How often do you refer to copies of your Accounts Payable invoices? If you are like most users, the answer is all the time and each time you need to see a copy of the invoice, you have to go to your paper files.
Now, by using the scripting features available for MAS 90 and MAS 200, a link can be created between your Accounts Payable Invoice Inquiry screen and scanned copies of your invoices. From your desk, just open your inquiry screen, look up the invoice and click to see the invoice.
The scripting features can be creatively used in several different ways, so if you have any questions, just let us know.
Next week we will distribute the latest edition of the *info newsletter. 
Readers of the blog are getting a jump on everyone else with this link.
This issue covers two issues we have been discussing with our customers recently: Paperless Office and the new Sage Communities. Both of these topics are approached from a different perspective as well as the curious ghost asset fixed asset tracking issue.
Sage Software shipped all customers on a current subscription the 4.3 release last week. There has been a lot of talk for a long time about this release such as:
- The inclusion of the most popular Paperless Office enhancements
- Integrating the Fixed Assets module with Accounts Payable and Purchase Order
- The expansion of Business Insights Explorer to include General Ledger, Accounts Payable, Inventory Management and Purchase Order views
However, there is another less talked about (but maybe more anticipated) enhancement included: the simplification of report selection criteria.
No longer are users required to move to a second tab to define the criteria, but better yet is that users now have the option to keep the selection criteria window open after printing or previewing a report. That means you no longer have to navigate through the menus to run multiple iterations of a single report. It has been a long time coming.
Considering that and the fact that we’ve had some time to do our best to break the new release so it doesn’t break at the customer’s site, we’re getting excited about moving ahead with the upgrades. It’s also important to note that Sage has not yet had to release a service update for version 4.3.
Let’s hear what is exciting you about the upgrade to version 4.3 in the comments.
