Sage 100: Customizing Window Utilities for Sage 100


Sage 100 Customizer Utilities is used to update customized forms (Windows), usually after an upgrade or when copying customized windows from another installation. Both tasks are often performed, especially when issues occur with a customization or utility.

To start, expand Sage 100 Custom Office, and from there the Main selection. This will bring you to a new page where you will double-click Customizer Utilities. Once here, select the appropriate task being either:

    • Rebuild Customizer Log
    • Update Customized Forms to Current Level

Rebuild Customizer Log

The Customizer Log file ought to be rebuilt after any .lib file is copied from the another installation's ..\xx\Custom folder (xx = Application Code). This procedure writes the customizations to the Customizer Log File so that it can be used in the current installation.

The rebuild process accomplishes the following:

  1. The Customizer Log file (SY0CM01.SOA) is reinitialized.
  2. Each application folder is checked for a \Custom folder (for example: \Mas90\Ap\Custom).
  3. Each subfolder within the \Custom folder is checked.
  4. An entry is made in the Customizer Log file for each .LIB file found in the custom folders.

Sage 100 Upgrade


Update Customized Forms to Current Level

This option changes the original forms up to the current level of functionality. Run this utility whenever Sage MAS 90, 100, or 200 is upgraded to avoid conflicts with any changes in the new version.

The update performs the following: a new library file is created based on the current .lib file in the custom folder (for example: \Mas90\Ap\Custom\###-###\Apwdaa.lib). Second, the properties of each customized object on the form are updated to the new library. And finally, as each library is completed, the old customized library is removed and replaced by the new .lib file.

In conclusion, there are many benefits to customizing your utilities. For instance, they allow for greater versatility and efficiency. Run these two functions whenever there is a conflict with versions of utilities, or customizations.
