Credit Card Processing for Sage MAS 90 / 200 has been available for quite some time.  Recently, Sage has added a new twist to this module -- they have added their own processing solution called Sage Payment Solutions.  This processor has eliminated many of the problems associated with the PC Charge.

 

Now the great news -- the module is essentially free!  You simply pay for the annual maintenance fee (currently US$200 annually).  You must be on Sage MAS 90 / 200 v4.2 or higher.

At the annual Sage Partner conference this year, we had the opportunity to see the coolest thing ever!  Really.

 

One of the larger Sage development partners, Blytheco, have created a browser interface for Sage MAS 90 / 200.  This works with Sage MAS 90 / 200 v4.3 and higher.

 

Users can also access MAS 90 through the iPhone and Blackberry.

 

Out of office access to Sage MAS 90 / 200 has never been easier.

From time to time, you've probably ended up with a customer or vendor that has several invoices outstanding, but the customer/vendor total is $0.  Do you know how to offset these invoices so that your Aged Invoice Reports no longer show them?

 

Accounts Receivable -- following the theme from the past few newsletters, you can process a $0 cash receipt for your customer.  Start by creating a cash receipt with a total of $0, select the customer, make up a cheque number (something like OFFSET will make it easier to track later), the payment amount is $0, and then on the Lines screen, select each invoice that you want to offset -- it's usually easiest to select the negative invoice balance first.  Try it!

 

Accounts Payable -- start by going into Manual Check Entry.  In the cheque number field, you should enter APP plus a number from 001 to 999 (for example, APP100).  If you use the letters APP, the system will let you create/post a $0 cheque.  On the Lines screen, you can then offset the positive and negative invoices balances.
