A year end process in one module often writes data to another module. Therefore, the sequence in which you close your Sage ERP MAS 90 or MAS 200 modules is extremely important in order to avoid the risk of damaging your data.

Important: Remember to back up your data before starting any module closing procedures. The only way to “reverse” year-end processing in Sage ERP MAS 90 or MAS 200 is to restore your data from a backup.

1. Bill of Materials*
2. Work Order Processing*
3.Bar Code
4. Purchase Order Processing
5. Sales Order Processing
6. Inventory Management

8. Timecard
9. Electronic Reporting/Magnetic Data*
10. Payroll (Quarter-end Processing)
11. Accounts Receivable
12. Accounts Payable
13. Job Cost
14. General Ledger

*Note: While there is no formal closing procedure in the Bill of Materials, Work Order, MRP, and Electronic Reporting modules, all transactions should be posted before closing the modules that follow (i.e. Distribution Modules and Payroll)

Keep in mind this is just a general guideline. If you own modules that aren’t listed above or have installed any third party add-on products or Sage Extended Solutions, please contact us to discuss specific closing procedures for your company.
