Sage MAS 90 and 200 – Closing Order

Friday, December 11, 2009 by admin

What is the recommended order of closing modules?

For the year-end processing order of closing modules, see Sage MAS 90 and 200 Order of Closing Chart

Note:  Always be sure to make a full backup before performing period or year end processing. Year end processing can only be reversed by restoring a backup.

The attached chart provides an outline of the processing order for Sage MAS 90 applications during Year End.

• The order logic assures an application that writes to another application is processed first.
  For example:
  Sales Order Processing transfers information to Inventory Management, Accounts Receivable and General Ledger; therefore, all journals and registers for Sales Order Processing should be updated and Period End Processing completed before the other modules are closed.
• Some applications transfer information to other applications, in addition to receiving information from another application.
  For example:
  Job Cost can post invoices to Accounts Receivable. Accounts Receivable can post invoices to Job Cost. Therefore, all journals and registers for both Job Cost and Accounts Receivable should be updated prior to running Period End Processing for either application.
