Service Update 14 replaced with new version that restores Paperless Office features

October 6, 2009 by Wayne Schulz

Did you update and apply the MAS 90 or MAS 200 Service Update 14 released on 9/29/09? If you did, and you’re a Paperless Office user, then run and grab the latest service update.

Confusingly named with the same version (SU 14) but released on 10/2/09 this fix to the fix re-enables printing of paperless office forms.

Apparently the latest 10/2 fix corrects an issue (Resolution ID 514877 Details Here) where the original SU14 caused all forms in the business framework to print as blanks if they were sent to paperless.

AccuPOS and MAS 90 – quick review

September 22, 2009 by Wayne Schulz

Are you looking for a point of sale system for Sage MAS 90 or MAS 200? Here’s a quick review done by 90Minds member Bill Pfahnl based on an implementation of AccuPOS and MAS 90 that he was recently involved with.

The integration link is straightforward and works with VI to import a daily sales totals for each till and an invoice in S/O Invoice Data Entry – all automatic. The invoice summarizes total sales for each inventory item along with the total money collected as the deposit amount for clearing later (tender summary) so the invoice should always be net zero. A special POS customer is set up for these invoices. You can also sell to MAS 90 customers (with or without terms) and those sales will import as their own invoice.
Accupos is an award winning Point Of Sale, Inventory Management and Time Clock solutions worldwide for users of QuickBooks, Peachtree by Sage, Simply Accounting by Sage, Sage MAS 90 and 200, and Line 50 by Sage.

The software is a Sage Endorsed Solution which means it has been tested and verified by Sage and is marketed by them.

Follow the link below to read more of Bill’s initial first impressions and see how he liked AccuPOS and the integration to MAS 90.

What’s new in MAS 90 3.50 through 4.2?

September 8, 2009 by Wayne Schulz

One question that we’ve heard time and time again as MAS 90 upgrades are released is “what’s new?”.

Often this can be a difficult list to remember – especially if the person asking is several release levels back on the software. It’s easy to remember what has been added from version 4.1 to 4.2 — but how about from 3.50 to 4.2?

If you’re curious about all the enhancements that Sage has made to MAS 90 and MAS 200 since version 3.5 then you may wish to review this handy list on their site.

A detailed list of every change is available on a release by release basis. The chronology starts at version 3.5 and extends to 4.2. There is no login required – simply click away at the link below.

Sage MAS 90 Service Updates Now Quarterly

September 7, 2009 by Wayne Schulz

The last service update for Sage MAS 90 and MAS 200 version 4.3 was issued 6/29/09. According to several consultants who have contacted us – Sage has told them that service updates will be issued on a quarterly basis instead of monthly.

Service updates for Sage MAS 90 and MAS 200 are released for the most current version of the software only (currently 4.3) and contain a bundle of fixes which are self-installing and correct noted issues.

Users of older supported versions of MAS 90 (prior to the current level) will still need to load program fixes individually as the service update bundles will continue to only be released for the current levels.

Please consult with a competent Sage Business Partner prior to installing any service updates. These fixes contain program changes which could cause any enhancements (including Sage’s Extended Solutions) to stop working.

In general we recommend loading service updates for MAS 90 only if you (or your Sage Business Partner) are in the process of logging a support case with Sage or see that a program patch or service update fixes a specific issue that you are experiencing.

In all instances, we recommend you contact your Sage Business Partner for advise on when and how to load any service updates before trying to install them yourself.

MAS90 Purchases Clearing report doesn’t foot in v4.3

Just heard about this issue on Sage MAS 90 and MAS 200 and thought it may help someone in a similar situation.

MAS90 Purchases Clearing Won’t Foot

A client (version 4.3) reported to me that when the report did not tie to GL,
they manually added up the totals on the Purchases Clearing report. Their total
differs from the report total (and does balance to GL). I verified by exporting
the report to Excel and running a total. Sure enough, client is right.

Workaround

No KBA. Sage knows about it, but because it hasn’t verified by Engineering, it
is not available on the KnowledgeBase. Workaround is to run the Purchases
Clearing by Product Line report, which produces an accurate total.
