The following is a list of corrections and selected enhancements added to Sage 100 2018.4
For a full list of Enhancements, refer to the What's New page inside the Product.

Product updates are cumulative; in other words, this update includes all enhancements and program corrections found in prior updates for version 2018. Smart Update will install only the programs that have been updated since your last update was installed.

Workstation Synchronization has been enhanced to update Sage 100 Standard Workstations along with Sage 100 Advanced and Premium Workstations. Sage 100 Standard Users are no longer required to run WksUpdate Standard.exe on each Sage 100 Standard Workstation. 

All Sage 100 updates must be installed on the server where Sage 100 is installed.

For eBusiness Manager users upgrading for the first time to Product Update 3 or higher, you will need to perform the following one time:
  1. From the Sage 100 Server, copy the following files located in the ..\MAS90\Home folder:
    1. pvxclr4.dll
    2. Sage.Exchange.dll
    3. wsVault.dll
  2. Copy the 3 files above to the server where the Sage 100 Web Engine is installed. The default location for the Sage 100 Web Engine installation is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Sage\Sage 100 20XX WebEngine\WEBENG\Home\", but this is configurable.
  3. Restart the Web Engine and run as an application. Running the Web Engine as a Service is not recommended at this time. See Knowledge Base entries 82537 and 82539 for more information. Make a copy of any existing files before replacing.

Accounts Receivable

  1. Memos are no longer displayed in Customer Inquiry & Customer Maintenance when Memo Options is set to Hide and Auto Display is not checked in AR Memo Manager Maintenance for Customer Memo Type.
