Sage Software have just released their latest service update for both Sage MAS 90 and MAS 200. This is update 4 for version 4.3 and it’s a self-installable program file that you download from their web site.
In general I recommend downloading and installing these service updates only if they fix an issue you are experiencing (see below for a list of only the new items added to service update 4) or if you are about to log a support case with Sage Software.
Bank Reconciliation

During conversion from 4.00 or 4.05, Bank Reconciliation is now converted correctly.

DE 83730 PER 103086 Resolution ID 494699
e-Business Manager
New in Service Update 4.30.0.4
In order for this change to take effect, the user submitting the orders needs to be a member of a role with the Module Option “Allow to Exceed Quantity on Hand” for the Sales Orders module unselected. In the case of e-Business Manager with auto-acceptance of sales orders, the user submitting the order is the hidden user “_ExternalEBM”. To set this user with the required Module Option, create a new role in Role Maintenance with all rights for Tasks, Security Events, and Module Options with the exception of “Allow to Exceed Quantity on Hand” for the Sales Order module and assign this role to the _ExternalEBM user. To see this user in User Maintenance, type _ExternalEBM as the User Logon and press enter (this user won’t show in the lookup or by using the browse buttons). Remove the Default role for this user and add the new e-Business Manager specific role created earlier. This role can be set for the specific
e-Business Manager Company or for All Companies. The _ExternalEBM user is a System user, thus, changes to other user settings are not allowed.
