WHAT'S NEW IN SAGE 300 2022.2
The second product update for Sage 300 2022 (Version 2022.2) is now available. In this article, we’ll take a look at the enhancements added in this latest software release.
Enhanced Security, Passwords, and Documents
Sage 300 2022.2 includes the following general enhancements:
More Secure Vendor Tax Numbers
In Accounts Payable, vendor tax numbers (SSN and SIN numbers) are more secure. A new default setting disables the ability to enter or change tax numbers, and they are now masked so that only the last four characters in the number are displayed (i.e. a nine-digit tax number looks like this: *****4484). To enter, change, or see unmasked tax numbers, a user must be assigned the ‘Tax Number Maintenance’ security authorization for Accounts Payable.
User Passwords More Secure
New controls have been added that make user passwords more secure. In Sage 300 Database Setup, on the Advanced Security Settings screen, a new 'Increase required complexity' option allows you to specify that passwords include at least one of each of the following: Lower case letter, Upper case letter, Number, and Special character (such as * or #).
Email Documents Using Microsoft 365
You can now set up Sage 300 to email documents using Microsoft 365 by configuring options in the new Email Service field on the Email tab of the Company Profile screen. Refer to these email setup instructions for more detail.
Web and Desktop Screens
Sage 300 2022 Release 2 also includes improvements to both web and desktop screens.
In Sage 300 Web Screens, the 'Enter job-related documents in Accounts Payable' screen now allows you to enter and work with job-related documents on all A/P transaction entry screens. Previously, this option was only available in a couple of select A/P screens.
In Sage 300 Desktop screens, the 'Send test emails using Microsoft Outlook' enables you to send test email when setting up your company profile (on the Email tab of the Company Profile screen).
