AccuPOS and MAS 90 – quick review

by

CashRegister.jpg

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.
