S100C Updates

S100C Version 25.2.162+

Beginning with version 25.2.162 (there’s another update after that, and we’re expecting the Tax Table upgrades soon), there are new features, but there are some unexpected issues, too.

A reminder that version 25.2.x requires Server 2016 Operating System or newer (cannot install on a server running 2012 R2). And it is NOT compatible with SQL 2022; you have to stay on 2019 for SQL Express.

That’s the tech info, now here’s the rest. One of the new features is custom Pay Types. I’m sure Sage has added these because of the user requests they’ve received, but we’ve recommended using the Absence field for special tracking such as Bereavement time, and similar. There are reports for this tracking, too.
The Custom Pay types they added are creating some unexpected issues with Liberty Reports and with some Power BI reports. It has to do with the way they handled the new tables (‘0’ versus ‘null’ choices), but in the end, it’s causing issues.

If you use Liberty Reports, you might want to hold off on the latest upgrades until Sage or Liberty Reports comes up with a resolution. You’ll have a little ‘wiggle’ room when rolling out the 2024 Federal tax tables, at least a few weeks. We’ll keep you posted if we learn anything new on this one. –CMW
