Sage MAS 90/200 Quick Tip from Zip: Uppercase Address Utility
It’s not uncommon for your Customer and Vendor data to get somewhat out-of-whack – in that you lose consistency regarding some data being all Uppercase, some all Lowercase, and some Mixed Case. This can be a little frustrating but luckily there’s a nice simple Utility to rectify it: Uppercase Address Utility (SWUPCS). This standard MAS 90/200 Utility allows [...]

Sage have just updated their MAS 90 & MAS 200 product update section with a hot fix for an issue that crept into their Sage ERP MAS 90 and MAS 200 version 4.40 product update 3. The fix – SO4076-T – resolves an issue where comment lines weren’t transferring from the sales order to an [...]
MAS 90 Product Update 3 Critical Bug Alert: Sales Order Comments
Product Update 3 for Sage MAS 90 and MAS 200 was just released on September 27, 2010. If you haven’t already downloaded and applied it then you might want to wait a little while longer.

Why did my MAS 90 Payroll Import delete after upgrading to V44
When you upgrade to Sage MAS 90 or MAS 200 v4.4, you must prepare your Payroll Data entry imports prior to upgrading in order for them to work in v4.4 MAS90. If you don’t, when you try to compile the PR.DATAENT import you will receive an error message, and the job will delete. If [...]
Are You A MAS90 Money Crunch Victim?
The economy is tight. And every day we hear from users looking for a way to save costs. Sometimes it’s a request for something that we’re not able to do – like discount their software maintenance or undercut a bid from a local consultant. While technically I guess we probably could do those things – [...]
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 [...]

An interesting question came up last night on our private email list concerning the best way to discover the number of available SageCRM user licenses on a MAS 200 EES implementation. Barbara Goldstein of Quantera Systems wrote: I don’t know/recall how SageCRM uses licenses. Client has MAS90 EES 1.3 (the 90 version, not 200). They [...]
Epicor Earnings Call Wrapup – 7/30/2010
Epicor reported quarterly earnings today. Total license revenue was up 9% and George Klaus the company CEO talked a LOT about ”new name license” theme. He invoked the fact that Epicor 9 was doing well selling to new accounts – frequently. I’m not entirely sure why – but the press didn’t follow up on this [...]
