Schulz Consulting offers free service update assistance to their support clients through 4/30/09

A Message To Our Unlimited MAS 90 and MAS 200 Phone Support Clients:

4/2/09

As you know our support plans don’t include the labor (whether on-site or remote) to install upgrades, service updates, workstation setups or tax table updates.

However ..

In light of the number of payroll changes that have come out recently (new tax tables and 941 form updates) for 2009 — I want to be sure that our loyal Schulz Consulting support subscribers have their payroll updated to the latest rates and software changes.

I’ve decided that during the next few weeks (actually until the end of April) — Schulz Consulting will install the tables remotely at no cost for anyone on our phone support plans..

New MAS90 Payroll Changes We Will Update Remotely For Our Support Clients

1. New 941 forms for 2009 that were just release which slightly modify the 941 form with additional fields

2. New payroll tax tables that were release 3/27/09 – and while these tables seems to primarily impact non-resident aliens it seems like a good idea to update them in light of the rapid law changes.

If you want to set a time to do this (remotely) – simply email Wayne Schulz and we will call you to arrange for a time.

If you would rather – you can use the link below to call Wayne directly.

P.S – This is not a new policy (in other words we still charge for consulting work that is outside the scope of our normal support plan), however from time to time we like to include an extra benefit to show our appreciation for the loyalty of our clients. This is one of those times. Thanks for being a Schulz Consulting support customer!

MAS90 & MAS200 Promotions for Spring 2009 Full Detail

April 2, 2009 by Wayne Schulz

Hot off the presses are the following pricing promotions in effect through 6/30/2009. These MAS 90 and MAS 200 specials apply only against product (no discounts are taken off maintenance) and may generally not be combined with other offers.

When looking at any accounting software don’t be fooled into thinking that initial purchase price should be your main consideration. You should be thinking about whether the software will meet your need, if the consultant has adequately assessed your need, and if all the add-ons they’re recommending have been thoroughly researched.

We see an increasing number of companies buying software because of some fancy quarter end sale/promotion or price cut.

That’s fine if you know exactly what your doing. But many times neither the customer or the consultant know (and shouldn’t at least the consultant have an idea?)…
Do your research and talk to users of the software you are considering purchasing. If you’re unable to find people to speak with — that’s your cue to reconsider what you are buying.

MAS 90 Tax Tables Updates for Q2 2009 Changes (3/27/09)

April 2, 2009 by Wayne Schulz

I’ve just noticed that the tax tables for MAS 90 and MAS 200 have been updated and given a new date of 3/27/09. These tax table downloads are cumulative — so if you’re unsure whether you have applied the tables previously then you can download this latest update and receive all prior changes.

By all appearances the only changes were to non-resident alien tax tables. The most recent prior update was dated 2/27/09 and that update contained the latest federal withholding tables as mandated by the IRS.

Modify Sage 100 and Sage100cloud menus with this cool hidden utility

March 23, 2009 by Wayne Schulz

Changing a Sage 100 menu used to be – well – impossible.
At least that’s what I thought until half an hour ago when super consultant Dawn Anastasi of CG Consulting threw this little tip out.

To change your menus (hide, re-order, rename) in Sage MAS 90 or MAS 200 version 4.x+ use the hidden SY_MENU_UI utility.

This works for any menu – including those pesky Custom Report menus that have a nasty tendency of dropping your reports in a random order.

Changing (move, rename, delete) Menu Selections in Sage 100cloud

The steps to change your MAS 90 or MAS 200 menu are so simple — once you know Dawn’s secret.

It relies upon being able to access the File – Run menu from within MAS (if you’re not able to do this you probably need to verify security rights and make sure you have access to this menu choice).

First start up MAS 90 or MAS 200. Select the File menu and then the Run option.

From the dialog box that appears, type in SY_MENU_UI and click OK.

You’ll be presented with the following dialog box.

From this dialog box you can drag a menu choice from one location to another:

Once you’ve found the spot where you want to the new item to reside – simply drop.

Rename MAS 90 Menu Items

If you double click on a menu selection you’ll have the ability to rename the item as illustrated below.

Reminders:

This tip works on version 4.x

You must have security rights to the File – Run menu in order to have been allowed access to the utility (this is set up in Library Master – Main – Role Maintenance).
