Sage 200 2024 R2

Enhanced Bank Feeds
With this latest update, managing bank transactions has become easier than ever. Now, you can import bank transactions directly from a file, offering more flexibility for banks that don’t support direct bank feed downloads. If you’re already using the bank feeds service, a brief update may be needed the next time you access it. This new capability helps you maintain a smooth banking process with minimal disruptions.

Streamlined Sales Order Management
Sage has introduced new levels of flexibility for handling sales orders. You can now update requested or promised dates across all items in an order, quotation, or pro forma with a single adjustment. This time-saving feature simplifies your workflow and ensures consistent date updates across documents.

Expanded Reference Fields
One of the most popular requests on the Ideas Hub was for expanded reference fields, and Sage listened. With character limits for references increased to 40 characters, entering longer vendor reference numbers is now a breeze. This update applies to customer, supplier, and nominal transactions, adding much-needed space for detailed reference tracking.

Web Portal Enhancements
The Web Portal now mirrors the desktop’s expanded reference fields, enabling consistent tracking across platforms and improving the user experience whether you’re on the go or at your desk.
