Have you ever had this happen in Sage 100 (formerly Sage ERP MAS 90 or MAS 200)?

You create any number of graphical forms – only to find that over a period of time some of them never get used. In an effort to clean up your system you try to delete the form(s) via the standard Report Manager process. Upon navigating to the Report Manager you find that your form(s) for some reason (typically we see this with customers who’ve been using the software for quite some time) the form(s) you wish to delete are not present.

Wish there was a way to delete these wayward forms once and for all?

There is — and here’s the answer:

Version(s):

4.10+

Problem / Description:

How to remove graphical forms (checks, invoices, etc) which do not show in the Sage 100 ERP Report Manager and therefore cannot be removed via standard functionality

Resolution:

* References to the form code must be removed manually:

* Expand Modules, Library Master, and Utilities. Double-click Data File Display and Maintenance (DFDM).

* In the File Name field, select the …\MAS_SYSTEM\SY_ReportSetting.M4T file.

* Delete the key associated with the form code. Repeat this step for the following files:

* SY_ReportOption.M4T

* SY_LastFormUsed.M4T

* In Windows Explorer, browse to the …\MAS90\MAS_xxx\Reports\ folder.

* Delete the folder associated with the form code.
Note: Review the SY_Company file in DFDM and match the Company Key with the company name to determine the correct records to delete. As always, make a backup prior to making changes to files in DFDM.

Occasionally you may find yourself with Sage 100 ERP modules installed on your system which you no longer uses. We’ve been asked in the past by our customers if there is a way to remove those modules and stop paying maintenance?

The answer is yes. First you must contact your business partner – or Sage Client Care Representative. They will send you a form (Word Document or PDF ) which you complete and send back to Sage.

Once Sage approves the downgrade they will send you new unlocking keys. You’ll need to first remove the module(s) (as well as ALL historical data). Then you use the new unlocking keys to permanently remove the module.

How To Remove Modules

Make a full backup of Sage MAS 90 or 200.
In Windows Explorer, go to ..\Mas90\ and copy the data folders of the module to be removed (optional).
In Sage MAS 90 or 200, rename, move, or delete the data folder for the module from each company (for example, ..\Mas90\Mas_abc\Apabc).
Open Library Master / Setup / System Configuration.
Click the ‘Uninstall’ button.
Select the module to be deleted and click the ‘Delete’ button.
Click ‘Yes’ at the confirmation prompt.
