Sage 100 ERP 941 Form Alignment Fix

by

Sage have just issued a program patch for versions 4.3+ of Sage 100 ERP which corrects an issue some users have encountered trying to print the 2013 IRS form 941.

It appears the original issue relates to the report itself which would resize the fonts incorrectly when the workstation display settings were NOT set to 100% (default).

The two report files which are updated:

PR941A.RPT
PRSCHB.RPT

Depending upon the version of Sage 100 ERP (formerly Sage ERP MAS 90 and MAS 200) you can download the fix from:
