Sage Software is now issuing Product Updates on a regular basis for their latest MAS90 and MAS200 version 4.4 accounting software.
While in the past these were called service updates and primarily included bug fixes and patches – the new Product Updates will also include new functionality.
Product Update 1 for Sage MAS 90 & MAS 200 has just been released March 29, 2010 and here’s the complete listing of what’s new.
Sometime yesterday Sage removed their MAS 90 & MAS 200 Product Update 1 service release. They’ve also removed the version 4.3 service update 18 (SU 17 remains available).
Update 4-3-2010: The product update is back – please review the update page for further information on any late breaking news.
Product Update 1 has been temporarily removed until a critical issue is resolved. If you have already downloaded this program update, please review Knowledgebase Article 522847 before proceeding.
There appear to be two issues related to this product update.
The first, is a concern with rounding within the Bill of Materials module. Print Picking Sheets rounds the quantity per bill for non-integer Unit of Measure items to the next whole integer causing additional raw materials to be issued against the bill. Work Orders created using a Bill of Materials rounds the quantity per bill on non-integer Unit of Measure component items to the next whole integer – potentially causing additional raw materials to be allocated against the work order will ultimately result in overstated costs on produced items.
The second, as described in Resolution 522847 applies to users who own the accounts receivable module but not the sales order module. The file SO SalesOrderHistoryHeader cannot be opened” occurs when performing period end processing for Accounts Receivable if Sales Order is not activated for the company. This issue occurs after installing Program Update 1 for Sage MAS 90 and 200 4.40 or Program Update 18 for Sage MAS 90 and 200 4.30.
If you’ve downloaded either product update 1 for Sage MAS 90 or 200 – or – service update 18 for MAS 90 or MAS 200 v4.3 then please don’t use them and wait for an updated patch file which should be re-issued shortly.
