Support Tip: Cheque Printing Issue?
From time to time, you may see the message "Check Printing in Process", "Other Check Printing in Progress" or "Bank Code in use by another task" when printing A/P cheques. This typically happens during an interruption in Cheque printing and the system is not able to complete the task properly. The solution is very easy to run and takes less than a second to complete!

 

Verify that no cheque printing tasks are open (manual cheques and system cheques). Always better to do this when everyone is out of Sage 100.

 

1. On the File menu, click Run, and enter GLWSKA in the Program field.
2. In the Bank Code to Clear field, enter the affected bank code, and click Proceed.
3. Click Yes in response to the warning message.
4. Click Exit. 

 

You should now be able to print cheques once again.

 

Warehouse Codes - 3 Characters

Recently, we received a support request from a client that was a bit bizarre. The error message indicated that a warehouse code of "GP " was missing from a file. We found this bizarre because normally we see warehouse codes of 3 characters in length, whereas this error message indicated a two character code plus a blank space. Although Sage 100 does allow you to have warehouse codes of 1, 2, or 3 characters in length, we strongly recommend that you always use 3 characters. In this particular case, the client's warehouse file contained the warehouse code of "GP" (notice, no space) but did not include the warehouse code of "GP " (notice, the extra blank space). The system normally adjusts for the blank space, but some records were storing the blank space which caused the system to complain.

 

Our Advice - Use the full 3 characters when defining your warehouse codes.
