Sage 200 / MMS - Features and Benefits

Sage 200 / MMS is flexible throughout.  From the main screen of the product - which be configured to show the information most pertinent to each user - to the many configuration options available within each area of the system, Sage 200 / MMS is designed to work the way you do.

Batch entry facilities in Sage 200 / MMS give you the ability to enter large volumes of transactions and choose when to commit them to the ledgers.  Additionally, colour-coded alerts let you know if there’s a potential problem – but without stopping your workflow.

Sage 200 / MMS is extremely scalable thanks to its SQL relational database, and able to support many concurrent users - typically up to 50.

You can trade with customers and suppliers outside of the UK and in any mixture of currencies.  For example, you can produce foreign currency invoices, statements, receipts and payments and you can maintain currency-specific product pricing and discounts.  You can specify spot and/or period rates of exchange for each currency, and all changes are recorded along with who made them.  All transactions are recorded in base currency with the exchange rate used, so you can closely track the effects of currency fluctuations over time.

Information is presented graphically throughout the system, to give you quick answers to your questions.  A wide range of management reports is available, and the report designer (with which Sage Line 50 customers will already be familiar) allows you to tailor these reports, or create your own.  You can also 'pull' information from Sage 200 / MMS directly into Microsoft Excel for instant analysis.

The Sage Document Manager module allows for the intelligent, automatic distribution of all system documents such as invoices, remittances and statements via email, printing and fax. All documents are available for easy retrieval, and print and distribution costs are removed.  By using the Sage Document Manager module you can achieve an outstanding return on investment.
