Dear Wall Climber,
|
|
From Core Financials and Project Management to
Distribution and Manufacturing, Sage MAS 90 and 200 4.4 is loaded with
features. You'll be able to work even more efficiently the way you want
to 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. 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.

Upgrading
|
|
To help you drive
efficiency, you'll be able to migrate to the new version with more
control and at much greater convenience to your company. Parallel
Migration will allow you to continue operating your business on your
existing Sage MAS 90 or 200 system while the new
4.4 system is getting prepared and tested - minimizing downtime and
reducing the risk of transitioning from test to live.

|
Customization
|
|
In 4.4, Custom
Office enhancements allow you to program events to run with or without user
interaction (clicking a button), in addition to the ability to add
user-defined fields and additional buttons. Customizations done using
Custom Office now survive upgrades throughout most of your system,
including those in Inventory Management, Purchase Order, Bill of
Materials, and Bar Code. For example, you can add expiration dates or
other attributes for lot and serial items, and that information flows
through the system. Another example for customizations using standard
scripting is Sales Oder Entry expiration dates
can automatically change if Quote is chosen as the Order type.

Inventory
Counts
|
|
Save valuable
time and streamline the workflow of your physical count. Be assured of accuracy,
by printing the system Quantity On Hand directly on the physical count
worksheet, arranged in the order you desire. Your warehouse manager is
aware of the expected count, as they supervise the item count. Then, to
further streamline the process, the expected quantity can be set as the
default, so only your changes require an entry.
|
|
Enhanced Bill of
Materials Features
|
|
Get a more
comprehensive and personalized view of information using fewer
keystrokes. See the entire bill or its individual components and their
relationship at a glance. View Where Used information, and see all
components used in the current revision or for all revisions by drilling
directly into Item of Bill of Material Maintenance. From within an
inquiry screen, you can see everything related to the bill - its
subassemblies or its components - without having to use more than one
window, saving time and streamlining the workflow. Increase the accuracy
and enhance your workflow with the ability to print comments and
miscellaneous charges on your Picking Sheets.
