The following is a list of enhancements and corrections that have been incorporated for Sage MAS 90 and MAS 200 version 4.40 in this Product Update. Product Updates are cumulative, containing all program corrections found in prior updates. This product update includes two new features and one extended solution that was announced in our previous post.

New features are:

Enhanced Credit Card Security:

To safeguard credit card information, new user preferences have been added so you can designate users that can print or display fully formatted credit card numbers. The credit card information will be protected for unauthorized users by masking the credit card numbers. Also to enhance your credit card security, the key used to encrypt the credit card information is now stored separately from your company data.

Enhanced Wire Transfers:

You can pay vendors, record, and reverse wire transfers using enhancements in Accounts Payable. The system generates a unique Wire Transfer Number associated with the transaction. You can print the wire transfer information on the Check History and Payment History reports, and they will appear in Vendor Maintenance, Vendor Inquiry, Invoice History Inquiry, and Payment History Inquiry.

To install the Product Update, note the following:

• Install this Product Update from the same computer that was used to install Sage MAS 90 or 200.
• Be sure to apply this Product Update before data conversion.

Note: As mentioned in the Release Notes, this Product Update fixes the issue of General Ledger account balances not being recalculated during conversion from Version 3.71 directly to 4.30. However, if you apply this Product Update after converting from version 3.71, you must manually run the Recalculate Account Balances utility (on the Utilities menu in General Ledger). Converting the data again is not necessary.

• Sage MAS 200: After installing the product update, run WksUpdate.exe from the server's ..\Mas90\Home folder at each workstation on which you would like to update the local help files.

e-Business Manager customers:

Important note: To complete the Product Update installation, you must re-publish Java Scripts and Isapi plug-ins. For more information, see Resolution ID 2554.
