Quarterly Webinar

Your support agreement with Munjal White entitles you to attend our quarterly webinar series at no additional cost.  The next topic is Your Sage 100 ERP Data in Excel.  Click here to learn more and to register for this webinar scheduled for Tuesday, July 10, at 10:30am.

Support Changes 

We're sorry to say goodbye to Mithunan, our Software Support Analyst.  After only 9 months with us, Mithunan has decided to take his career in a new direction and will be working with friends in software development.

His departure will leave a gap in our support team and we're working to fill the vacancy right away.  In the meantime, if you have any Sage 100 ERP (MAS 90 / 200) support issues, please email us at WebSupport@munjalwhite.com and we'll respond as soon as we can.  Our support agreement includes a 3 hour response time and we'll do our best to respond within this timeframe.  As usual, please email WebSupport@munjalwhite.com and not Shabnam or Robert individually as the WebSupport email address is monitored by both of us and will ensure the fastest response for you.


 

Creating a New Company Code  

There are times when you would like a test company with data that looks similar to your real company to try something.  You can create or update a test company code in v4.00 or higher using the steps below.

If the test company code, let's say TST in our example here, does not already exist in MAS, you need to create the company code.  Go to Library Master | Main | Company Maintenance and enter TST in the code field and enter a name such as Test Company - July 3, 2012.  Accept the screen.  This creates the company code, but no data in it.

Go back to Library Master | Main | Company Maintenance and type in the company code again (eg TST in this sample).  Click on the COPY button on the top right of the screen.  You'll be prompted for the SOURCE company.  This is important, since this is the company code you're copying FROM (eg your live company code, PAT, SCA, etc).  NEVER EVER make the destination your live company data; your live company should only be the source.  Click on the select all green check mark icon on the right hand side of the screen to select all modules and then click Proceed.  This will create the copy for you.  Keep in mind that there is no undo button, so be very careful!

Use File | Change Company to select the TST company to process your test transactions; be sure to change back to your live company before processing any live transactions.
