Sage 100 ERP 941 Form Alignment Fix

March 31, 2013 by Wayne Schulz

sage 941 alignment

Sage have just issued a program patch for versions 4.3+ of Sage 100 ERP which corrects an issue some users have encountered trying to print the 2013 IRS form 941.

It appears the original issue relates to the report itself which would resize the fonts incorrectly when the workstation display settings were NOT set to 100% (default).

The two report files which are updated:

PR941A.RPT
PRSCHB.RPT

Depending upon the version of Sage 100 ERP (formerly Sage ERP MAS 90 and MAS 200) you can download the fix from:

Sage 100 ERP 2013 Product Update 2 – download link and instructions
Sage 100 ERP 2013 Product Update 1 – download link and instructions
Sage 100 ERP 4.3 to 4.5 – download link and instructions

March 29, 2013 by Wayne Schulz

Sage have just released the updated IRS form 941 for 2013 filing. This update is available for users of Sage 100 ERP on v4.30.23 and higher. In order to install the update you’ll need to download the program patch from Sage’s customer or partner site.

Partners can download the Sage 100 ERP form 941 update patch directly from – here (login required)

Why isn’t the form 941 aligning?

In some cases customers have observed that the form is not aligning properly. The cause appears to be that the computer from which they are printing the form has the default system font set to something other than 100%.

How to print  Sage 100 ERP form 941 properly aligned

Please change your computers display (DPI) settings to Smaller – 100%(default).

  1. Go to Control Panel and click Display
  2. Select Smaller-100%(default)
  3. Click Apply

NOTE: This will require a reboot for changes to take affect.

4 Easy Steps To Update Your Sage 100 (MAS90) Payroll Tax Tables 2013

January 1, 2013 by Wayne Schulz

Here’s a quick reminder of how you can download the updated payroll tax tables for Sage 100 ERP (fka MAS90 and MAS200). The tax tables are only available online. Sage does not send out disks/CD materials any longer.

Luckily the process is very simple. Before you begin have everyone exit your Sage 100 ERP system (expect the process to take 15 to 30 minutes depending upon computer speed).

On December 17, 2012 Sage updated the payroll tax tables for Sage 100 ERP 2013. This update works on versions 4.30.0.23 and higher and contains the latest released income tax schedules from the federal and state governments. Be aware that late breaking tax news ofte requires that these tables are issued multiple times for updated legislation. Be sure to check with your Sage partner or tax advisor for advice on when to update the tables.

 

  1. Login to your Sage customer portal here.  Sage partners login here. Then proceed to step 2
  2. Click this link to download the IRD for 2012 (required for .9% Medicare Surcharge in 2013) – version 4.30.18+ only. Older versions of Sage 100 ERP must upgrade in order to use the IRD (Interim Release Disk).
  3. Click this link to download the latest IRS payroll tax tables.
  4. Now install the IRD first, then the tax tables. You’ll click each of the files you downloaded and the actual install programs will be unzipped into a separate folder. Navigate into those folders to perform the IRD and then the tax table install. I like to use \MAS90\CONSULTANT\DOWNLOADS to store various Sage related downloads but you can put them anywhere you like.

 

Reminder: If you’re printing W2 forms in 2013 after you’ve closed your 2012 payroll year – you will need to reset your Social Security limits to the 2012 levels only while printing the W2. Once printed be sure to change the limits back to 2013 levels.

Reminder: Beginning with next year all form printing (W2, 941, 1099) happens through Sage Aatrix – eFiling. This is a free included component of Sage 100 ERP though it must be separately loaded to your local workstation(s) in order to work. Contact your Sage partner for assistance.  If you are using Sage 100 ERP 2013 and cannot find your form printing menu – see this post Where Are W2 Form Printing, Quarterly 941 Printing or 1099 Form Printing In Sage 100 ERP 2013?
