Sage 300 Classic Screens

The Sage 300 Help system has been updated so that it’s easier to find useful help topics and instructions. Search results are more relevant and include topic excerpts to help you find what you're looking for.

In addition, you can now use web search engines to find information in the help and even view topics on any internet-connected device, even if you don’t have Sage 300 open. Lastly, help topics are more readable, and the help system has a fresh, modern look and feel.

CRM Integration Improvements

Each new release seems to bring Sage 300 and Sage CRM even more closely together and version 2020 is no exception. Now when you create or change an order entry transaction that is linked to a CRM opportunity, a corresponding communication record is automatically created in Sage CRM. This works whether you create or change the transaction in Sage 300 or Sage CRM. In addition, a hyperlink has been added to Order Entry documents in CRM Communications which, upon clicking a document, opens an Order Entry Inquiry web screen.

Compatibility Note
