Have you ever used X3’s personalization and used the option on a field to hide it from mobile, only to be left wondering exactly what your page might now look like on a mobile device?  Today we’ll look at a tool built for just such a situation, Google Chrome’s built-in mobile emulator.

First, let’s go to Sales, Orders, Orders and select the ALL Full Entry transaction to see what our starting point looks…

Before we delve into Batches and cash receipts...Have you ever had an ear worm? For those of you that don’t know what an ear worm is, it’s a 20 second or so loop of a song that keeps running in your head. It can last from an hour to even months in extreme cases, When I first thought of this blog topic, it ran in my mind as “batches, cash receipts” to the tune of Cher’s song “Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves.” Hopefully, finishing…

I have discussed in one of my Sage City blogs how to dispose a single asset,  https://www.sagecity.com/support_communities/sage_erp_x3/b/sageerp_x3_product_support_blog/posts/how-to-dispose-an-asset and in this blog, let us look at the function “Asset disposal” (FASISSM) in Fixed assets, Processes, Movements to dispose a group of assets.

• This function is used to generate or cancel the disposal of an asset group…

Afternoon readers. Today’s topic will be (hopefully) shorter than the last one I did.  This post is going to be on STOWIPW and how to stop it. The STOWIPW is the automatic qty resync for STOCK module that is ran automatically by the system in the back end (like you don’t see it being ran). There is a way to turn it off so you can schedule it at a different time. Why would you want to do this? Well I can think of…

Hello readers, today we are going to be looking at an older topic. It may be older but it’s still relevant to current versions. We are going to explore the idea behind changing workflow email attachment names. Specifically, about how to change the naming convention of the actual attached files. This could be any of the following: txt, pdf, doc, docx, csv, xlx, and xlsx. Pretty much any selection from the destination function…

Stock transaction inquiry (Stock, Inquiries, Movements) is used to view the history of stock movements performed on a specific product with a specific site. When launching this inquiry, the Site and Product fields are mandatory and must be filled in. Entering a lot in the Lot field is optional and normally the movement inquiry displays stock receipts and issues. However, other movements can be viewed by clicking the

Today, we are going to explore the exciting world of general parameters and the NULAMTIFA (Interface the null amounts) parameter specifically.

Are you into decluttering? Decluttering has been popular recently. Personally, I don’t want to give up my tchotchkes. I like my dinosaurs and Mr. Potato Heads and my cat figurines and…

Anyway, are you interested in preventing some of the clutter from hitting your general…

2. Expense capitalization from the Asset management (GESFAS) or in Capitalization of expenses (LOFGRPFAS) by grouping the expenses in Fixed assets, Processes, Movements.
3. By importing a single or a set of assets by using an import template.

In this article we will look at an import process:

Have you wanted to be able to run a SQL Server profiler trace and initiate it directly from X3? In this blog we will look at where the option is to let us do this. We will look at the options available to include in the trace as well as where to go to review the output of the trace file.  

In this example, we will look at how to setup a SQL Server trace from the Sales Order entry screen. But the setup SQL Server trace is…

In this blog I will be answering a question one of my readers wrote in the comments of the GENSHT and SHTDLV blog post from last month. It is a great question! He writes, “If I understand correctly, when the item is received, shortages are subtracted from stock on hand right away for deliveries. What would be the impact of this on MRP/MPS? I am assuming that the MRP engine would count the shortage as a “customer generated…

Replace component “REMPLCOMP” found in Common data, BOMs, Replacement, Components is used to replace a component in one or a range of bill of materials with a different component. In previous versions such as version 11 and V12 with lower patches, it was not possible to replace version managed components with version managed BOMs. Starting in V12 patch 21, an enhancement was done to the Replace component function…

In Sage X3 fixed assets module, standard depreciation methods are located under Setup, Fixed assets, Depreciation methods. Standard depreciation methods can be used to calculate the fixed asset depreciation based on your country, legislation and or accounting practice. Occasionally we will have some scenarios where the standard depreciation method might not work and thanks for the availability of the free depreciation…

Evening folks. Tonight, I have a super quick topic to show. It has to do with log files, and it has to do with viewing them. It also has to do with looking at them in Sage X3. Give up?...

It’s an age-old issue that has plagued X3 for decades, the issue where you cannot read log files from log reading function. Yeah I know, that is the actual name of the function “log Reading”. It’s an issue that dates back to when log…

Have you ever gotten carried away and opened more fiscal periods than you intended? Does it leave you with a feeling of dread that people will accidently enter transactions into future months and you will be left with the resulting cleanup task. To stop data entry into past periods, you can just close the period. Closing doesn’t work for future fiscal periods because they have to be closed sequentially from oldest to…

Have you ever noticed behavior in X3 that you couldn’t quite explain, and wanted a tool that could help you investigate what’s going on?  There are several third-party tools that you can use for various types of network or web app troubleshooting.  Today we are going to examine one that I like to use from time to time, Fiddler.

What exactly is Fiddler?  The Fiddler tool helps you debug web applications by capturing…

Sometimes you may find yourself troubleshooting a situation that doesn’t occur in all your folders.  This could leave you scratching your head, wondering what is different between these folders that is potentially creating a problem?  Which leads to a bigger question, how can I go about tracking down any differences?  Of course, you could hunt and peck and manually compare different areas of the folders—but that would…

After reading the blog Saving time with Multi-company period opening (TRTPERMC), you may be thinking “It’s great that we can open periods for multiple companies / ledgers at the same time, but what about closing? It would be nice to have something like that for closing periods too.”  Good news: there is a new function on the closing side: Multi-company period closing (FUNPMCCL). This function debuted…

Mono Mode!

We are going to look at what Mono Mode is, and no, not mono as in audio output on your Radio or for Sage X3. Mono mode, AKA Single User Mode, is a function that allows the Administrator (or a user of the Administrator…

Have you ever noticed that SQL Server loves to use memory, even when there is not much activity happening on the server?  Is there a way to manage the amount of memory utilized by SQL Server? Yes, you can limit the amount of memory SQL Server can use. In this blog, we will examine where to set the limitation and explain how it would be done.  You will need to access SQL Server Management Studio(SSMS). 

Go to your SSMS, log…

In this blog, I would like to show you where to look to determine if your X3 database files are stored on one or more drives.   Why would this be important? The reason I bring this up is related to performance optimization.  Setting up your X3 database files across different physical drives helps optimize database performance. Having all your database files stored on the same drive is rarely optimal. Where can you check…
