What’s New in Sage MAS90 and 200 4.5 Webinar – 2/1/12 12pm ET

February 1, 2012 by Wayne Schulz

Sage ERP MAS 90 and 200 4.5 is packed with compelling value, new features and functionality, and even more flexibility. The enhancements in this exciting release are inspired by you—our customers—mainly in Accounts Receivable, Payroll, Purchase Order, and Sales Order.

Customers upgrading to 4.5 will receive a FREE fully functional SageCRM 7.1 user and server license, and one Sage ERP MAS Intelligence Report Manager License. Intelligence now includes new Reporting Tree capabilities and enhanced report distribution. 4.5 is so flexible, you can choose to remain on your current system, or move to Sage ERP MAS 200 SQL*, running on a Microsoft SQL Server database.

Also incorporated in 4.5 are the 37 enhancements provided through downloadable Product Updates since Sage ERP MAS 90 and 200 4.4 shipped last year, in Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Bank Reconciliation, Inventory Management, Job Cost, Paperless Office, Payroll, Sales Order, as well as additional system-wide features and functionality.

Consultant and DSD partner David Selko of Baltimore just checked in to report an odd issue he encountered while upgrading Sage ERP MAS 90 from version 4.30 to 4.50 today:
I am out to upgrade a client to 4.5. Get all the conversion work done, get the forms done, log a couple people in, then a user comes to me and says she can’t get in.

Immediate error

object PvxDax.PvxDictionary could not be initialized.

I uninstall the client, repair the client, run the regcom.bat file, register the pvxdax.dll file. No luck. Had this on two workstations. I call support and they say, your computers are messed up,

The work was all done, all the clients for 4.3 were removed and 4.5 installed. I start running around to put them back to 4.3 and support called back and says that it is possible that you don’t have Visual C++ 2008 installed.

The MAS90 workstation setups installed fine without it and never mentioned anything about needing it.

These machines were both missing dotnet. Anyway, installing the visual C++ fixed the issue. I ALMOST had to abandon the upgrade because of the missing files.

So if you see a workstation setup warn you about dotnet, this may be your issue.

And here is the file I needed to install:

Upgrading MAS90 or MAS200 ? Here’s A LIst Of Every New Feature From 4.20 to 4.50

October 26, 2011 by Wayne Schulz

If you’ve been holding off on upgrading your Sage ERP MAS 90 or MAS 200 for a few versions you may feel like you’ve missed out on some features. And you’d be right. There has been plenty added to the product since the early 4.x releases.

Finding all the “new stuff” can be difficult because the information is spread across several different publications. I’ve simplified the process by bundling up all the data sheets from version 4.20 to 4.50 (including every 4.40 product update detailed feature list).

In addition I’ve added the latest Supported Platforms Matrix for Sage ERP MAS90, MAS200 and MAS200 SQL as well as the Integrated Applications that have been certified for the latest MAS version.

Review the information below – or if you prefer you can download the whole 10mb PDF from here.

Introducing Sage ERP MAS 90 and 200 4.5

October 25, 2011 by Wayne Schulz

I’m not quite sure if this is going to be the landing page when Sage sends out announcements about downloading MAS90 4.5 — or if this might be part of a separate email that is being sent to off-plan Sage ERP MAS90 and 200 users.

It’s odd because this page has a “Get Started Now – Call 877-336-4042” in the corner which leads to a generic auto-attendant (Sage sales desk) — rather than a “download now” link you might expect if it was being sent to customers on plan.

For whatever the purpose is — Sage did a really great job giving an overview of 4.5
