What's New in Sage ERP MAS 90 & MAS 200 4.40 Product Update 5
Product Update 5 for v4.40 is due to be released in March 2011. What will it include? Look through this list of the upcoming significant enhancements in PU 5.
Inactive Item Designation
This Inventory Management feature allows you to designate certain Inventory Items as 'inactive.' Sales Order Entry, Sales Order Invoice Entry, Purchase Order Entry, P/O Receipt of Goods Entry, P/O Return of Goods Entry and I/M Transaction Entry will all be modified to disallow entry of Items that have been marked as 'inactive'.
Security for Inventory Inquiry
Security is added to the Inventory Inquiry Screen, I/M Detailed Sales History Inquiry Option, and Purchase Order Inquiry from Inventory Inquiry. This security prevents the user from entering certain options and seeing cost or vendor information.
Physical Count Entry by Ticket Number
Data entry options for 'Ticket Number Entry' are added to the Inventory Management Physical Count process for all valuation methods except Lot and Serial Number. Multiple Inventory Item records may now be entered for each 'Ticket' Number. You can specify in Setup which Unit of Measure you wish to use for the counting process. If you select any Unit of Measure other than 'Standard,' then the quantity will be converted into each Inventory Item's Standard Unit of Measure during the update to standard MAS 90 and MAS 200 Inventory Physical Count.
Background Color by Company Code
Allows a different background color to be established by Company Code. No more accidentally entering hours' worth of data into your test company when you thought you were in your live company!
Multiple Company AP Aged Invoice Report
Modifies the Accounts Payable Aged Invoice Report to add a range of Company Codes to the Selection criteria and adds Company Code as a column on the report, to the left of the Invoice Number.
Distribution Table for Invoice Entry
Adds user-defined 'distribution tables' to Accounts Payable. Each table lists up to ninety-nine General Ledger Account Numbers and a corresponding percentage value for each account. During Invoice Data Entry, a distribution table may be selected and used to generate distribution lines for the invoice.
Additional Check Printing Sort Option
Adds the ability to print checks in alphabetical order by Vendor Name.
