A MAS 90/200 frequently asked question? 

When processing year-end, in which order should the modules be closed? 

Year-end processing is a vitally important step in keeping your data healthy. Many modules maintain buckets of data by year (year-to-date, prior-year, etc.). These data receptacles are reinitialized during year-end processing. Lots of other housekeeping is performed during year-end processing as well. For example, in General Ledger, income and expense account balances are cleared and net profit is posted to the Retained Earnings account.

Year end is a busy time for most businesses, and frequently internal accounting is put on a back burner. Nevertheless, do not neglect this procedure, as its delay can have far-reaching impact on your data. With a little planning, information and a minor time commitment, year-end processing can proceed smoothly.

Closing Order - It's Important!

Modules should be processed or closed in the following order:

Bill of Materials
Work Order
Bar Code
Purchase Order
Sales Order
Inventory
MRP
TimeCard
Magnetic Media
Payroll
Accounts Receivable
Accounts Payable
Job Cost
General Ledger

If you are running modules not on this list, for example e-Business Manager, or a third party product, there may be special considerations involved in year-end closing. Give us a call and we'll advise you on the best procedure for closing your Sage MAS 90 or Sage MAS 200 software.

No matter which solution you choose, Sage MAS 90 Small Business is sure to give you the accounting power and growth capabilities you need to achieve your business goals.

Easy Transition to Sage MAS 90 or 200 as Your Company Grows
Sage MAS 90 Small Business Edition is ideal for small companies that foresee significant growth on the horizon.
