Decimal Place Precision For MAS 90 & MAS 200 4.4
September 9, 2010
Is 4 digit decimal precision too small for your company? With the recent decision by Sage to discontinue Extended Solutions your alternatives are to either live with less precision – or review solutions from third party developers (Extended Solutions Preferred Providers).
DSD Business Systems is one such provider. Last night I noticed they’re offering the following Extended Solutions with no additional upgrade fee (beyond regular maintenance):
BM-1005 – Expanded Mask for Quantity/Cost – $960 (subsequent maintenance = $265)
IM-1114 - Expanded Numeric Mask for Price/Cost/Quantity (subsequent maintenance = $265)
IM-1115 – Six Decimal Precision for Inventory (subsequent maintenance = $265)
PO-1085 – Six Decimal Precision for Purchase Order (subsequent maintenance = $265)
WO-1015 – Extended Decimal Precision in Work Order (subsequent maintenance = $265 )
WO-1016 – Six Decimal Precision in Work Order (subsequent maintenance = $ 265)
DSD Business Systems is also offering the same bundled pricing previously offered by Sage on these Decimal Precision Extended Solution Bundles:
DP-1000 – IM-1114, IM-1115, PO-1085 – $ 2,030 (subsequent maintenance = $535)
DP-1001 – BM-1005, BM-1078 – $1,460 (subsequent maintenance – $265)
DP-1002 – WO-1015, WO-1016 – $1,460 (subsequent maintenance – $ 265)
The following parts are listed as obsolete:
BM-1078 – obsolete as of v4.4 since Bill of Materials for MAS 90 and MAS 200 already uses 6 decimals in v4.4
SO-1160 – obsolete after MAS 90 v4.05
