How’s The Accuracy Of The New MAS90 – MAS200 CT Payroll Tax Tables?

August 2, 2011 by Wayne Schulz

I have completed about half a dozen MAS90 payroll upgrades for clients with Connecticut employees.

So far I’ve received feedback that the computations need to be manually reviewed and in some cases adjusted (be sure to read the instruction sheet that I left because Sage indicates that with the update you may not longer simply add an additional amount to CT withholding but instead should force the ENTIRE computed CT withholding).

If you need this, here is a link to the tax table update as well as the important instructions on configuring CT tax withholding.

Please let me know how you are finding the computation of CT tax and if you’re encountering any issues.

Users of the Sage ERP MAS 90 and MAS 200 State eFiling and Reporting capabilities may note that on version 4.4 and product update 5 and 6 or version 4.3 and product update 22 and 23 that Texas Form C-3 line13 displays taxable wages instead of gross wages when using State eFiling and Reporting,

Sage has a fix for this which you can download here.

Credit Card Swiping Slated To Arrive for MAS90 and MAS200 with Sage Exchange

July 18, 2011 by Wayne Schulz

One of the most requested credit card processing enhancements has been the use of swipers for reading encoded data from from credit cards.

As you probably know the fee credit card processors charge for a card which has been swiped is less than one which has been manually keyed in. The reasoning behind this being that a swiped card has a higher level of security and thus less likelihood for fraud.

Credit card swiping integration is scheduled to arrive late 2012 with the use of Sage Exchange as the credit card processing solution. Sage Exchange is a cloud based integration which off-loads the processing of credit card transactions from software by linking in the authorization remotely.

In addition expect integrations between portable credit card swipers used on smartphones such as iPhone, Android or Blackberry.

Sage Exchange is the integration platform for credit card processing being used by all of Sage’s North America products. The product will completely replace PC Charge as well as the Sage credit card processing module. Instead all card data will be uploaded to Sage Exchange where it will be securely stored. Transactions will be processed between the MAS90 software and Sage Exhange – which removes the need to continually certify Sage upgrades as PCI compliant.

MAS90 Version 3.71 Tradeup Offer (Cash For Clunkers)

May 5, 2011 by Wayne Schulz

Still using MAS90 or MAS200 version 3.71?

Of course you know that Sage discontinued support for that version in September 2010. Version 3.71 also won’t play nice with Windows 7 (though you may be able to trick it into installing – we’ve no idea how long that trick will continue to work).

If being 7 versions behind the current level of MAS90 doesn’t keep you awake wondering what would happen if your system shut down and Sage refused to supply a program patch is not of concern to you – then please stop reading now. This offer will not be of interest.

However if you rely on your MAS90 or MAS200 3.71 ERP system and would be “stuck” if suddenly the software shut down due to an incompatibility with a new operating system or maybe a patch that Microsoft automatically pushes to a dozen or so workstations – then please read below.

Sage is offering up to 60% off an upgraded version of your MAS 90 or MAS 200 3.71 system.

The beauty of this upgrade – yes it’s true that you’ll have some items that need manual converting – all your data converts automatically.

The fine print: Technically most (the great majority) of your data will convert automatically. Forms and reports need some updating and for most users that’s a straightforward process.

Barring any data integrity issues (in our experience performing lots of these upgrades we find that most data converts just fine) version 4.4 of MAS 90 or MAS 200 will convert all of your data automatically. Every last historical (and important ) transaction detail.

There are lots of new features since you last upgraded MAS90 or MAS200. While I would like to say that paperless forms (emailing) or NACHA AP transfers are everyone’s favorites (and for many users they are) – in actuality every company finds a different favorite feature or two that seems to make the upgrade worthwhile.

At Schulz Consulting we provide you with:

– A fixed fee upgrade price – this covers installation, test, conversion and go-live.
– A 100% money back guarantee on the work we perform. If you’re not delighted with our services – then we don’t want you to pay. Or if you think the value of our service is less than we’ve quoted – pay what you feel the work has been worth to you (all the way to zero).

Error 46 Sy_Session.pvc or Error 11 Sy_Session.pvc “Record ‘ ‘ is missing

April 12, 2011 by Wayne Schulz

Sage have just issued a second hotfix for Sage ERP MAS 200. This one seems to address an issue found only in MAS200 where master developer enhancements were at one time (or possible still are) installed.

Because the issue seems particularly tricky to track down – I thought it might be good to post the report and link to the fix.

Error 46 SY_Session.pvc or Error 11 Sy_Session.pvc in MAS 200 v4.4

If being 7 versions behind the current level of MAS90 doesn’t keep you awake wondering what would happen if your system shut down and Sage refused to supply a program patch is not of concern to you – then please stop reading now. This offer will not be of interest.
