What Sage Intelligence Features Are Included As Part Of Your Sage 100 Annual Maintenance?

April 28, 2016 by Wayne Schulz

 

 

Confused by exactly what Sage Intelligence report writing components are included with your Sage 100 maintenance? You’re not the only one. We’ve received calls from a number of customers in the process of researching FRX financial reporting alternatives.

One great option is to use the included Sage Intelligence reporting,  a portion of which every Sage 100 customer on maintenance has access to.

FRx viewer won’t open after generating report

February 10, 2016 by Wayne Schulz

I just ran into an issue with Sage 100 v2013 and FRX. The customer was using Terminal Service / Citrix for each user. Some users would be able to access FRx however when they printed the report there was no report preview. The previewer was blank ( or appeared to have “ hung “ ).

The fix in this issue was somewhat straightforward and it was all related to a set of local files that each user has stored in their profile as described below.

Search for drildown.ini (NOTE: One l in drildown ) on the local machine.

Open this file in Notepad, and check the AppSize setting. BE CAREFUL making changes in this file as you can cause more problems than you’re trying to fix…but try setting the AppSize to say AppSize=0/0/640/464.

Note: The AppSize appears to be set dynamically by FRx. I observed that when I logged into the system the numbers would change. The above numbers seem to be a good startign point (0/0//640/464).

Location of this file (Note: Change out {insertusername} for the name of the user on the PC)

C:\Users\{insertusername|\AppData\Local\FRx Software\FRx 6.7 folder

Applied fix and it worked.

 

In a Terminal Server / Citrix environment the two key files (stored under local profiles):

  • DRILDOWN
  • FRX

If there is something wrong in either I found that it can cause FRx not to launch although you may get the prompt to login. Once you login you see the FRx Desktop on the taskbar but no program launches as you might expect.

If you have a user that can start FRx in a TS/Citrix environment, and another who cannot. Try taking a copy of the above files from the profile that’s working ( C:\Users\{insertusername|\AppData\Local\FRx Software\FRx 6.7 folder ) and moving it to the profile of the user where FRx won’t start.

Be sure you backup any file you change — BEFORE you change it. And remember, FRx is no longer supported so you should really look at migrating to another of the recommended reporting tools:

  • Sage Intelligence
  • BizNet
  • Renovo

Email me at wayne@s-consult.com or text 860-516-8990 and I can get you information on alternatives to FRx or provide a price on helping you make the switch.

Where Can I Download Sage 100 ERP (fka MAS90 or MAS200) version 2013?

December 14, 2012 by Wayne Schulz

Sage has just turned on their landing page for the new release of Sage 100 ERP 2013.

This release of Sage 100 ERP 2013 is available entirely by download. There are no disks sent by mail.  Luckily the process for downloading the 2.29 GB  file is very simple (see instructions below) and takes under an hour (depending upon your connection speed).

Once downloaded you will have a single self-extracting EXE file which when clicked creates a folder holding the entire installation disk (including Crystal Reports). Separate downloads are needed if you use Sage CRM or Sage Intelligence reporting.

Once downloaded you can install your upgrade (we strongly recommend consulting your Sage business partner first) from the source files on your server.

Schulz Consulting / DSD Business Systems customers should not worry about downloading the file as we’ve already secured copies and will transfer this file (as well as all other files needed to upgrade) onto your servers via the use of Dropbox which will synchronize the files overnight for you.

This update introduces several enhancements to Sage 100 ERP (fka MAS90 and MAS200)

  • Visual Process Flows – Menu “maps” make navigating the system easier than ever.
  • Sage Exchange integration for credit cards now allows for use of credit card swipers (Important: Talk to your partner about the conversion process as it may be more time consuming if you have many years of credit card history. Also please recall that PC Charge is no longer supported on Sage 100 ERP 2013).
  • Customers and vendors may now be designated as inactive.
  • Cleared checks from Bank Reconciliation now show up in Account Payable vendor maintenance.
  • Multiple ERP companies can access a single Sage CRM database.
  • Sage Advisor notifies you when it’s time to upgrade
 

The Sage 100 ERP 2013 software may be downloaded from:
