- #22 Presenters: Please show budgeting functions illustrated in live demo system. You can maintain and report on multiple budgets in MAS. This is controlled in G/L Setup, where budgets are initially defined.
- #23 Budget Maintenance allows you to manipulate budget information by entering actual numbers or using a wizard to calculate budget information. Presenter should review the functions available on the right hand side of Budget Maintenance screen (Change Budget, Calculate Wizard, etc). Note this function is for maintaining a single account’s budget at a time.
- #24 Create a budget for a range of accounts by using the automatic budget feature which will allow for calculation of budget numbers based upon actuals or other budget information from the current year or previous years. Once the base calculation is determined, a revision percentage can be used to increase or decrease the base amount for all accounts or a range of accounts.
- #25 Budgets can be imported from a spreadsheet or other standard format file using the G/L Exchange feature.
- #27 The set up options in Sales Order allow you to set a warning notice if profit margins are below a designated percentage during Sales Order Entry and Invoice Data Entry to activate the Profit Margin Checking feature. This feature calculates a profit percentage based on the price entered for the line and the last cost of the item, regardless of the inventory valuation method. The percentage is recalculated whenever the price for the current line is changed. If the calculated percentage is lower than the percentage entered in this field, a warning message appears. Discount rates by line are included in the calculation. Note Profit margin warning is not performed on credit memos, or the defaulted price from the item.
- #28 In Purchase Order Options, the Line entry tab provides the option to control whether the system allows the quantity received/invoiced to exceed the quantity ordered. Select this check box to allow the quantity received to exceed the quantity ordered during Receipt of Goods Entry or the quantity invoiced during Receipt of Invoice Entry. Clear this check box if you do not want to allow the quantity received or invoiced to exceed the quantity ordered. When the box is unchecked, the system will display a message advising the user that the quantity must be less than or equal to the quantity ordered.
- #29 ***Presenters: you can enter 3 sales order lines using the first three items that show up on the inventory list to illustrate this feature. Use a quantity of 5 on each line. After completing the third line, click the “Item Price” button at the bottom of the screen and the sales order will recalculate the line item price based upon the larger discount*** In the version 4.5 release, Sage enhanced the pricing abilities of Sales Order. In addition to pricing by the quantity on a single line, we now have the capacity to price on total quantities for multiple lines within a category or for the invoice as a whole. While there are several settings and options to be considered, we will go through a simple example today of a price discount based upon the total quantity of three sales order lines in the same Product Line. This is controlled in the Sales Order Options on the Line entry tab. We have enabled Item Pricing by total qty based upon Product Line. When we enter a sales order, we will select three items, each at a quantity of 5. The price code attached to each of these items allows for quantity discounts breaks at 5, 10 and 15. Now that we have enabled total qty pricing the sales order will consider the total quantity of 15 and apply the higher discount. You can also group items for discounts in other ways, such as product categories established in Inventory Management options, or you can discount the order/invoice based upon the total of all lines.
- #30 To change your menus (hide, re-order, rename) in Sage MAS 90 or MAS 200 version 4.x use the hidden SY_MENU_UI utility. This works for any menu – including those pesky Custom Report menus that have a nasty tendency of dropping your reports in a random order. It does have some limitations. You can not use this utility to add/delete a program from the Menu You may only move items within their existing menu. For example, you can not move Customer Listing from the Reports Menu to the Main Menu.
