Sage 100 ERP (MAS 90 and MAS 200) – Order of Closing

Every month end and year end, people often asking me what are the procedures to close their books. This chart provides an outline of the processing order for MAS 90 applications during Month and Year End. The order logic assures an application that writes to another application is processed first.

FOR EXAMPLE:
Sales Order Processing, which can post to I/M, A/R and G/L should be fully processed and closed before I/M, A/R or G/L.
Some applications can send information, in addition to receiving information from another application.

FOR EXAMPLE:
J/C can post invoices to A/R; A/R can post invoices to J/C. Therefore, both J/C and A/R should be processed prior to closing either application.

The first step to take in processing Year End is to make a backup of your company data. Year end in MAS 90 can only be “reversed” by restoring from a backup.
