Sage 100 ERP MAS90 MAS200 data can easily be pulled directly into Excel.  Excel can perform this functionality without any third-party add-ins or tools.  Use the Excel built-in data tools to pull live Sage 100 ERP data into a spreadsheet, then analyzed the data and write reports using Excel.

This allows you to use Excel to:
  • Create Pivot Tables of Sage MAS data
  • Quickly Filter and Sort Sage 100 data
  • Easily Analyze data
  • Build Excel Worksheets that reference live Sage 100 ERP data
1. Open a new Excel spreadsheet and go to the Data tab.  Select the From Other Sources dropdown and select From Data Connection Wizard.


2. Select ODBC DSN.


3. Select SOTAMAS90, which is the Sage 100 ERP ODBC driver name.



4. Login to Sage 100 using credentials that have access to the ODBC files you want.


5. Select any Sage 100 datafile name as the database you want.

6. Uncheck "Connect to a specific table:" and click Next.

7. Click Finish

8. The Select Table window should open.  Select the Sage 100 table you want to pull into Excel.

9. At Import Data window, accept the defaults and click 'OK'.


10. Your Sage 100 ERP data for the table you selected will appear inside Excel.

Use the data in the spreadsheet as a source for analysis and reports written on other Excel sheets. 

To refresh the spreadsheet data, click the Refresh button on the Excel Data tab.


Couple tips...  First, in older versions of Sage 100 MAS90 MAS200, the ODBC driver is 32-bit only.  Which means this will only work if you are using a 32-bit version of Excel.  In newer versions of Sage 100, there is a 64-bit ODBC driver that will work with a 64-bit Excel.  Just keep in mind that if you have an older version of MAS, you will need a 32-bit version of Excel. 

Second, using Microsoft Query, you can customize the query that Excel pulls in if you want to link Sage 100 tables together and get more interesting datasets. 

Last, this method is great for bringing transaction history into Excel and then doing pivot tables and other detailed analysis on the data.

Purchase Order Innovation

The importance of purchase orders  is somewhat obvious in today's business. A purchase order is simply an order that is submitted to an outside supplier for an amount of goods specified, for an amount that is agreed upon. But are there any way to improve this system? As stated, the purchase order is a vital part of the business' productivity. It governs how much material the company is taking in for the manufacturing of their product. For example, if we ran an electrical company, we would have to issue purchase orders to other companies for materials that we might need. These materials could range from wiring and electrical cables to switches and lightbulbs. But the acquisition of these items all depends on the purchase order.
