💡Tips
Sage 50 – Show Alternative Row Colours on Lists
Did you know that you can add alternative row colours to the lists in each module of Sage 50 Accounts? This makes it easier to find records when you are working with a large list of records or transactions.
- On the Menu bar, click Tools, click Options, then click the Colours tab
- Under alternate row colour, ensure the Ignore Custom Colours check box is blank
- For the relevant module, click the colour picker
- Click the colour you want to use, or to define your own colour, click Define Custom Colours
- To confirm the selected colour, click Ok
Cim50 – Stock Code X Does not Exist
There are occasions when Cim200 believes that Demand Schedule or MRP are running; often, the cause is a power cut or the server running out of space during processing. You can clear these processes by going to Cim200 Planning > Utilities > System Set Up > Clear Planning Flags and clicking on the necessary options.
- For versions v2023 and above: You can simply use Fix Error, which opens a pre‑populated stock record for you to review, complete, and save
- For Versions earlier than v2023: You will need to manually create the stock item in Cim50. Once that’s done, the warning will clear automatically the next time CIMi runs overnight
💡Training
If your team has changed recently, this may be a good opportunity to consider training. Please note that training is not included within support contracts. While we will always try to assist where possible, there are limits to the guidance we can provide via the support desk. Where we identify a need for more in-depth knowledge, we may therefore recommend formal training.
Formal and refresher training is available for both Sage 50 and Cim50!
- New starters benefit greatly from short, focused sessions
- Bespoke training can be tailored to your process
💡Company Competition
It’s that time of year when we are invited to compete in the CIM Fantasy Six Nations. Sam, one of the consultants, is responsible for setting up the league, and he informs us every match week of the players available.
We have three entrants on the Support Desk, Roger, Debs, and Tom, and our aim is to try to beat Sam, who tends to win most years.
We will let you know who reigns supreme next month, but I think it’s safe to say that France looks like they will win the Six Nations this year.
