When Should You Load The MAS90 2011 Tax Table Update?

January 6, 2011 by Wayne Schulz

mas90 tax table update 2011.jpg

Several people have asked when they should load the 2011 tax table update for MAS 90 and MAS 200 payroll.

As you may know one of the hidden gotcha’s of printing W2 forms via MAS 90 and MAS 200 payroll is the system uses the current FICA/MEDICARE maximum limits for determining how much goes into each FICA/MEDICARE box. For employees over the maximum limit at which tax is assessed MAS 90 simply supplies the current maximum rate from the FED tax table.

Update 1-11-2011: New Sage ERP MAS 90 and 200 2011 Tax Tables

At first glance since there is no limit change for the FICA/MEDICARE this year many users determined that it didn’t matter when they loaded the tables (ie – Before or after preparing quarterlies and W2 forms).

Turns out according to Jim Woodhead over at DSD Business Systems that if you load the tax tables early your 941 form will show an incorrect overpaid status due to the 941 form using the NEW rate for employee FICA (4.2% for 2011). the solution is to manually change the FICA rate back to 6.2% while printing your 941 forms.

PS – Don’t forget to change it back to 4.2% when you’re done printing.

What’s New In The Latest MAS90 – MAS200 Upgrade or Product Update?

October 18, 2010 by Wayne Schulz

One of the frequent questions that users of MAS90 and MAS200 will have prior to upgrading is “what’s changed?”. It’s a pretty common — and smart — question that you’ll want the answer to prior to installing either a major upgrade (moving up a point or full version) or a product update.

Major upgrades are considered to be any that move you up a version of the software. For example moving from MAS90 3.71 to 4.40 would be a major upgrade since during the move you also have pretty significant changes to General Ledger, Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, Sales Order, Inventory, RMA, Purchase Order and Bank Reconciliation.

Once you reach level 4.40 then the upgrades will start to be intermingled with what Sage terms Product Updates.

In theory these Product Updates are user installable collections of both product fixes and new features. Presently Sage have released three product updates for MAS90 4.4 (Product Update or PU 1,2,3).

Curious about what’s been added in each version of these upgrades or updates? Sage embeds a web link within the latest version of MAS90 4.4. However if you’ve not yet installed the upgrade then you may have some trouble locating the link to answer your “what’s new” questions.

Therefor you can use the link below to navigate directly to the web page chronicling every enhancement added to MAS 90 from version 3.50 to 4.40 Product Update 3.
