Sage 200 2024 R2 New Release Information

Exciting Release: Sage 200 2024 R2

We are thrilled to announce the release of Sage 200 2024 R2, packed with innovative features designed to enhance your business operations and streamline your workflows. This release brings significant updates to both the Sage 200 desktop and the Web Portal, ensuring a seamless and efficient experience for all users.

New Features in the Sage 200 Desktop

Bank Feeds

Managing your bank transactions has never been easier. With the new update, you can now import bank transactions from a file, perfect for those whose banks do not support direct download of bank feeds. Additionally, Sage have made some changes to the Sage bank feeds service. If you’re already using bank feeds, a brief update will be required the next time you use this feature to ensure everything runs smoothly post upgrade.

Sales Orders

Sage understands the importance of flexibility in managing sales orders. Now, when you change the requested or promised dates for an order, quotation, or pro forma, you can choose to update the dates for all items in that order. This feature simplifies the process and ensures consistency across your documentation.

General Updates

Sage have listened to your feedback from the ideas hub and increased the length of references from 20 to 40 characters for customer transactions, supplier transactions, and nominal transactions. Additionally, they have withdrawn the Sage Contact app to streamline their offerings and focus on enhancing other features.

New Features in the Web Portal

General Updates

Like the desktop version, the Web Portal now supports references up to 40 characters for customer transactions, supplier transactions, and nominal transactions. This update ensures consistency and ease of use across all platforms.
