatax adapter.dll must be registered to continue”.

If the above did not work (a) be sure you’re a local administrator and (b) review the batch file progress which is possible by editing and adding a “PAUSE” command at the end of the bat.

If you are on a 64-bit OS – be sure you copied the three files mentioned above into c:\windows\sysWOW64

If you don’t have a c:\windows\sysWOW64 then use c:\windows\system32
