Sage Indicates Fix For Sage 100 ERP v4.50 (Formerly MAS 90 and 200) Sales Order Double Posting is Imminent
The members of 90 Minds have been tracking a Sage 100 ERP (Formerly MAS90 and MAS200) 4.50 bug since early December 2011 which in certain unexplained situations was silently doubling the Daily Transaction Register (DTR) when postings were made from Sales Oder processing in the most current version of Sage 100 ERP.
The 90 Minds Consulting Group first were notified by one of their members of this issue on December 16, 2011 when Alan Niergarth posted the following in our private forum:
MAS90 4.5.1 duplicate posting in DTR from Sales order invoices. Sage has discovered a bug in the update process that results in duplicate postings in the DTR. The DTR is in balance so it can go unnoticed. Also, it is random so hard to spot. Workaround is to preview the Sales journal, say NO to update and then print the Sales Journal. They are working on a hot fix. My customer found it when the AR TB did not match the GL AR balance. Sage says a couple of other customers have reported it.
This early warning caused many members of the group to halt their upgrade efforts for customers who were using Sales Order processing and Inventory until a fix was made available from Sage. Several customers who had already upgraded experienced this particular bug on v4.50 which required several hours of analysis by our consultant members to find and correct.
It looks as if the waiting may be over. Sage Design Analyst Diane Coffman just indicated today , January 21, 2011, on the LinkedIN MAS 90 and MAS 200 group that :
We have traced the issue down to file pointers, which is beyond what I communicated earlier. Our initial changes have produced favorable results. We are closely reviewing the code to see if any other scenarios could be affected and should be able to provide you with a target correction timeline next week.
Hat tip to 90 Minds member Alan Niergarth of Socius who first spotted this bug. Honorable mention to Sage 100 ERP power consultant Beth Bowers for confirming and following up with Sage.
