For years my users have been clamoring for a way to tell their separate MAS 90 companies apart. Usually what they’d ask for is a different shade of background color so if they logged into the system without paying attention they’d HAVE to notice they were working in a different company.

Be careful what you wish for.

Sage have just rolled out their MAS90 Product Update 5 which includes enhancements to update the Form 941 to the latest format as well as bundling in an enhancement that’s been available for a while but only at a separate charge.

Formerly known as LM-1028 Company-Specific Background Colors – this enhancement is now bundled into MAS (as of PU5) and allows you to choose whether you want a company to have a unique background color. According to Sage color editing is helpful for telling different companies apart at a glance. One of the default colors is a glowing shade of green more suited to fans of the Broadway Musical Wicked where the lead character in the story is known for being born a glowing shade of green (see also How to win tickets to the NYC Broadway Wicked show).
