When is Sage 100 2021 Due for Release?

February 19, 2021 by Wayne Schulz

The latest Sage 100 version 2021 is slated for release on April 21, 2021. This new release offers customers 29 new features, including security and communications enhancements, to improve record-keeping capabilities, expand email options, and much more!

Sage has adhered to what they call an N-2 strategy for support. This means that the current release and two immediate releases are supported by Sage.

Do You Need To Upgrade Immediate?

In most cases companies wait 1 to 3 months before upgrading to the latest release. How long you should wait depends on the complexity of your Sage 100 system.

If you have multiple third-party integrations or enhancements then you may have little choice but to wait until all those enhancements are available for the most current Sage 100 release.

Although Sage officially supports a total of three versions you might find the support for the current and one immediate release also include product updates which are bundles of fixes ( and sometimes enhancements ) .

Where Can I Find More Information About Each New Release?

Sage maintains a site containing the latest what’s new and administrator guides for each version of Sage 100. This site may be accessed without any need to login and is something you should bookmark for future reference.

February 12, 2021 by Wayne Schulz

Sage has just released an initial list of the ISV (Independent Software Vendor) solutions which they have tested and found to work with the initial Sage Partner Cloud offering for Sage 100.

This offering is one where the Sage partners manage the Sage 100 implementation into an Azure cloud environment. Much of this is facilitated by the Sage Provisioning Portal which allows partners to deploy pre-configured virtual images thus streamlining initial setup.

Sage indicates that they will be updating the list of Sage 100 ISV solutions supported in the Sage Partner Cloud on a monthly basis.

Here is the list for January 2021

Sage 100 Directed Picking for your Warehouse

June 4, 2020 by Darcy Boerio

Is your warehouse staff wasting time wandering the aisles of your warehouse picking items haphazardly? Could you increase productivity and speed up fulfillment if orders were picked in a more deliberate manner? 

One solution to this is ScanForce Directed Picking for Sage 100, which is available for users of ScanForce WMS Advanced and Premium.

The concept of Directed Picking is to tell a user on their mobile device where to go within the warehouse to pick the goods and what to get. The device guides the user through the most efficient path based on item locations.

In this recording from ScanForce, join Steve Showalter as he walks you through the process.

This feature works with and without multi-bin. In the demo shown, Steve is referencing a bin location, so in a non multi-bin install this is going to look to the standard bin locations that are set up in Sage 100 inventory item maintenance.

How it works

This demonstration uses the DSD/ScanForce Multi-Bin which leverages the allocation methods back in the multi-bin solution, so it assigns a bin location based on a certain set of rules available within multi-bin.

This allocation can occur automatically at several points. It can also be done manually back at the order level, so what you’ll see is simply an emulation of the mobile screen as is available on iOS and Android devices.

For this video, you’ll see the picking transaction, however the Directed Picking side carries through to the one-step Sage 100 Sales Order shipping if you’re not doing a staging of a Sales Order.

When the user launches Sage 100 Sales Order Picking on the mobile device, ScanForce will prompt for the Sage 100 Sales Order number. From here, the user can scan the order from a picking sheet, key it in, or do a lookup that connects in real-time to the Sage 100 accounting system displaying all available orders.

When the order has been selected, the device will connect up real-time and grab the information from Sage 100, placing it locally on the device. The user can then go stage this order with Multi-Bin by indicating a bin location. Sage can be set to default to a shipping bin, a staging bin, or any bin you’d like.

ScanForce Directed Picking takes over, and the display shows the user where to go and what to get – sorted by bin location as well.

Even though an item may be the first line on the sales order, ScanForce Directed Picking will direct the user to go to a different bin first to get a closer item because it’s sorting by bin locations. This means they’re not going all over the warehouse back and forth again, it’s a Directed Pick.

This also works with lot and serialized inventory type items. ScanForce Directed Picking will direct the user where to get these lot/serial numbers. 

The ScanForce Directed Picking concept is to tell the person where to go using the most efficient route possible so they can quickly and easily pick or ship that Sage Sales Order.
