Core Accounting - Sage MAS 90 and 200
At the heart of every Sage MAS 90 and 200 system are five core accounting modules:
- General Ledger
- Accounts Receivable
- Accounts Payable
- Bank Reconciliation
- Sage FAS Fixed Assets
No other accounting software combines the depth, functionality and ease of use to the degree of the Sage MAS 90 and 200 family of products. Used by themselves, these five modules provide accounting foundation for your business that will maximize your productivity. When seamlessly integrated with any of the solutions below. Sage MAS 90 and 200 become even more powerful - providing solutions for nearly any business management need.
The heart of any accounting system, either manual or computerized, is the General Ledger system. In simple terms, it is the central location in which all bookkeeping and accounting transactions are received (posted), summarized (totaled by account) and processed (adjusted and balanced), resulting in informative financial statements. It is the financial statements, supporting schedules and associated reports generated by a General Ledger system that are critical for timely decision making; therefore, it is imperative that a General Ledger system be powerful, flexible and informative to management, yet still be easy to use and operate.
We have designed our system to allow you to continue to use your current Chart of Accounts without any need to adapt it to the computer. It is likely you can maintain the same account title and numbering scheme you have been accustomed to since the day you started your business. The General Ledger module provides for extensive history and budget information. You can retain up to 99 years of transaction history and/or period-summary history and three separate budget categories (current budget, revised budget and a user-defined budget).
Virtually unlimited financial reporting capabilities are provided. The General Ledger system simplifies divisional/departmental reporting and consolidated income statement printing within a standard, predefined set of financial statements and report formats. Because many companies require the capability to design their own financial reports above and beyond those automatically generated by the system, we have created a powerful, easy-to-use custom financial reporting capability.
You can use the General Ledger Data Exchange feature to import and/or export the Chart of Accounts, budgets and transaction data directly from or to an external file. This feature even allows you to transfer General Ledger postings from one company location to another, or use a spreadsheet product to work on a budget.

| Allocation Entries | You can use allocation entries to automatically post an amount from a single source account to multiple destination accounts. The amount to be posted to each of the destination accounts can be calculated based on a percentage allocation or on a quantity such as head count or square footage. |

You may include various combinations of actual, budget, budget variance and prior-year information on the standard income statements for the period-to-date and year-to-date. |
| Custom Financial Statements | Virtually unlimited reporting capabilities allow you to meet your exact reporting requirements. Up to 999 custom financial reports may be defined. You may select the type of data to be printed for each column.
