What Version of Sage 100 Should I Be On?

Sage 100.JPG

  • Upgrade to version 2018 if you do not run Payroll, Job Cost or Timecard.  We have seen several issues surface with these rewritten modules in version 2018 and suggest more time be allocated for others to work out the issues.
  • Upgrade to version 2017 for all those running Payroll, Job Cost or Timecard.
  • This is the last year for year-end updates on version 2016.
  • Support for version 2015 is ending on 9/30/2018 and there will not be any year end updates.

SUpreme Court Image.jpg

Can a state require an out-of-state retailer to collect and remit sales tax?  Per the latest ruling, the answer is yes if an out-of-state seller delivers more than $100,000 of goods or services, or engages in 200 or more separate transactions per year in a state.

Read the article in Accounting Today on the Supreme Court Sales Tax Ruling.

For Sage 100 users, consider using Avalara to calculate and report on sales tax in states other than Wisconsin.  Learn More
