Clients First knows their software, but they are also astute business people, and they really understand manufacturing and distribution in particular.

From Core Financials and Project Management to Distribution and Manufacturing, Sage MAS 90 and 200 4.4 is filledwith features. You’ll be able to work even more productively with additional features and enhancements focused on workflow and business process – especially in the inventory, purchase order, bill of materials and bar code areas of the system. All of these modules have been brought up to the latest business framework. Included in Sage MAS 90 and 200 version 4.4 are some of the most requested customer enhancements and usability improvements.
Expanded fields Customer and Item Numbers can be expanded in 4.4, with 20 alphanumeric characters available to be used for Customer numbers, and 30 for Item Numbers. These new character field lengths allow you to add specific information to improve your workflow and enhance business processes. Identify the customer you want easier using up to 20 characters by using full company names, or adding coded or themed information, which assists in easy identification for multiple accounts of the same or similar names, and more. Using 30 character item numbers improves productivity and business workflow with smart part numbers, such as a UPC, recycling codes, a vendor number, special handling requirements information, and more.

Wayne Shulz of Shulz Consulting found this very informative video on Credit Card Industry security requirements and how it applies to Sage MAS90 and MAS200. It really applies to any application that electronically process credit cards however.
Thanks 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.
Suppose you run Sage MAS 90 in New York City (NYC) and wanted to know what version of your Sage software would be supported through when? Really, it doens’t matter where you are as Sage has recently issued a new table showing you which MAS releases will be supported through what dates. It talks about phone support, versus, product updates, versus hot fixes etc.
For the MAS90/200 series, they are supporting up to six versions back (3.71) which is actually quite good compared to most competitors.
While Sage Accpac is not in this chart, they have indicated they will support two versions back beyond the current release. The same is the general policy for MAS500.
