           • Two new security event roles have been added in Role Maintenance to allow you to designate
             which roles can change or delete the key used to encrypt credit card numbers. Industry

         • In Sales Order Options, you can now elect whether or not you
           want to receive a warning message to help avoid the duplicate
           printing of picking sheets. This issue may occur if the Print Pick
           Sheets check box for a sales order is not cleared because the order
           is in use by another user during the printing process. If you do not
           elect to receive the message, the information is written to the
           Activity Log.
Sales Order (continued)

     Creating Sales Orders from Master and
      Repeating Orders and Quotes:
         • When creating a sales order from a master or repeating

            submit. The Positive Pay file contains key information, such as check
            numbers and dollar amounts, to identify only the checks you have issued
            and authorized for payment. Components of the check must match
            exactly or the check will not be paid.
          • The new Positive Pay Export Wizard can be used to create the proper
            export file format that your financial institution requires to compare the
            file you send with the checks that are presented for payment. For your
            reference, a field formatting and export details document is available
            from the wizard. The wizard can also be used to update your file format,
            as banks may change their specified file format.
          • In Check, Deposit and Adjustment Entry, checks sent to the bank using
            Positive Pay are now identified with an Exported check box.

           specifications of your financial institution so you can
           efficiently reconcile your checks, or your business
           partner can configure the setting in their office, export
           the file, and then import it into your system. Once
           defined, you can automatically reconcile check
           information received from your financial institution.
Accounts Payable Enhancements
    Pay Vendors Electronically (similar to AP-1063)
          • In the Accounts Payable module, you can now pay vendors electronically by
            creating an ACH file to increase efficiency, improve your cash management, reduce
            operating costs, and lessen the risk of lost or stolen checks. You can enable ACH
            electronic payments in the new ACH tab in Accounts Payable Options, and define
            how they will be handled by your company and the type of information that will be
            transmitted to your financial institution.
          • Use the new ACH Interface Maintenance task on the Accounts Payable Setup menu
            to select and set up the financial institution(s) you want to use for your electronic
            payments. Define the format and layout of the ACH file for each financial
            institution.
          • Set up your vendors' bank accounts using the Vendor Electronic Payment window,
            accessed from Vendor Maintenance. Then use the tasks on the Accounts Payable
            Pre-Note Printing menu to generate pre-note ACH files to submit to banks for pre-
            note approval. After the vendor bank accounts have been approved, define your
            selections in the Vendor Electronic Payments window, including electronic
            payment distribution of payments, which can be allocated between one or more
            accounts.
Accounts Payable (continued)
     Pay Vendors Electronically (continued)
          • Electronic payments are processed through Check Printing and Electronic
            Payment (formerly named Check Printing). After you update the Check
            and Electronic Payment Registers, use Generate ACH File to generate a
            file for transmission to your bank.
          • Along with checks, you can now print electronic payments on the
            Accounts Payable Check History Report and the Payment History Report.
            They also appear in the Checks tab in Vendor Maintenance and in the
            Payments tab in Accounts Payable Invoice History Inquiry. In addition, you
            can also choose to print a report of auto checks, manual checks, voided
            checks, reversals, credit card transfers, electric payments, wire transfers,
            all of these, or in any combination.
          • When printing the Vendor Listing and Vendor Listing with Balances
            reports, you can now make a selection to print only vendors that are set
            up for electronic payments. Also, you can print the vendor’s electronic
            payment information on the Vendor Listing.
Accounts Payable (continued)
     Pay Vendors Electronically (continued)
         • You can now record the reversal of an electronic payment in
           Manual Check and Payment Entry, though you must contact the
           bank directly to cancel or reverse the payment.
         • Two new utilities, Purge Electronic Payments and Purge Vendor
           Electronic Payment History, have been added to the Accounts
           Payable Utilities menu.
         • In Role Maintenance, module options have been added allowing
           you to manage access to the new Vendor Electronic Payment
           window and the ability to print electronic payment information
           when printing the Vendor Listing.
Paperless Office Enhancements

     Accounts Payable Checks, Extended Stubs, and
      Electronic Payment Remittance Advices: (similar to
      AP-1095)
         • Save time, money, and the environment by utilizing Paperless
           Office to process, send, and retain electronic copies of Accounts
           Payable checks and extended stubs and remittance advices
           created for ACH Electronic Payments in PDF format. Add a unique
           message to include when e-mailing or faxing electronic
           remittances. The PDFs you create are then available to e-mail and
           fax, archive, and retrieve when needed. Easily access PDFs using
           the Vendor Viewer from Paperless Office or the Checks tab in
           Vendor Maintenance/Inquiry.
Product Update Enhancement

    Product Update Pre-Installation Scan Feature
        • Utilize the Product Update Pre-Installation Scan to identify data
          integrity issues during the installation. Determine your data’s
          health during the scan, and utilize Sage ERP MAS 90 and 200
          Library Master Utilities for corrections as needed. The scan
          identifies suspect data and the accompanying log provides the
          necessary steps to address issues prior to the product update
          installation, streamlining the update process. Conveniently add
          this maintenance step to your normal process whenever you
          install a new product update.
        • For more details on the new Pre-Installation Data Scan utility,
          please refer to the detailed scan utility document posted on the
          Sage ERP MAS 90 and 200 download section of Sage Online.

           Users can enter these adjustments and post to the

           Number and Comment for the Checks. These will also
           be available fields when entering checks, deposits and
           adjustments on the fly. Information you add in the
           comment field will also flow through to the General
           Ledger when the transactions are posted.
Bank Reconciliation Enhancements (continued)

     Transaction Register (New)
         • This new task has been added to the Bank
           Reconciliation Menu, as well as Check, Deposit and
           Adjustment Entry and Reconcile Bank to provide the
           ability to post selected transactions that are entered in
           Bank Reconciliation to the General Ledger module. To
           safeguard against unintended entries, posting is only
           allowed for those transactions entered directly into the
           Bank Reconciliation module.
Bank Reconciliation Enhancements (continued)
