How do I determine what Sage Software I have?

I want to choose the correct option in this Sage Community, but under my System Information it says "6.0A (Sage ERP Accpac 100) (Build 0)".  If I choose Sage 100 and go to the Knowledge Base it lists lots of versions to pick from but no 6.0A Accpac, the only options are Sage 100 with different years.  My Help menu does not seem to be connected to the data.  When you click on any of the headings in the content or index list nothing appears. 

I appreciate any help.  Thank you

    Hello CCADANI, 

    Support for Version 6.0 Sage Accpac has been expired for almost 8 plus years.  

    If you don't have a Sage Partner, send me an email to [email protected] with your contact information and I will forward it to a member or the Account Management Renewals team.

    Regards,

  • FYI, your Sage 100 is not the current Sage 100, Sage messed with the version numbers too many times.  What you have is an ancient version of Sage 300.

  • Hi  as  and  have alluded to you're specifically running "Sage Accpac ERP 6.0 100 Edition (Standard), with no Product Update" which if converted to a modern name would be something like "Sage 300 2010, Standard Edition" - yes its approx. 14 years old. You definitely want to get upgraded.  Sage Accpac was renamed Sage 300 in 2012.  Do you have a question about the product?

    I've been looking at switching to Quickbooks or Xero from my "ancient" Sage Accpac Version 6.0.  But WOW those QB comments online are very scary and Xero seems to be to basic.  I only use AP, GL, Bank Reconciliation and Financial reporting from my Accpac Sage V6 (that costs me zero $). 

    My POS handles all my inventory procedures and all of my on site, ecommerce, financing and AR sales.  I export/import my daily business GL entries and vendor trade invoices from POS to Accpac.  My G/L setup has several profit centers, and I use auto allocations and roll up accounts, plus many custom financial statements.  In A/P my vendors use complex terms (6%N30,4%N45,N60), and I use auto generate payment batches. 

    I would like to have some additional features that allow me to pay my vendors directly from my bank trough the program, track and reconcile company credit card charges, and an improved (easier) financial reporting tool.  Lastly, allow me to save more than three years of data in the software!

    What Sage option would you recommend or is it overkill for what I need?  It doesn't seem you can buy it by the module any longer??  Thanks for any recommendations or advice.

    Hi  it sounds like your POS solution is the backbone of your business, so perhaps it would be best to start there and look for accounting solutions known to work well with it.  You can then see if those accounting solutions work well with the features you're after.  If you were to subscribe to Sage 300 2025 at the closest tier to what was previously 100 edition, I would expect you would get 7 or possibly unlimited years of financial history now but this will need to be confirmed with Sage in your region.  You will also get access to a free entry-level license for Sage Intelligence Reporting which may meet your needs for enhanced reporting out of the box without needing to spend extra.  The single free license comes with a range of pre-built Financial and Operation reports, including Inventory and Orders, and they can be customized to a degree.

    Ideally if you let us know your region someone here should be able to get in touch, or you could contact your local Sage office, to give you an idea of what it would cost to meet the requirements you've mentioned above.  Good luck!

    Hi CCADANI,

    Since you mentioned that you are actively looking for a solution to replace your current SAGE environment, and you are not happy with the solutions you have already checked and SAGE does not offer anything you like, I think it is OK to mention here that we also work with another ERP solution that just might fulfil your needs. It offers a small business licence for 5 users as well as integration with POS in the retail edition.
