Vendor Setup in 13.1 based upon 9.8 settings

We recently upgraded to version 13.1 and have run into some challanges in Accounts Payables in regard to insurance requirements.  We would like to track insurance certificates by committment NOT by vendor.  In the prior version (9.8) I believe we had to go into the vendor setup and check, "Proof Required" under the insurance tab in order to get the insurance tracking on the committments to be enabled.  Now with the new subcontractor compliance, we are getting a warning for every vendor saying that the required insurance is missing for that vendor.  I'm looking for an easier way to fix this than going into each vendor setup record and unchecking the box that says "Proof Required" on the insurance tab.  Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you

    Hi Shane,

    Thanks for reaching out and posting in Sage City. I am glad to see more questions coming up regarding the Subcontractor Compliance Management. It's probably the biggest change in moving from a 9.x version to 12.1 and above. Those warning messages can be controlled through Compliance Warning Settings in your AP Settings. The Help Topics in Accounts Payable are a great resource for this as well.

    Thank you,

    Jordan

    Jordan,

    I reviewed those Help topics and the problem that I am faced with is that if I turn off the warning, it appears to turn off the warning for the requirement whether using vendor or commitment insurance requirements.  The only current solutions seems to be going into each vendor setup and unchecking the require insurance box and then turning the notifications back on so they will show for commitments.  My frustration is that I believe in previous versions we had to turn on this requirement at the vendor setup level to even begin to get the insurance requirements for commitments to work.  I am hoping for a better work around as we have way to many vendors to be going in and unchecking the box on each one.

    Shane, you can create a live link from your SAGE 300 data to Microsoft Access.  Query the data you want to change in Access and change it in Access. And because it is a live link you have just changed your SAGE 300 data without opening each vendor.  We did this and it worked fawlessly. When a new Vendor is setup I have a My Assistant task send me a notice so that I can be assured that all new Vendors have the required by commitment check box checked.
