MAS90 v4.4 and You
 As you
probably know by now, the latest version of Sage MAS90 and MAS200,
Version 4.4, has now shipped. Data conversations and upgrades appear
to be going smoothly, and it appears to be more stable than
many of the preceding versions. A large number of the
additions included in this version came from specific user
requests, so there is likely to be something in here
for almost everyone. Some of the newer features that we've
found to be of greatest interest include:
· Expanded
Inventory Item Numbers (from 15 to 30 characters)
· Expanded
Miscellaneous Charge Codes (from 7 to 30 characters)
· Expanded
Customer Numbers (from 7 to 20 characters)
· Displaying
"expected" item counts during inventory physical count
entry
· Improved
Drop Ship Processing (drop ship receipts now included in history)
· Upgrade of
Inventory, Purchase Order, and Bill of Materials to the "new
framework"
· Persistent
report settings (users can set their own report configurations and
they will stay with the user)
· Significantly
enhanced usability (date/time stamps, right clicking on screens for
increased inquiry capabilities, etc.)
Please
check out our MAS90 v4.4 Overview for
more details and the ability to download a document reviewing all the
cool new stuff.

 Creative Solutions
One of the
biggest areas for streamlining operations and getting more out of
your accounting and ERP software is in the area of integrating shipping
solutions with MAS90 and MAS200. If you're not already using
Starship or another integrated multi-carrier shipping solution, there
are huge advantages to tieing in your UPS Worldship and/or Fedex
Shipment Manager Software with MAS90. Tracking Numbers, ship
dates, weights, and other key shipping data can be available
automatically within MAS90. This can cut huge amounts of time
and effort down from your customer service and accounting staff, and
additionally eliminate many of the errors that can occur when manual
entry of this information occurs.
Our enhancement, UPS & FedEx
Integrator for MAS90, addresses this
integration. It streamlines the integration of shipping
information with MAS90 and allows you to integrate with MAS90 in
whatever way makes sense for you. The shipping data can
integrate with sales orders, invoices, or both. Click on
the link above for more information.

Our
Tips & Tricks this week discusses how to apply a Credit
Memo to an Open Invoice.
 From time to time, a customer might request
that an issued Credit Memo be applied to an Open Invoice in lieu of
payment. If the Credit Memo was never applied to an invoice, these
steps illustrate how to clear the invoice balance.
- Navigate to Modules->Accounts
Receivable->Main->Cash
Receipts Entry.
- Select the Next
Deposit Number
- In the Description
field, enter a description for the deposit
- Click ACCEPT
- Select the customer
to apply the invoices
- In the Check No
field, enter a check no. (It does not matter what number is
entered as this will not be recorded in Bank Reconciliation, but
MAS 90 requires a check number).
- In 2.Lines Tab
select the invoice with the balance
- In 2.Lines Tab,
select the Credit Memo to be applied to the invoice.
- Update the
Registers.
