Converting an old Sage FAS 50 or 100 installation to MAS 90 or MAS200 FAS

Thursday, March 5th, 2009

Listed below are the step for converting from FAS 50 to MAS FAS.  To go from FAS 100 to MAS FAS, the steps are the same; you will just back up on FAS 100 and run the restore in MAS FAS and restore to a database you create with that program. It works the same, you just have to Launch MAS FAS from within MAS (like usual) and follow the commands from there.

Jobops for Sage MAS 90 and 200 version 4.3

Wednesday, February 18th, 2009

via Wayne Shulz

The latest version of the popular job management software package Job Ops has just been released in version 4.3 format. This new update is compatible with the latest Sage MAS 90 and 200 accounting software which was released in June 2008.

Sage MAS 90 and MAS 200 contains a Job Costing module which is adequate for many small job tracking situations. However if your company wants to get more in depth with job tracking, then you should consider JobOps.

One of the key features which has proven atrractive is JobOps ability to begin the job process with a quote. Starting in Sales Order, work tickets are fashioned from their original quote status. This is a step that standard Sage MAS 90 and 200 doesn’t provide and one of the key reasons that over 600 Sage MAS 90 and 200 users have turned to Job Ops for increased Job Management flexibility.
