You may recall that a month ago that we posted an article on Sage 50 and .NET Framework conflicts. At the time we were still gathering information on how this issue would affect Sage users. Today we came across this issue affecting a Sage version 13 aka Sage 50 2007 user.
Everytime the client exited Sage 50, he was encountering the following error…

Sage Ireland have issued a fix for this issue, again caused by updates to the Microsoft .NET Framework (most likely via Windows updates). If you encounter this problem, please ring Support on 071-9146815 and we will install the appropriate fix on your computer.

We have recently become aware of Sage 50 software conflicts with the Microsoft .NET Framework version 3.x and higher. This conflict has manifested itself (so far) in clients being unable to run their daily “check data” routine and Excel Integrated Reporting no longer working.
The issue arises from the fact that Sage 50 accounting software is based on Microsoft .NET Framework version 2.x. If a later version is downloaded to your computer (via Windows automatic updates) for example, and installed, it can cause a conflict with your Sage software and cause it to behave in unexpected ways.
At present we are recommending that if you have Windows Automatic Update turned on, change it to either the “Download updates for me, but let me choose when to install them” option or the “Notify me but don’t automatically download or install them” option. In this way you can choose not to install any Microsoft .NET Framework updates.
If you intend to install any new software please ensure that if it uses the .NET Framework 2.x or lower. Internet Explorer 8 is an example of software that may need to be uninstalled from a machine that is using Sage.
As usual, if you have any queries or need any assistance please contact support@synergynet.ie.

We have just reviewed a Web based Purchase Order system (PO Control.com) which integrates with Sage 50 accounts. This system is of particular relevance to organisations with multiple staff who are raising Purchase Requisitions or Orders over multiple locations. There is a system of Purchase order limits and approvals , with delivery and invoice reconciliation. The approved Purchase invoices can then be exported into Sage 50 accounts thereby eliminating duplication of input. Please contact James for further information .
