Why Convert Sage MAS 90 to QuickBooks?

Converting your accounting system is not the easiest do-it-yourself project that businesses take on. DL & Associates have trusted engineers and programmers who have over 15+ years of Sage software experience and data analysis, plus over 25+ years of QuickBooks experience. With this experience, when we import your data into QuickBooks, it is set up properly from the start. An implementation from one software to another will never be an overnight task. There are many factors that need to be taken into consideration: Customer List, Vendor List, Inventory List, Costs, Average costs, Chart of Accounts, Accounts Receivable – the list goes on. It is important to have a trusted team assist your business with converting your financial data from an ERP system (such as when you decide to convert Sage Mas 90 to QuickBooks Enterprise).

MAS 90 vs QuickBooks Enterprise Chart of Accounts

MAS 90 supports a 12-segment, 32-character chart of accounts structure. This software also supports user-defined fields at a transaction level. This is what increases the reporting capabilities and departmentalized balance sheets. QuickBooks Enterprise does not support the same segmented chart of accounts structure. QuickBooks Enterprise supports five levels of classes that are user-defined, and are available in the transaction level. This is important when migrating over since these classes give users the ability to segment their businesses, for revenues and expenses.

Financial Reporting Tools in MAS 90 and QuickBooks Enterprise

Of course, as accounting software, both products support a financial reporting tool. MAS 90 uses a FRx Desktop reporting tool. This give MAS 90 the ability to consolidate through multiple companies, while QuickBooks Enterprise was built to consolidate through an excel. Crystal reports could be used to produce financial statements, but this requirement takes a great deal of time. QuickBooks Enterprise is very easy to use, and does not carry the complexity of the Frx Desktop. So when you convert Sage MAS 90 to QuickBooks Enterprise, a custom program needs to be created for a secure data migration. Also, reports need to be ran from MAS 90 before the data migration.

MAS 90 and QuickBooks Enterprise User-Defined Fields

Both MAS 90 and QuickBooks Enterprise support user-defined fields such as customers, vendors, items, etc. QuickBooks Enterprise supports 15 number of fields. In MAS 90, once exported, it is table driven. QuickBooks Enterprise does not have the same structure. They are simple text boxes, therefore there is no logical error checking if not done by a service (Sage or a QuickBooks Enterprise engineer). MAS 90 and QuickBooks Enterprise have two different ways of supporting user-defined fields at the transaction level, which further extends the data analysis while migrating.
