Sage 100 Scripting Capabilities
Below are just some of the examples of what scripting can do in Sage 100 (formerly MAS 90 and 200). If I can be of any assistance with your scripting need, contact me (707) 425-9923.
Open Related Documents
A button can be placed on a screen (Item Maintenance,
Customer Master, Vendor Master, etc) to recall a related document stored on the
server. There are two options with
naming and storing the related documents.
The first is that the documents can be stored with their names matching
the file (Item Number = ABC, Document Name: ABC.pdf). The second is that an additional text field
can be added next to the button that can store a file name.
Delete Pricing (Customer or Item
Pricing Records)
This script was designed to make changing pricing quicker.
For example you have a customer that has special pricing on
1000 items and you want it to stop. The
script can run through and delete all pricing records associated with that
customer at once.
The script can be used in combination with visual integrator
to make quick modifications to inventory pricing.
Calculate Qty Ordered (Sales
Order and Invoice Detail)
This script is designed to calculate the Sales Order Detail
field “Quantity Ordered" from a combination of stored user defined fields.
"PERBOX", and "BOXES"
The Quantity Per box is stored at the item level, but can also be
changed at the line level. A box
quantity is entered into the BOXES field, the field is then multiplied by the quantity
per box stored. The value is then pushed
into the Quantity Ordered field. (the one that is actually used in Sage.
This similar process can be used to calculate unit price and
many other scenarios depending upon the clients needs in data entry.
Calculate Discount to display on
Line entry and Form Printing
This script designed to calculate the discount based off of
the difference between the line Unit Price and the items Standard Price or
Retail Price. This value is then stored
in a discount field. This discount filed
can also be updated to in turn change the Unit Price field.
Ex. Unit Price = 80, Retail Price = 100, Discount = 20%
The Retail Price can’t be changed but the other two can and
will consequentially update the other.
This information can then be used on the Sales Order or
Invoice forms is desired.
Change Standard Cost Value in
Item Maintenance.
This script uses a user defined field to populate a NEW
Standard Cost record in Standard Cost Adjustment Entry utility in Inventory. A blank field is put on the screen with a
button that when pressed grabs the value in the field and creates a new entry
in Adjustment Entry. This is nice
because typically entries can’t be entered unless all entries are updated. This script allows for entries to be made
that will be sitting out there ready to be updated when possible.
Note: The Adjustment Entry will have to be updated for cost
changes to take place.
Coupon Codes in Order Entry
This script
looks at a user defined field "Coupon Code" on the Sales Order Totals
tab and when the coupon is applied to the order, it pulls coupon information
stored in the maintained user defined table “Coupon_Codes” and calculates the
coupon amounts per line.
It can work
for all different types of coupons;
·
All Customers, All items
·
Specific customers, All items
·
Specific customers, Specific items
·
All customers, Specific items
·
Percentage based or Amount based
·
Track Rental Contracts in Sales Order
Repeating orders
are set up as contracts in the sales order module.
User defined
fields on the lines of the contract reference the serial number of the item
being rented. Rented Serial items are automatically transferred from the stock
warehouse to the rental warehouse by creating Inventory Transfers (though
another script) Once the contract has
expired, the item can then be returned to the stock warehouse, or even to a
holding warehouse for repairs and processing. This is done again with an
automatic inventory transfer.
Reports can
be ran for rental profits by item and by serial number.
Don’t let Price Go Below
This script
was set up so that certain users could not change the items unit price on an
order or an invoice below either a defined amount per item, or a certain
percentage of the retail price. (these fields can be changed to meet the
clients request) If a price was entered
that did not meet the criteria, the price would automatically change back to
the previous price, or to the system price.
Open Google Maps from a specified address in the System
This script simply is a button that launches Google Maps from
a given address so directions can be printed.
Create Production Entry in Bill of Material from
Receipt of Goods
Although this could be done from other modules as well, this
script would automatically create a production entry for a specified bill when
a certain item was received.
