Totally New Sage CRM Integration
Sage CRM Integration Now Uses Sage 300cloud Web Screens
The way that Sage CRM integrates with Sage 300 has been totally redesigned to make it easier to set up, and to improve usability and performance. Integration screens now have the same modern look and feel as web screens and perform faster too.
The integration now uses the Sage 300cloud web screens instead of the old Sage 300 Portal which not only makes installation much simpler, but also enhances screen functionality and customization capabilities. Customers must be on Sage 300cloud in order to use integrated Sage CRM with Sage 300 2019.0 and later versions.

Sage 300 2019.1 - Global Enhancements
The following new features and improvements across both Sage 300 and Sage 300cloud include:
Reverse Charges - in Tax Services, you can set up reverse charges (also called customer accounting or self-assessed taxes) for purchases. A reverse charge is a tax amount owed on goods or services you purchase, which you must remit directly to the relevant tax authority, instead of paying it to the vendor.
Withholding Taxes - in Tax Services, you can set up withholding taxes for purchases. A withholding tax is applied when purchasing goods or services from a vendor, and allows you to withhold some or all of either the selling price or the tax amount for a transaction. You then remit the withheld amount to a tax authority on behalf of the vendor.
Other Improvements - several core system improvements have been made, including the Item Finder, AR and PJC modules, and Ops Inquiry.
