During the Sage 100 User Group Online on June 21, we reviewed hidden utilities.

This is a summary of those utilities and a word of caution: These utilities do not include an undo feature or a roll-back option. The only way to return to the prior state is to restore from back up. SY_MENU_UI In a world where we sometimes think This is good but it would be better if..., this utility allows authorized users to adjust Sage 100 menus. For example, any module's Reports menu could be changed from the default layout to an alphabetized list. To clean things up, the module name can be redacted from the report title. With this utility, the menus can be modified as your company sees what your company wants.

SVTRNA This utility can be used to transfer static information between two companies. With Sage 100 version 4.5, authorized users can transfer Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable or Inventory information. By copying Masterfile information without simultaneously copying transactions and history, lists can be shared between companies.

ARWAR4 The purpose of this utility is to clear invoices that may show as already being paid. Sometimes this occurs and seems to be related to the deletion of a batch of Cash Receipts. When an invoice is selected for payment, an amount is assigned to the invoice and populates the Payments Today field. The utility will remove the commitments from the invoices, enabling reselection of the invoices. To run this Utility, from the Launcher go to File, Run and enter the ARWAR4 program.

Click Ok.

Always use caution when accessing a utility. Warnings are there for a reason!

Click OK and you should be set to proceed with the Cash Receipt.
