Sage 300 2017 Product Update 7 Release Notes

Product Update 7 contains a modified version of one or more Sage 300 program components. It is not a full upgrade or a product replacement. It is valid only until we release the next product update or the next version of Sage 300.

Depending on your purchase agreement, some features described here may not be available in your product.

Microsoft .NET Framework Update

Sage 300 and Sage 300c 2017 require Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6.2. If you have not installed .NET Framework 4.6.2, you will be prompted to install it during installation of this product update, and you will need to restart your computer after installation is complete.

• To download and install Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6.2, visit Microsoft Download Center article 53344.
• For more information, see Knowledgebase article 78004.

Updating Programs

After installing this product update:

• If you use Sage 300c web screens, you must:
  • Use Database Setup to configure the Portal database again.
  • Restart IIS after activating your data.
• You should clear your browser’s cache. (Some fixes included in the update will not take effect until you do.)

  If you use Web Deployment, you may also need to delete some downloaded files to ensure that this product update is installed correctly.

  For more information, see Knowledgebase article 34330.

Upgrading to Later Versions

Compatibility with Sage Programs

For a complete list of compatible programs, database platforms, and operating systems, see the Sage 300 2017 Compatibility Guide in the Sage Knowledgebase.

Known Issues

• If you use Sage 300c web screens but have not configured them to use HTTPS, the first time you open Sage Intelligence Reporting Cloud from web screens, a warning message informs you that your connection is not private. You can safely disregard this message and proceed to Sage Intelligence Reporting Cloud.

  Note: For your security, Sage recommends configuring web screens to use HTTPS. For more information, see Chapter 5 "Configuring Sage 300 Web Screens or Portal" in the Sage 300 Installation and Administration Guide.

• When using the Notes screen on the Sage 300 classic desktop:

  • When adding or editing a note, the text editing area and toolbar appear only if you have enabled active scripting and scripting of Java applets in Internet Explorer security settings. For more information, see Knowledgebase article 76898.
  • The Notes screen does not appear correctly if you use the Medium - 125% display size (specified in Windows control panel). For more information, see Knowledgebase article 76926.
• Some periodic processing web screens that should be usable only when a single user is signed in may be usable even when multiple users are signed in. Before using such screens, ensure that all other users have signed out of all Sage 300 classic screens and Sage 300c web screens. (Examples of screens that should be usable only when a single user is signed in include G/L Create New Year, G/L Period End Maintenance, Bank Post Reconciliation, A/P Year End, A/R Year End, O/E Clear History, and P/O Clear History.)
• When previewing reports in Sage 300c web screens, information in some reports is not aligned correctly. To work around this issue, export the report to PDF format. For more information, see Knowledgebase article 76337.
• If you use the Web Deployment option, when signing in for the first time after upgrading to Sage 300 2017 from an earlier version, the Sage 300 Web Session Manager prompts you to install an earlier version of Sage 300 .NET Libraries instead of Sage 300 .NET Libraries 2017. For instructions on how to work around this issue, see Knowledgebase article 76601.
• Sage 300 uses components of Microsoft Internet Explorer to display help topics. If the Enhanced Security Configuration setting is turned on for your browser, you will receive an error message when you try to display certain help topics. To display help correctly for all topics and to prevent the error message, you must add the following site to the list of Trusted sites in Internet Explorer: about:security_A4WCONTAINERXP.EXE.
• If you are using Sage 300 on a workstation in a client-server environment, you could have trouble viewing help. For example, your browser might display the message "Page cannot be displayed." For a solution, see Sage Knowledgebase article 18477, or Microsoft support article 896054.

Purchase Orders

• In Sage 300c web screens on the Create PO From Requisition screen, when you use the Finder for the Requisition Number field, the Search button in the Finder is not available. Previously, this button looked like it was available, but if you clicked it an error message appeared.

Product Update 6 New Features and Enhancements

The following sections describe new features and enhancements included in Product Update 6.

Simplified Process for Updating Workstations

When installing a product update that includes changes to workstation setup, you now update workstations by simply reinstalling workstation setup. You no longer need to uninstall workstation setup first.

Sage 300c Web Screens

If you use Sage 300c web screens, the following new features and enhancements are available:

• Improved way of selecting report formats. On reports that use an RPT file to determine the print layout, you now select the report format using a Finder instead of a Browse button. The Finder allows you to search through all RPT files that are available in the default directory and any customization directories assigned to you.

  Note: To use custom reports in Sage 300c Web Screens, the Sage 300 application pool’s identity account in IIS Manager must have Read and Execute access rights to Customization directory.

EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Sage 300 Anonymizer

The GDPR is a set of laws that comes into force on May 25, 2018. The GDPR applies to you if you process or hold the personal data of people residing in the European Union, even if your company is located outside the EU.

In some situations, the GDPR may legally require you to stop holding personal data for an individual. In part, this means removing a customer or vendor’s personal data (such as their name and address) from Sage 300. A new tool—Sage 300 Anonymizer—helps you do this. To download Sage 300 Anonymizer and learn more about using it, see Knowledgebase article 88838.

Payroll Cheque Exporter for Canadian Payroll

A new Payroll Cheque Exporter tool lets you export data from payroll cheques. The data is exported to a file that you can open in Microsoft Excel to analyze payroll history (for example, to help determine vacation/holiday pay). To download the Payroll Cheque Exporter and learn more about it, see Knowledgebase article 90019.

Product Update 6 Program Fixes

The following sections describe program fixes included in Product Update 6.

Order Entry

• Fixed a problem that could occur when creating an order from quotes, which set the Tax Included field for details on the order to “No”, regardless of whether “Yes” was specified on the quotes. This problem occurred if you selected the From Multiple Quotes option on the Order Entry screen, and then used the Create Order from Quotes screen to select quotes.

Project and Job Costing

• Fixed a problem with the Posted Documents section of the Clear History screen, which caused posted documents to always be cleared based on Transaction Date, even if you selected Year/Period in the Cutoff By field.

Product Update 1 Program Fixes

The following sections describe program fixes included in Product Update 1.

Importing and Exporting

• Fixed a problem that could prevent you from importing data to a Sage 300c web screen after exporting the data from the corresponding desktop screen. (Small differences in field names in the exported Excel file caused the import to fail.)
