Custom Office —
for Sage MAS 90 & Sage MAS 200
To stay competitive, you need your accounting software
and business productivity software to work
together and
offer indispensable functions like graphical reporting,
integration, customization, and
drill-down functionality.
The Custom Office module for Sage MAS 90 and Sage
MAS 200 ERP systems
provides the solution with a suite
of tools composed of Customizer, and the
MS Office Link,
which
integrate with the Microsoft Office suite.
The MS Office Link allows you to easily create letters or
messages to individual customers or vendors.
You can
attach documents (such as scanned-in images) to specific
records in the product’s data files
(for example, a
photograph to an inventory item or an invoice to the
invoice record in Accounts
Payable history). Customizer provides user-defined fields (UDFs) that you can easily implement without
any special programming skills.
Improve productivity throughout your company with an essential suite of business applications—Sage
MAS 90 andSage MAS 200 Custom Office. |
|
Custom Office enables you to make use of the unique business
information in your application data files and greatly simplifies the process of creating custom
communications to customers and vendors.
Connections:
MS Office Link
Since the MS Office Link provides a direct connection between a Sage MAS 90 or 200 task or record
and the desired Microsoft Office application, it is perfect for one-time, one-record integration. You can
launch the MS Office Link from a button on the appropriate screen.
A set of template documents is included for each Sage MAS 90 and Sage MAS 200 module, such as letters in
Word and standard e-mail in Exchange software. The MS Office Link also allows you to access the
template documents specific to the task displayed. For example, in customer maintenance you can
automatically create a welcome letter, credit limit advisory letter, and dunning letter, while in vendor
maintenance you can create a letter requesting a price quotation. Similarly, you’ll have access to add
and view attachments that are specific to the displayed data record. For Accounts Payable
transactions, this might be a scanned-in image of the original invoice; in Inventory Management, it
could be a picture of the item.
Forms
Customizer
With Customizer, you can change the appearance of your Sage MAS 90 or
Sage MAS 200 screens to match the way you prefer to work, helping to increase
productivity by improving data entry speed and accuracy. For example, you
can specify default values to reduce keystrokes (for example, default to your
local area code in the phone number field). By customizing the screen to
ignore unused fields and change tab sequences, you can change the screens
to follow the exact order of the fields on an input form. You can also
change the default field labels; for example, in a medical practice, it may be
more appropriate to use “Patient” than “Customer.”
User-defined fields allow you to add your own data fields to masterfiles,
even if you have no programming skills. These fields can carry over
seamlessly to your reports, orders, and invoices. For example, an extra field
you’ve added for shipping information to your customer masterfile can be
included on sales orders and invoices using the integration of Crystal
Reports® software for printed forms. User-defined fields are also
automatically available for reports created with the Business Insights
Reporter.
Expand the functionality of your system by adding a button to screens that
will launch application tasks or bring up the Microsoft Windows calculator
when you need to add a quick column of figures. You can even create a
button with links to a VB script or J script, which can launch Microsoft
Word, and automatically produce a dunning letter with the customer’s
name and address, or perform any number of tasks. Your custom button
can also play back sound annotations to the screen or display the current
record. |
