Sage issued Service Update 17 for MAS 90 and MAS 200 on Christmas Eve. This new update for version 4.3 includes fixes for the 1099 Electronic Reporting module required by IRS Publication 1220.
Service Updates are cumulative fixes which do not rely upon prior updates being installed. Be sure that you consider any existing enhancements that are installed on your system PRIOR to installing these updates (Review our list of MAS90 Extended Solutions that need to be upgraded when you load Service Update 17). In certain instances installing a service update may “break” custom programming so please use caution when installing over any enhancements and always check with your Sage Business Partner prior to installing updates such as this.
Users of earlier versions of Sage MAS 90 or MAS 200 will need to download the Interim Release Disk (IRD) in order to resolve any last minute payroll issues as there has not been an updated service update for any release earlier than 4.3.
