Sage 100 ERP (formerly MAS 90): Deferred Printing Function

Question: We own Sage 100 ERP (formerly Sage MAS90), we would like to use the Deferred Printing function, how does this work and what is it’s purpose.

Answer: You can defer the printing of a report in the General Ledger, Library Master, Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, Sales Order, Return Merchandise Authorization, Bank Reconciliation, or Customizer module. This function would normally be used to save time during the day if you have large reports that you needed to print at night or a later date.

Step 1: From the drop down printer selection on a report select deferred as the printer. and then click the Print Button.

Step 2: You will then be able to select the printer, number of copies, purge after printing and if you want to secure the report with a password. Once you click OK, the report will be sent to the Deferred Print.

Step 3: When you are ready to print the Deferred Report, the ICON can be located in the middle of the Task bar. It looks like a printer with a clock on it. Once you click the ICON the listing of reports will come up and you can select the report to print. Additionally you can preview or delete the report for this screen. Click Print when you are ready to print.
