In our last newsletter, I discussed the “new normal” and what that meant. The Net at Work team has been fortunate as working remotely is something most of our team have been used to. The bigger challenge was our team working with our clients who were not used to working remotely.

Keeping You Up-To-Date With Information About Sage 100
Sage 100 v2020 Product Update 1
While many of our clients have upgraded to the new Sage 100 version 2020, v2020 Product 1 was released on September 17th. Some of the features that have been incorporated into Sage 100 2020 Product Update 1 include:
Creating a Custom Field in Sage 100
Creating your own fields in Sage 100 is the easiest and quickest way to enhance your ERP. We will go through the steps to create a new field and add it to a screen in Sage.
Sage 100 1099-MISC / 1099-NEC
As many of you know, the IRS has created a new form to handle Non-Employee Compensation, called the 1099-NEC. In the past, 1099-MISC would handle non-employee compensation in box 7, however, when you file for the year 2020, you will need to use the 1099-NEC for non-employee compensation over $600.
Sage Fixed Assets (FAS) Consolidated Reporting
Did you know you can generate reports that reflect more than one FAS company? This is made possible by the Merge Companies feature. When two or more companies are merged together, the original companies remain unchanged.
Protecting Business Continuity in the Event of a Coronavirus-based Cyberattack
The unprecedented global pandemic COVID-19 is impacting businesses in ways never before seen. In a recent CNBC survey, more than one-third of senior technology executives said cybersecurity risks have increased as a majority of their employees work from home, and 53% say their firm hasn’t stress-tested their system for an event like this.

Sage 100 Quick TipsBy Brett Zimmerman, Senior Business Analyst / Consultant
What file do I edit for a report on a custom reports menu in Sage 100?
Each module in Sage 100 has a Custom Reports menu. This is often where custom ‘Crystal Reports’ reside. So what if you need to make a change to one of these reports? Sure, you may already have authorization to navigate to the ..\Reports\ folder on the server, but sometimes it’s not very obvious as to which .rpt file to edit (because of the file-naming convention). Here’s a little trick that’ll help you out*:
- Launch the report via the Custom Reports menu item.
- Change your printer to ‘Export’ and click Print.
- When prompted for Format (use Adobe pdf) and Destination (use Disk), click OK.
- Click OK at the Page #’s prompt.
- Then at the ‘Save’ (Choose Export File) screen, take notice of the filename.
* Specific steps may vary slightly by version.
