Editor's Notes
- Version 4.4 completes the conversion of the MAS ERP Distribution modules to the Business Framework. Parallel Migration allows you to upgrade your MAS ERP software without significant downtime. Install to separate location Initial migration of data allows us to test conversion, reporting, customizations, etc. to ensure all is okay before going live Second migration and conversion possible All system files (Users, Companies, Security) migrate and convert from any version beginning with V 3.71 Customer Number expanded to 20 characters Inventory Item Number expanded to 30 characters Usability improvement include incorporated Extended Solutions and user-requested enhancements Enhancements to the Customizer allow you to do business your way
- Speaker Notes: Look at all the new features we get with IM, PO and BOM in the framework. I know you and our customers have been asking for many of these features to help streamline their business and help their employees save time. Two very notable benefits are the User and Date Timestamps and Keep Window Open after Print or Preview. The user and date timestamp is a feature we have received request for again and again. I think we will all agree the feature to keep the report selection screen open will be a very well received improvement Slide Content Extras Dual Grid Entry – Allows users to personalize their data entry to fit their needs. Memo Manager – Allows user to determine where and how memos specifically pop up. May attach documents, such as vendor purchase information, to a specific memo. Batch Manager - Customizer Enhancements – many new UDF capabilities have been added, including the ability to bring lot/serial information through data entry. Hyperlinks – Provides quick access to related information, such as Product Line Maintenance or Warehouse Code Maintenance. Crystal Reports and Forms User/Date Timestamps-All IM, PO and BOM transactions are updated with the User/Date Timestamp Right-Click Menu – Allows the user to quickly access related tasks such as warehouse maintenance, transaction entry and inventory sales history report. Reports & Forms Saved Report Settings Keep Window Open After Print or Preview Setup Wizard – Streamlines initial setup of the module. PTD/YTD Enhancement Security Flexibility Create/Modify/View/Control Security Events Object Interface
- With version 4.4, in-place upgrades are no longer supported; all upgrades will require the installation of MAS 90 or 200 to a new location and migration of existing data to the new installation. The new install can be on the existing server, or can be on a new server on the same network. All existing system files can be migrated, so Users, Security, and other administrative features will not have to be recreated. All Custom reports and forms can be migrated as well, although, depending upon the version being upgraded, some forms and reports will need to be recreated. Screen customizations for new business framework modules will also have to be recreated. MAS 90 version 4.4 enables us to upgrade from any currently supported level (3.71 and above) to version 4.4. The Pre-migration utility allows us to review existing data prior to migration to minimize any migration issues. These utilities include G/L analysis for version 3.71, and I/M analysis tools for all other versions.
- Speaker Notes: It is important to note this is a permanent change and cannot be undone. There are multiple warnings you must agree to before the change will happen.
- Speaker Notes: This includes work order, job cost, etc.
- Persistent Zoom on preview is based by user for all reports Library Master > User Maintenance > Preferences Quantity Decimal Precision – increased from 3 to 4
- Speaker Notes: Refreshed look of desktop to be more contemporary and to provide easy access to ways of being more connected to our customers. -Community – Training and Support – Visability to New - The biggest plus IMHO, is a way for customers to submit their enhancement request right in their face. Allowing them to view what other customers has requested also.
- The Common Information module stores Maintenance applications and reports for product items and tasks that are shared across multiple modules. New features include the Misc Item Detail Report, the expanded item code, and expansion of the number of years to retain item history. Other features that have been relocated from their original locations to the CI folder include these items.
- Speaker Notes: Standard Cost Items Valued at $0.00 cost Physical Count Entry - Increases efficiency of customer, reduces total time of process. Current or History Standard Cost - data created after conversion will print Standard Cost historical information correctly. In older versions this report always printed the ‘current’ standard cost. You will be able to change the default historical setting to current. IM Negative Quantity Adjustments Adjustment to IM GL Account & Offset Account Transaction Posted to IM Transaction Detail Table
