The Impact of Sage 100 Payroll 2.23 and Sage 100 2022 IRD on DSD Enhancements & Custom Programming

DSD Business Systems notified its user's about the latest Sage updates and more specifically which of the DSD enhancements might need an update as a result:

The 2022 IRD for Sage 100 affected one DSD Enhancement: AP-1016. If you have any users with this enhancement, you will need to download the latest version from the DSD website (make sure you select the proper version) and reinstall after you install the 2022 IRD. There is no re-unlock or DSD conversion required.

The Payroll 2.23 that was just released by Sage affected ALL DSD Enhancements for Payroll (PR), Time Track (TC), and Electronic Reporting (MR).

After you install the new Payroll 2.23, download the latest enhancement DSD website (make sure you select the proper version) and reinstall it after you install Payroll 2.23. You will need to re-unlock the DSD Enhancement by going to the DSD Enhancement Control Panel, selecting Unlock All Products, and doing a File Unlock (not a Web Unlock). Next, run the DSD Conversion for the Payroll Enhancement by selecting the DSD Enhancement and doing a Multi-Convert Data. This process can be done after you run the standard Sage Company Conversion.

The email, which can be viewed here, also contains important deadline information for users who plan to use Aatrix for the electronic filing of their year-end forms.

SAGE 100 NEWS NOBODY READS UNTIL IT'S TOO LATE

Four Reasons Your Sage 100 System May Only Show Deferred Printers

• A deferred printer is the only option available in the Printer selection list
• Deferred printing is the only option available when printing forms or reports
• Deferred and Export printer is the only option available in the Printer selection list
• This may occur for one user, or for all users
• The preview button can not be selected even for Deferred, or perhaps "Preview is not available on workstations that have the Sage 100 server path set to NO ACCESS".

Have you ever tried printing from a Sage 100 workstation and noticed that “Deferred Print” is your only printer available?

According to Sage, there are four common reasons for this:

1. Invalid Windows Printer
2. Insufficient Windows Permissions
3. The Reports Folder is Missing
4. Access to Mapped Drives or Network Resources are Inadequate

Sage has a number of suggestions for diagnosing this issue. In most cases, you’ll want to have someone log in as a domain-level administrator and then test whether the issue persists.

For more suggestions see the Sage KB link below

Via Sage KB 19709 - Deferred printer is the only option available when accessing a Printing task
