Important Information

Minimum supported version of Microsoft SQL Server

The minimum supported versions of Microsoft SQL Server for Sybiz Vision 25 is 2017 (the same as the previous two versions). These compatibility levels are enforced with a message displaying on upgrade to version 23.00+ if the user’s minimum requirements fall outside of this scope prior to the database being upgraded.

We recommend that anyone upgrading their Microsoft SQL Server upgrades to the latest version available at the time, rather than to the minimum supported version, for not only greater longevity but also better performance capabilities.

Web API requires upgrading

Web API requires upgrading to the latest version (3.00) when upgrading Sybiz Vision 24.99 due to new security restrictions in place and other technology updates.

Operating system compatibility

Certain older operating systems (Microsoft Windows XP, some versions of Microsoft Windows Vista and Microsoft Server 2003), Microsoft SQL Server (2008, 2008R2, 2012, 2016), and Microsoft Windows Server 2012 are not compatible with Sybiz 24.99 — if uncertain consult your Authorised Business Partner prior to upgrading. Microsoft Windows 11 is supported for Sybiz 24.99 with compatibility extending to some other later versions of Sybiz solutions.

New Features

Open items from dashboard

The standard dashboards now support opening the enquiry screen or transaction from the relevant grids. Custom dashboards can also be extended to support this additional behaviour. (CR2404-3558)

Archived customer statements can be removed from the system by using Cleanse Statements in the Debtors module. (CR2308-2478)

Easier setup for posting systems

The posting system has been made easier to set up consistently with the requirement to pick a posting system per database, either periodic or accrual. The option selected will change the options presented and which accounts are mandatory when setting up product group, product location, job group, job cost centre, job stages and service group posting accounts. (CR2404-3486)

More control over suggested purchase orders

A temporary adjustment to the days to deliver in suggested purchase orders can now be made. (CR2404-3487)
