Sage 100 Version 2016 was released in November of last year. Since then, there have also been two product updates that added additional features. If you’re running an older version of Sage 100 and wondering whether the 2016 release is for you, consider these top 5 reasons to upgrade.
1. Outsourced Payroll Integration
Sage 100 2016 now features a direct integration with Sage Payroll Services - an outsourced payroll processing provider. You simply upload your general ledger account numbers and bank codes to Sage Payroll Services and then easily download payroll transactions right back into Transaction Journal Entry.
In addition to saving tons of time manually rekeying payroll data into your general ledger, you also shift the burden and hassle of payroll processing, tax reporting, and compliance to experts who do all the heavy lifting - so you can focus on running your business.
2. Improved AP Reporting and Printing
A top customer-requested enhancement, the Accounts Payable Aged Invoice Report window now includes an Electronic Payment Vendors field so you can specify whether or not vendors who accept electronic payments are included on the Aged Invoice Report.
3. Affordable Care Act (ACA) Compliance
A collection of new settings, fields, and reports were added in Sage 100 2016 making it easier to manage new compliance requirements of the Affordable Care Act.
4. Easier Credit Card Processing
If you’re using Sage Payment Solutions, managing and processing credit card transactions just got easier. Now you can apply, activate, and manage credit card transactions in the new Sage Payment Center right from within the Sage 100 software. No need to go to a website or launch a separate window. You can view payment activity, settle daily transactions, and search for records all without ever leaving Sage 100.
5. Simplified Everyday Tasks
Sage 100 2016 is packed with enhancements that collectively save you tons of time processing everyday tasks. Some of the popular enhancements include:
