What’s New in Sage 300 v2021:
- Improved Security – When you install Sage 300 2021 new (rather than upgrading from a previous version of Sage 300), security is turned on by default. User passwords must include both letters and numbers, and be at least 8 characters long.
- Support for Withholding Sales Tax – Sage 300cloud can now withhold sales tax at the point of sale and record those transactions as needed. This is very helpful for 300cloud users who do business with organizations in different tax jurisdictions or who have a different tax requirements. Need to withhold taxes on purchases too? No problem, Sage rolled out that capability just last year.
- Increased Check # Field Length – Some customers require larger check and deposit number fields, so Sage 300 v2021 has increased the field size from 9 to 15 digits.
- Invoicing – New Pay Now button with Stripe & Paypal – Sage has partnered with PayPal and Stripe to help you send invoices and accept payments online quickly and simply. Invoicing capabilities are built directly within Sage 300cloud. Payments made using the Sage 300 e-invoicing feature will automatically create AR entries in 300 which saves you time and reduces errors. Payments will be remitted to your business account with the payment providers’ fees recorded as a bank entry to record the expense in Sage 300.
- Control Customer Account Set in OE Order – You can now specify customer account sets in Order Entry templates. If you enter a transaction in Order Entry for a customer with no record in Accounts Receivable, the customer account set specified in the O/E template will be entered by default.
- BOM # Available with Order & Credit Note Screens – Specify BOM numbers on details for shipments, credit notes, and debit notes. For a transaction that was created from scratch in the O/E Shipment Entry or O/E Credit/Debit Note Entry screens (that is, a shipment not created from an order, or a credit/debit note not created from an invoice), when entering a detail for a Bill of Material (BOM), you can now specify a BOM number in the Kit/BOM field.
- Web Screen Enhancement– Text Sizing – See more information by making text smaller. A new Text Size setting lets you change the size of text on web screens to smaller sizes than the default “large.” Using smaller text lets you see more fields and controls without having to scroll down.
