SageForum for UK versions of Sage 50- Help and support.

Hi

I am using Sage Line 50, Version 13.02.30.0144

In Sales order module, when I key in product code, details appear instantly, but in Purchase order module there is a delay of several seconds - very annoying on a multi-line order.

It wasn't always like this - is there any way to speed things up ...

I am running Sage Line 50 version 13.02.30.0144

Creating a purchase order from "Shortfall Generator" has become increasingly slow and is getting worse.

Hi,

I'm using Sage Line 50 Financial Controller, Version 13.02.17.0126

When I restart and check my datafiles there are no errors reported.

Today's event happened when I ...
