Description

Why am I getting an 'Unable to Save Configuration' error when setting up Sage 50 for use with SageExchange.com?

Resolution

This error typically occurs when attempting to use plugins that were installed under a different Sage Exchange Desktop (SED) registration. It can be resolved by removing the plugins, re-registering with PCD Paya Connect Desktop.

• Close Sage 50, using File > Exit.
• Revoke the access token in SageExchange.com by finding the component and selecting 'Details' and then 'Revoke'.
• Remove the plugins from SED by right-clicking on the icon in the icon tray and choosing 'Settings'; expand 'Data Exchange', select 'My Plugins', and then choose 'Remove' for any relevant plugin.
• Close SED by right-clicking on the icon and choosing 'Exit'.
• Start the Windows Task Manager and end the 'sageexchange.exe' and 'sehost32.exe' processes, if they are present.
• In Windows Explorer, navigate to C:\Sage\Peachtree\Company\companyname\  -- if you installed Sage 50 elsewhere, adjust accordingly.
• Delete, move, or rename the APIACCSS.DAT file.
• In SageExchange.com, go to 'My Components' and select 'Add Component'. Copy the access token to your clipboard.
• Reopen SED. Right-click on the icon, select 'Settings', and expand 'Data Exchange'. Select Register, and paste your access token. Press Sign In to complete the registration.
• Go to 'Get Plugins' and reinstall the plugin/s.
• Reopen Sage 50. You should see a prompt that asks 'Could not find APIACCSS.DAT, Do you want to create a brand new, empty file?' and select 'Yes'.
• Close Sage 50, using File > Exit.
• In SED settings, select 'My Plugins' and select 'Enable'. You should receive an error that says 'There was a problem accessing your accounts'.
• Reopen Sage 50.
• You will see a 'Third Party Application Access' prompt within Sage 50. Choose 'Always Allow Access' and select 'OK'.
• You should now be able to select 'General Ledgers' and save your configuration.
