MAS 90 and MAS 200 version 4.4 product update arrives

Only another month before the next MAS 90 and MAS 200 version 4.4 product update arrives.

Product Update 2 is slated for release sometime in the second half of July. New features include:

Automatic Bank Reconciliation from financial information downloaded from your bank.
Bank Reconciliation added security - restrict who can make changes to the Current Balance field.
Bank Reconciliation - Enter checks, deposits and adjustments on the fly.
Positive Pay Export - Deter fraud by providing your bank with a list of checks that have been written on your account. This enhancement greatly improves on the old Sage Positive Pay because you now can design your own custom layouts.
Expanded comment field in Bank Reconciliation -  You can now use up to 2048 characters to track information related to why an adjustment was made.
ACH for Accounts Payable - Create a standard file that you can transmit to your bank which holds your payment data. Also an EXCELLENT solution if you have many remote employees who you distribute expense checks to via Accounts Payable. Definitely worth a look.
Once you're using ACH for Accounts Payable you'll want to add in Paperless Office stubs, checks and extended stubs so that your check process is totally paperless!
Product Update Pre-Installation Scan - This will be a new addition to your family of MAS software utilities and can detect potential data issues prior to updating to new release levels.

Expect to see Sage Product Update 2 (available at level 4.4) sometime toward the end of July 2010. A full PDF of these features is available is available if you contact us and ask for it.

If you're still using an older version of MAS 90 or MAS 200 -- especially if it's below 4.3 -- I think it's time you consider upgrading (providing of course that you are on maintenance).
