The first update for Sage 100 2023 (2023.1) is now available for download. It’s a minor release with just a couple of feature enhancements that we’ll take a quick look at here.
Lot/Serial Number Distribution
Building on the Inventory and Serial Number management features added in Sage 100 2023, the 2023.1 release continues to streamline workflow with the new ability to pull in the next lot number for distribution by selecting the new “Next Lot Number” button on the Lot/Serial Number Distribution screen in Item Maintenance.
Work Ticket to Purchase Order Post-Conversion Link Utility
You’ll work faster, but more accurately, with the ability to update existing work order links on open purchase order detail lines and match the links to their corresponding open work tickets.
A new Work Ticket to Purchase Order Post-Conversion Link Utility has been added to the Sage 100 Utilities menu that analyzes work order data and provides recommended actions. After running the utility, results are recorded in the System Activity Log.

Upgrading to Sage 100 2023

TLS Compliance Update Required Soon for Sage 100
As previously communicated in our newsletters and by Sage directly, effective October 1, 2023, Sage will be cutting over to a more secure method of transmitting data between your Sage 100 system and the Sage licensing servers. In more technical terms, communication via the less secure TLS 1.0 and 1.1 protocols will no longer be supported.
As such, Sage 100 customers will need to be on a current version that supports TLS 1.2 before October 2023 to prevent disruption of service.
Note: If license keys cannot be updated because your Sage 100 version is not TLS 1.2 compliant, then the software may
go into read-only mode. Please contact us if you have questions about whether your current installation is compliant with TLS 1.2.
The Sage Knowledgebase Gets a Facelift
In July 2023, the look, feel and flow of Sage Knowledgebase was redesigned based on customer feedback expressing
how important it is to find answers to commonly-asked questions related to your specific product. Based on that, the content has been improved so it's easier to read and the search experience is enhanced so you can
find the answers you need quickly.
