Perhaps you hired a new salesperson and you need to assign several customers to them, or a new territory opens up and you need to re-align more than one customer to that territory.   [![The Return of Sage X3 Tips, Tricks & Tactics to Make Your Life Easier](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/418036/ff0cb281-384e-46a0-a2b9-27a708d1ed5e.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/418036/ff0cb281-384e-46a0-a2b9-27a708d1ed5e) These are scenarios where a “mass update” utility can really help. Think of a mass update as a graphical interface to run a SQL query that will update the database based on WHERE clauses. So, for example, you can retrieve all customers WHERE the STATE = FL, GA, AL, MS, and NC and change the TERRITORY field for all these customers to “Southeast U.S.”   The above is just an example; the possibilities are endless. The beauty of a mass update utility is that a user doesn’t have to be “technical” or know SQL. The idea is that you’re simply using the formula wizard to build your conditions. ### [Request a](“http://interact.southeastcomputers.com/sage-x3-demo“) [Sage X3 Demo »](https://blog.southeastcomputers.com/how-to-perform-mass-updates-in-sage-x3/“http://interact.southeastcomputers.com/sage-x3-demo”)   This utility is a real time saver because the alternative would be to either make the change manually, record by record, or to require a technical person to go into SQL management studio to perform this task. These people are usually very busy or very expensive – usually both.   With this utility, you can run the query directly from within [Sage X3](https://www.southeastcomputers.com/sage-x3) using their formula wizard, which is available in all versions of Sage Enterprise Management.   **Here’s how to perform mass updates in Sage X3.** ## Mass Update Definition ***Development > Processing dictionary > Update transactions***   The goal is to replace a sales rep with another one for all customers.   ![mass update in Sage Enterprise Management (Sage X3)](https://blog.southeastcomputers.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Images/screenshots/update%20transactions.jpg?width=518&name=update%20transactions.jpg "mass update in Sage Enterprise Management (Sage X3)") ## Mass Update Usage To execute the mass update, go to *Development > Utilities > Miscellaneous > Database Mass Update*, or call function AMIEXE directly.
