Steps to Resolve the issue of Delay with Sage 50 US Program Loading?

Here we are providing some simple methods to resolve the issue of Delay with Sage 50 US program loading –

Method 1: Have a Close Look at your Sage Data

No limit has been prescribed in Sage regarding the number of records or transactions you can keep. The capacity is limited only by the free disk space and memory available in your system. Other factors such as network speed and the number of concurrent users can also influence this.
For smooth functioning, Sage recommends the following- 

• Fewer than 50,000 invoices/orders
• Fewer than 1,000,000 splits or transactions
• Fewer than 2,000 project records
• Fewer than 20,000 product records
• Fewer than 2,000 supplier/customer records 
• You can check these by going to Help > About > Data Information

If you happen to have more than the above, you should have an archive of your data and then run a Clear Audit Trail on the data. This will clear the historic transactions and reduce the data volume considerably.
