Sage MAS 500 Office Update
From the initial release in 1996, Sage MAS 500 has consistently been lauded as a leader in
providing a robust integration with desktop productivity tools including Microsoft Office. Sage MAS
500 Office is one of many entry points provided within Sage MAS 500 that allows users to publish
entity and transaction information directly with Microsoft Word and Excel. In addition, a strong
attachment capability provided a method for assigning customer and supplier correspondence,
internal instructions and other various documents associated with the given task.
Sage MAS 500 version 7.2 includes a significant update within Sage MAS 500 office by providing a
richer user experience when developing Office templates, as well as re-aligning the document
attachment capability within a much improved memo management facility. New and existing users
will benefit immediately from the ease of use features. Moreover, a dedicated tutorial included with
the 7.2 release will highlight the key capabilities included with memo management and creating
office templates.
Memo Management Enhancements
The Memo management option currently available in a small subset of tasks, such as customer
and vendor maintenance, has been added to all tasks that previously contained the Sage MAS
500 Office toolbar option. Each memo created will be automatically assigned to the given task such
as the voucher, customer or invoice. A new attachment feature within the memo manager window
will allow users to attach documents within a predefined network share or local drive. The memo
manager icon on the toolbar will automatically change in appearance if a memo has been assigned
making it easier for the user to identify.
