A redesign of the Job Cost and Payroll modules to improve performance and usability
Spell checking in several areas including comments, memos, and messages that print on forms (Sage 100c only)
Inactive and restricted statuses for warehouses (Sage 100c only)
Mobility for Bar Code (upgrade of Bar Code module) (Sage 100c only)

New Crystal Reports 2016 (requires uninstalling prior version )

Improvements to the renamed Mobility for Bar Code module, including a simplified import process to extend support for mobile apps
Important: There is a new Crystal Runtime shipping with Sage 100 v2018 which is NOT compatible with earlier versions of Sage 100. The SAP Crystal runtime included with Sage 100 2018 is not backward compatible with previous releases of Sage 100
See the Sage KB 86964 for full details on resolving Crystal Reports Runtime conflicts with Sage 100

If you are also using Sage Fixed Assets 2018 you’ll need to make some additional fixes due to potential conflicts with the version fo Crystal included with SFA 2018 – Sage KB 86606 has the details.

In addition, a product update for Sage 100 v2017 – Sage 100 2017.3 is now available for download – https://goo.gl/HSFyjd

Sage just posted an internal webinar announcement for “See what’s new in the next Sage 100 & Sage 100c & Sage Fixed Assets 2018 Releases” for their partners. The webinar is scheduled for October 11, 2017 with the product availability first schedule for October 20, 2017

(NOTE: In some cases Sage provides partners with the new release in advance of customers so this release date may be variable for end users although I expect by the end of October most will have access to the update).

New features listed:

– Redesign of Job Cost and Payroll to bring them both up to framework
– Spell checking in several areas (comments, memos and messages that print on forms) – 100c feature ONLY
– Inactive and restricted statuses for warehouses – 100c feature only
– Sage mobility for barcode to optimize import record capabilities from a mobile app

Sage Fixed Assets:

– Workflow updates to help support quick and easy ways to manage your business
– Tax compliance updates that can eliminate end-of-year anxiety for tax preparations
– Tracking mobile barcode scanner app for Android to bring modernization to our tracking module

Key takeaways:

– If you’re not already using Sage 100c you should make plans to migrate. In some instances Sage may have promotions to make the transition equal to or the same price as your Sage 100 maintenance.

– Stay current! Sage is moving quickly in what versions they support. In my view you should now be upgrading annually in order to take advantage of all the features that you are paying a subscription form. Many consultant can offer off-hours conversion so that you experience little – if any – downtime during upgrade.
