Sage ERP MAS 90 and 200 Tracking Error Alert: Click the Tracking Button: Server Error 404 – File or directory not found.
Via our 90 Minds internal Socialcast network I’ve seen a few reports that when users of Sage ERP MAS 90 or 200 click the tracking button they’re presented with:
Server Error 404 – File or directory not found.
Server Error 404 – File or directory not found.
The resource you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.
I spoke with Sage and they are aware of this issue. iship changed their link and did not forewarn Sage, so they are working on a resolution. In the meantime, I found that if I click the link in MAS 200, then when it brings up the error, I was able to type “x” after .asp and it worked.
Workaround:

How To: MAS90 or MAS200 Sales Order Entry Automatically Backorder Items That Are Not On Hand?
This question just came up in our private discussion area and the solution is one that we though many users could benefit from.
The question?
Does anyone know of a way to have Sales Order entry automatically backorder items that are not on hand? My client is upgrading from 4.05 and swears it works that way in the old version but in 4.4, you have to actually click the radio button. I haven’t tested 4.05 but that does sound familiar.
After several rounds of ideas – Dawn Anastasi of C&G Consulting finally provided the answer:
Yes that is possible, you want to turn off the quantity checking in S/O first of all. Second, you want to turn OFF the setting in Role Maintenance for “allow to exceed qty on hand” on tab #3.
Opting Out of Sage Product Enhancement Program for MAS90 or MAS200 In 3 Steps
Sage has a new program called PEP (product enhancement program) which they say anonymously collects data on the way you use the software.
If you prefer not to transmit this information (which Sage say’s may happen as often as once per day and include software serial numbers, usage of key features, etc) then you can turn it off in three easy steps.
Step One
Login as the administrator to Sage ERP MAS 90 or 200. This happens directly from the initial login. Instead of using your user login code – use the login Administrator.
Enter in the administrator password.
If you do not have the administrator password – locate the person in your company who does or contact your Sage business partner – or Sage.
Step Two
Once logged into the administrative control panel – select the very last option at the bottom of the screen:
Sage Product Enhancement Program
Change your participation in the program
Step Three
Remove the check mark from the following screen where it indicates “Participate in Program”.
If you change your mind in the future you can always reverse these changes by following the above steps and checking the “Participate in Program”.

How to modify MAS90 , MAS200 menus – plus MY TASK menus
In case you are interested – How to modify MAS menus and MY TASK menus:
To modify Menus, run the MAS utility: File / Run / sy_menu_ui
To modify MyTask Menus:
Public My Task Menus: ..MAS90\MAS_System\MNUTASKP.INI
Private My Task Menus: ..\Mas90\Launcher\Mas90Logon\WindowLogon\
Resolution ID 493260
I find this useful for identifying the path that a shortcut is pointing too.
You can also re-organize the order in which links display on the menu by changing their order in the .ini file.
This is how it was done when MAS90 3.00 first came out. I never realized it was still managed the same way until today

Sage MAS 90/200 Quick Tip from Zip: Restrict Date fields
If you’ve ever wanted to restrict any Date fields in Sage MAS 90/200 (e.g., Invoice Date) so that only certain dates were allowed, there’s an easy solution. (For example, if users are occasionally making keying errors.)
Assuming you have the Custom Office module, and depending what version of MAS 90/200 you’re running, you can go into the Advanced Field Settings for the Date field (Custom Office > Main > User-Defined Field and Table Maintenance: then select the appropriate Module, double-click the appropriate Table > Advanced Field Settings) - and specify a Range of Values for the Validation (e.g., 20111201 through 20111231 – or whatever make sense). And of course going forward you’ll need to edit this Validation Range as needed.
