## Sage 300 2023 is Now Available

Here’s a look at some of the top new features that span security, web screens, CRM integration, and more.

 

## **Enhanced Password Security**

In Sage 300 2023, user passwords are even more secure. You now have the option to require complex passwords that must include a lower-case letter, upper case letter, number, and a special character. Plus, additional technical upgrades and enhancements improve overall security.

**Note:** for customers using **Sage Fixed Assets** integrated with Sage 300, you must first update your system in order to require complex passwords as explained in [Knowledgebase Article 115839](https://support.na.sage.com/selfservice/viewdocument.do?externalId=115839). 

## **Improved Sage CRM Integration**

When updating contact information on the Sage 300 A/R Customers screen, a new ‘**Update CRM Data**’ popup screen allows you to specify whether you want to update an existing person, replace an existing person, or create a new person in Sage CRM. Another change in the A/R Customers screen is that it now uses the **current date** by default instead of the Sage 300 Session Date.

## **New Web Screens**

Sage 300 2023 introduces new web screens for **Project and Job Costing** including:

- **Account Sets:** create groups of G/L accounts, which you assign to contracts to identify the G/L ledger accounts to which you post Project and Job Costing transactions for each contract.

- **Charges:** record amounts that you charge your customers for services or fees for which you have not incurred any costs directly.

- **Update Retainage:** enter opening retainage balances for contracts you are transferring to Sage 300 Project and Job Costing from another job-costing system.

In addition, new **keyboard shortcuts** are available to open web screens from the navigation menu.

## **New App Icons and Menu Organization**

Improvements have been made to the organization of **Sage 300 App Icons** in the Windows Start Menu so you can find things more easily. Instead of a single Sage 300 menu option, there are now 3 options divided into the core Sage 300 functions, Admin Utilities, and Support Utilities.
