Beware of Migrating to MAS v4.4 if you have A LOT of 00-NOF Vendor Checks

I recently began the process of migrating a client from Sage ERP MAS 90 v4.1 to V4.4. The client didn’t have a lot of modules (and none of the modules rewritten for 4.4) nor any customizations so I thought it would be a relatively painless upgrade. Wrong! The first test conversion ran over the weekend [...]

After six months of waiting patiently, Sage included in their last month’s v4.4 Product Update 2, the ability to import item #’s that had been renumbered. When I saw the news release, I did a little jump for joy as I have several clients holding back on renumbering items. It is so much easier to [...]

The directory in P/L Journal and Register Maintenance Is Invalid (SOLVED)

One again 90Minds member Alnoor Cassim to the rescue. After upgrading a MAS 200 and migrating the program to a new server — while leaving the paperless office files temporarily on the old server — Alnoor correctly diagnosed a tricky error message. All users on the system were receiving a message: “The directory in P/L [...]

Using MAS90 and MAS200 Customizer Scripting to show a document related to an inventory item

This came from a stream in our discussion group. It allows you to associate a PDF (usually a drawing) with items and have the ability to click a button to automatically bring it up (and email it if necessary). It is designed to properly error trap if the document can’t be found. Thanks to all [...]
