Sage 100 Technical Alert

Action May Be Required Soon

Sage has announced that there are two important technical updates approaching that may impact Sage 100 customers that are not on a recent product release.

Microsoft Will Disable Basic Authentication

Effective October 1, 2022, Microsoft will disable basic authentication and subsequently require the use of modern authentication (OAuth) for connection to servers, services, and API endpoints, such as Exchange online & Office 365 email tenants.

This means that in-product email services will stop working (i.e. sending email through Paperless Office) for Sage 100 customers that are on versions prior to 2020.1.

As such, Sage recommends that all customers upgrade to the latest version of Sage 100 by October 1, 2022.

Transport Layer Security 1.0 and 1.1 Deprecation

Transport Layer Security (TLS) is a third-party component that is widely adopted and designed to facilitate privacy and data security when communicating over the internet. TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 were formally deprecated in June 2018, making way for the recommended use of TLS 1.2.

As such, effective September 2023, Sage 100 will no longer support TLS 1.0 and 1.1. It will be necessary for customers to upgrade to Sage 100 version 2020.1 or higher by that time.

New Releases of Sage 100 and Payroll

Sage recently announced the release of Sage 100 2022.1 and Sage 100 Payroll 2.22.2. While both new releases focus primarily on performance enhancements and bug fixes, here are a couple of key new features that were introduced:

The Inventory Requirements Planning (IRP) module is now compatible with Sage 100 version 2022.0 of Production Management. As of the 2022.1 release, the updated version of IRP will be automatically installed when you upgrade. In Sage 100 Payroll 2.22.2, you can now create A/P invoices from Payroll for payroll taxes and deductions.
