Financial Reporting Replacement for Sage 100 ERP FRX Users : Renovo FYI Web Demo – August 7, 2013

July 30, 2013 by Wayne Schulz

renovofyi sage reporting

Looking for a replacement for your Sage 100 ERP FRX Financial Report Writer? We think you have two great options.

The first option that we’ll look at on August 7, 2013 is a solution from Renovo FYI which is best suited for users who are happy with the reporting that they receive from FRX and have little desire to expand that reporting (for example – to other non-financial files such as customers, vendors, inventory).

Renovo FYI offers an interface which is very similar to FRX and the company even offers direct data conversion of most FRX files for a low fee (a BIG plus for companies with lots of layouts that they don’t wish to re-create).

Renovofyi offers the following benefits:

  • 100% Web Base – Access from any location, at time, with a browser!
  • FRx Conversion – All of your FRx reports can be converted. Imagine trying to rewrite them!
  • Component Based – Create Rows, Columns, Organizations – mix and match
  • Integrates with any GL – You can quickly and easily create consolidated financial statements, even when you are using different general ledgers
  • Automatic Packaging & Distribution – Reports can be grouped together, automatically run at the same time and distributed to the person who needs it. No need to select each report for the month end reports
  • Drilldown – Quickly drill-down to transaction details from any level of your financial statement!

Join us August 7, 2013 at 9am PT /  10am MDT / 12pm ET  for a one hour demonstration of the Renovo FYI  reporting tool – Register Now

How to report Employer-Sponsored Health Care coverage on the W-2

December 22, 2011 by Wayne Schulz

The Internal Revenue Service issued interim guidance to employers on informational reporting on each employee’s annual Form W-2 of the cost of the health insurance coverage they sponsor for employees.

The IRS emphasized that this new reporting to employees is for their information only, to inform them of the cost of their health coverage, and does not cause excludable employer-provided health coverage to become taxable; employer-provided health coverage continues to be excludable from an employee’s income, and is not taxable.

The Affordable Care Act provides that employers are required to report the cost of employer-provided health care coverage on the Form W-2. Notice 2010-69, issued last fall, made this requirement optional for all employers for the 2011 Forms W-2 (generally furnished to employees in January 2012).

The IRS provided further relief for smaller employers (those filing fewer than 250 W-2 forms) by making this requirement optional for them at least for 2012 (i.e., for 2012 Forms W-2 that generally would be furnished to employees in January 2013) and continuing this optional treatment for smaller employers until further guidance is issued.

Using a question-and-answer format, Notice 2011-28 also provides guidance for employers that are subject to this requirement for the 2012 Forms W-2 and those that choose to voluntarily comply with it for either 2011 or 2012. The notice includes information on how to report, what coverage to include and how to determine the cost of the coverage.

The 2011 Form W-2, prior IRS Notice 2010-69 deferring the reporting requirement for 2011, and Notice 2011-28 containing the new guidance are available on IRS.gov.

Instructions on how to implement the Employer-Sponsored Health Care reporting on the W-2 form within Sage ERP MAS 90 and 200 payroll is available here (requires Sage login first to  http://na.sage.com/log-on).

Sage MAS Intelligence (SMI) Free Web Demonstration Schedule

August 22, 2011 by Wayne Schulz

smi sponsors.jpg

As you know the FRX Financial Reporting tool included with Sage ERP MAS 90 and 200 General Ledger is no longer supported by the software publisher (Microsoft).

Sage have issued prior notices on this which you can review here.

FRX remains compatible with prior versions of Sage ERP MAS 90 and 200. Sage have also indicated it will be compatible with the next version 4.5 slated for release 9/8/11 – though the only assistance Sage can provide is with integration to Sage ERP MAS 90 and MAS 200. All bug fixes and patches have ceased to be readily available for the FRX program.

For new custom financial reporting projects involving more than a few hours of efforts you may wish to evaluate which reporting tool you should use to create new reports.

Moving forward users of FRX will eventually need to migrate to another reporting solution. Sage have provided Sage MAS Intelligence (SMI) as their recommended solution.

SMI is Microsoft Excel based and draws data not only from your financial data but also data from other MAS 90 + MAS 200 data files such as Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, etc.

Sage published this PDF which provides many tips and online links showing how to get started with SMI. Those of you with immediate reporting needs may find it helpful to review the information which goes into greater depth on available resources.

On Wednesday August 24, 2011 Sage will sponsor a free one hour look (30 minute demo and 30 minute question and answer) at creating financial statements using SMI Report Designer. The session starts at 1pm PDT or 4pm EDT. You can sign up here to attend this overview or review the schedule of future SMI web seminars.
