 Return
Merchandise Authorization (RMA) module:
- RMA is a new module that allows you to enter, track, and resolve
customer returns. You can receive returned items from a customer
and ship replacement items to the customer through RMA.
- Other features in RMA include the ability to process vendor
returns, create restocking fees, and analyze return trends.
- RMA requires the Sales Order and Inventory Management modules
and can be integrated with the Purchase Order module.
Inventory
Warranty Tracking:
- Warranty tracking is enabled
in Inventory Management Options and allows distributors to
automatically calculate warranty expiration dates based on
selected setup options and customized warranty codes.
- Warranty tracking can be applied
to inventory items, allowing the expiration date to automatically
calculate in Shipping Data Entry or Invoice Data Entry.
- Warranty expiration dates can
be printed on the Sales Order, Invoice, or Packing Slip.
- After invoices are updated, warranty
information is available through Invoice History Inquiry and
appears on reprinted invoices and the Invoice History Report.
- If warranty tracking is used
with the new RMA module, the system warns you about items being
returned past the warranty expiration date.
- Warranties can be extended on
any item.
General
Usability Enhancements for Accounts Receivable:
General usability enhancements for
the Accounts Receivable module include the following features.
- An Aging Report and a Statement
can be printed directly from Customer Maintenance or Customer
Inquiry for the customer selected.
- You can exclude future transactions
by date on the Aged Invoice Report so date-specific Aging Reports
can be printed.
- Previously, information reported
on the Monthly Cash Receipts Report was automatically purged
during Period End Processing. A new check box in Accounts Receivable
Options allows you to maintain this functionality or retain
cash receipts for a longer period of time. You can purge cash
receipts history at a later time from the Period End Processing
window.
- Previously, customer high balances
could only be updated when statements were printed. A new option
in Period End Processing also updates the High Balance field
located in Customer Maintenance during Period End Processing.
Enhanced
Check Printing:
- ANSI compliant check printing is available in the Accounts
Payable and Payroll modules.
- In Accounts Payable Options,
you can enable the default bank code in Manual Check Entry
or Check Printing to be the last bank code that was used.
- In Accounts Payable Options, you can assign a default check
form code to each bank code in Accounts Payable Check Printing.
- You can select a format for posting
comments entered on the Accounts Payable Manual Check Entry
Lines tab to the general ledger.
Credit
Card Features:
- Accounts Receivable stores multiple
credit cards per customer in Customer Maintenance. Each credit
card can have a different billing address so that businesses
can take advantage of AVS (Address Verification Service), which
protects against fraud and may reduce processing charges for
merchants.
- Credit card processing has been
added to Accounts Receivable Cash Receipts Entry. You can process
payments via cash or credit card after invoices have been processed.
You can also report credit card payment information with daily
settlement reports.
- In the Accounts Payable module,
you can designate vendors who represent credit card companies.
This feature helps you reclassify individual expense lines
to alternate vendors for purchase tracking or 1099 purposes.
- Version 5.3.6 of the PCCharge
Payment Server includes an auto-settle utility which allows
a workstation to schedule and initiate end-of-day settlement
for terminal based processors. This new version also allows
you to print PCCharge reports directly from the PCCharge client.
Enhanced
ALE Search Capabilities:
- As an alternative to using commas, you may separate multiple
search words in the Lookup window with a slash, exclamation point,
or a plus sign.
- A Not Equal To search filter has been added to the Lookup window
for greater search flexibility.
- You can search on extended record definitions from all segments
of the data dictionary in MAS 200 for SQL.
General
Ledger Custom Financial Enhancements:
- You can print new pages with or without headings, and print
dollar signs at specified locations throughout a statement using
a custom dollar sign function.
- You can suppress the printing of zero total lines, and reinstate
printing at a specified point.
Crystal
Reports Default Printer Setting for Forms:
- Previously, default printer settings were saved for a form globally,
per company. Printer settings for Crystal Reports are now maintained
by Terminal ID, user code, form code and company code so that frequently
printed forms now default to the printer last used.
Work
Order Cost Enhancements:
- You can backflush labor and overhead costs.
- Improvements have been made to the way costs are
relieved when partial completions are processed using
the Automatic, Backflush, or Manual work order issue
types.
Bar
Code Integration with Shipping Data Entry:
- The Bar Code module can be integrated with Shipping Data
Entry so that unattended imports in MAS 90 can be uploaded
into either Invoice Data Entry or Shipping Data Entry.
- You can enter a Shipper ID on a Scanco handheld
unit, and allow incremental increasing of package
quantity.
Remote
Solutions Enhancements:
- A TimeKeeper setup option provides the ability to modify
billing rates during time entry.
- During TimeKeeper data entry, you can apply multipliers
for double time or overtime and override the billing rate,
reducing the number of edits that need to take place later.
- Management approval can be entered during data entry or
you can edit time entries in the management approval window.
- Transaction history includes billed dollar amounts in addition
to time amounts, complete with drill-down to invoice history.
- A new feature to reduce synching time has been added to
TimeKeeper Remote and Remote Salesperson, allowing a user
to select how much information is updated between MAS 90
and the Palm OS.
- In Remote Salesperson, you can use bar code scanning for
customer and inventory item entry.
Abra
HR Interface:
- The MAS 90 and MAS 200 portion of the Abra HR Interface link
is included on the MAS 90 and MAS 200 product CD-ROM. The Abra
portion of the link continues to reside on the Abra MAS 90
Interface CD-ROM and is required for MAS 90 and MAS 200 compatibility
with the current version of Abra.
