Inquiries regarding delays in accounting software input
Inquiries regarding delays in accounting software input
I'm searching for a way to reduce input lag when creating invoices in Sage 50 Accounting. The database is on a networked computer, which only handles the job locally. Typing invoices causes noticeable delays, such as a line appearing like "Replaced #1 rear .axle brake shoe s, Remove d tires .t rouble getting wheel soff." I recently added more memory to reach 16 gigabytes, but it didn't improve things. I'm considering moving the database to an M.2 SSD or upgrading the processor. The host runs Windows 10 64-bit with an Intel I7-8750H and 16 gigabytes of RAM. Any suggestions would be appreciated, as I'm unsure if the problem lies with the computer, the network, or the host itself.
HDD versus NVMe isn't the main concern. The delay occurs well before data is stored on the disk. In Task Manager, check the system load—CPU usage and other metrics. Also, identify the network interface.
The network is connected using Cat5. I verified the CPU usage on the host machine and confirmed that there isn’t much activity until it’s saved. While working on the invoice screen in the software, my CPU usage stayed under 25%, and memory remained at 50%—it didn’t change even when not typing in the invoice window. Disk and network usage stayed at zero throughout. Clearly, the problem isn’t with the host computer or the network unless they’re being used until the invoice is processed or saved.
I figured it out,

- There is an option in sage 50 to Turn on or Off list buttons, So instead of the software trying to search matching descriptions while typing it does not, This removed the typing lag instantly, But now i wont beable to find parts.. Im going to see if there is a workaround to only turn off Description matching and keep item matching on
Thanks for you help! I'll update if I find a solution
It was consuming a lot of resources while performing a quick character-by-character search.
Is selecting this particular accounting program a mandatory aspect of our organization, or are we free to use our preferred tools?
