Top 10 Mistakes Sage MAS90 & MAS200 users make.
Monday, February 1st, 2010Thanks to my friend, Wayne Shulz for this great top 10 article. In his article, he published the top 10 most frequent mistakes users of MAS 90 and MAS 200 make.
- Not making a backup company at year end.
- Failing to reconcile the subsidiary ledger detail balances (accounts payable, accounts receivable, inventory) monthly to the general ledger control totals.
- Trying to agree the subsidiary AGED INVOICE instead of TRIAL BALANCE report to the general ledger
- Setting the data retention periods to any number less than the maximum in any module.
- Believing any third party software company who tells you that integration to MAS 90 or MAS 200 is “no problem”.
- Reinitializing any data file other than a temporary data entry file.
- Failing to backup your data every day.
- Making a change to a payroll tax deduction and failing to check with your tax accountant to verify the proper tax treatment.
- Closing payroll for the year before printing W2s or making a backup.
- Delete, renumbering or merging a range of customers, vendors, inventory item or general ledger accounts.
I agree almost 100% with his assessment. The original article with all the details are here.

Wednesday, January 13th, 2010Thanks to my friend Wayne Shulz for bringing this to my attention.
As you may know, version 4.4 of Sage MAS90 and MAS200 is due out in the next 3 to 6 months. This version brings out some key enhancements and is a fairly substantial upgrade from version 4.3
The Inventory, Purchase Order and Bill Of Materials module get brought into the Business Framework. This means you have the Crystal based reports, the resizable windows, the flexible grids, the easy and powerful User Defined Fields (UDF’s) etc.
There are also some expansions that have been a long time coming. The Customer number gets expanded to 20 characters and the item number gets expanded to 30. (These changes are optional)
One big not so obvious feature is the ability to run VB Scripts based on actions a user takes. This will allow power users and consultants the ability to customize the solution in many ways that previously required a source code ProvideX programmer. These changes, like UDF’s, are above the source code and should migrate to new versions much easier.
An example might be to add a UDF to a sales order line. That UDF is a lookup list of vendors. Then place a button on the Sales Order that will automatically place purchase orders for each item on a sales order to the vendor chosen. Very cool!
To get a look at these new features, Sage’s normally NOT free Sage University Anytime Learning system has a FREE course on these features.
