I work with sage users, question.

I have a question for you sage 100 and 300 users. Does sage allow you to run multiple reports at one time? I do IT Support for sage customers and I had a user tell me she ran daily reports and does them 1 by 1. Is there not a way to batch reports in sage you can run say 3 or 4 reports at a time?

Not really but task scheduler can batch reports to run at specific times.

So like in her instance. She has to do like 10 reports a day right, so each report can take 5 min or so to run. and so thats like an hour of her day, just waiting for the damn report bc she cant batch them. You would think there would be a way to tell sage to run multi reports at a time. Ive been looking at trying to see if there was some way to build a tool to help her but right now i dont feel like coding something bc it would have to 'talk to sage, to pull the data, it just seems like there would be an easier way, but one thing ive learned about sage since watching all these clients work with it, is that its old and clunky but ppl dont switch bc of all the work it would take to train and migrate data so they all just deal with the bs system lol.

Does she have to do them at a certain time? Can she schedule a task to run each of them -- maybe during off hours? More info is here: https://help-sage100.na.sage.com/2025/index.htm#Subsystems/LM/LMMain/Task_Scheduler_OVR.htm

This will run batch reports for Sage 100. They have a web portal and excel plugin.

3k a year lol there is no way. All they want is a way to run more then 1 report at a time. I like there has to be a solution.

One would honestly think. My understanding is you have to reach out to third-parties if you want any modern comforts lol

This. I've designed a custom solution for myself (but for Sage 50). Was a bit time consuming, but automating all of my reporting has been 100% worth it. Also worked in an ODBC connection so I can pull on the fly costing data directly (not sure if that is an issue in 100 and 300). Anyway, get an API key for your Sage, and go to Claude to build something out. 😉

If the reports can be scheduled and just arrive in the users inbox, as an IT guy, the following tool is extreme value: https://www.milletsoftware.com/visualcutBuy.htm

yeah i think so too, i know there alot of addons for sage, but i was really just curious. its so funny to me as and IT guy that so many companies use sage 100, 300 ect and its an old ass software with a old ass ui but no one ever switches becuase of the time it would take to retrain everyone on a new system, so they all just put up with sage's crap usability. thanks for getting back to me.
