Every day we're in touch with our clients.  It might be a support call.  It might be an onsite visit.  It might be an email asking is it possible to . . .

This week . . .

We used the power of Custom Office (scripting) to warn the user if they enter an Invoice Date that is more than 30 days before or after today.  This will prevent posting to the wrong year.

We modified the Invoice Register, Check Register, and Manual Check Register to print a large warning notice in red that the register was being posted to a date that is more than 30 days before or after today.  This will prevent posting to wrong periods.  Standard Sage 100 (within Company Maintenance) has an option to prevent posting outside of the current and one future period, but these report changes give the user more flexibility and the ability to post to any period.

Using Custom Office (user defined fields and scripting) and Crystal Reports, we set up a system to generate individual refund cheques to customers without having to setup each customer as a separate vendor.  Without these tools, we would have had to set up each customer as a separate vendor in order to be able to get a cheque printed with different names and addresses.  Over 100 refund cheques are issued each month, so an efficient solution was required.  Problem solved!
