ZED Quickbooks Export
We have updated MASC to work with the export utility for Quickbooks from ZED.

Vat Rate Change
If you are selling goods at 21% you will need to make the following changes to charge vat at 23% from 1st of January.
Please follow these steps to update your system for Vat at 23%.
This update is intended for customers using Sage. This should be updated after your last sync for the current week. As you will not want to send the new code down until after the 1st January.
Once you start making the changes to products and the price matrix these changes will be loaded to the handheld the next time you sync , so the timing is important as you don’t want these new changes downloaded until the Monday sales cycle.
For Intact Customers please ensure you have run the utility from Intact to update your vat settings
1. Ensure you have a valid nominal code in MASC for vat. This code is used for analysis and is not used to update Sage or any other packages. – Click here for a demonstration
2. Add a new code to MASC for the vat code, please ensure you have the same code available in Sage and have updated the rate. Click here for a demonstration
3. Change the Vat rate on the Products table – Click here for a demonstration
4. Change the vat code in the price matrix – Click here for a demonstration , ensure you select the correct vat rate
5. You will also need to change your vat analysis codes for your EDI, When you have sent your last EDI files for December please change the vat setting. Click System, Program Preferences and select the Vat tab – change the “21 Vat ” code to be the correct vat code.
If you have a large number of products we can connect to your PC and change you vat codes, before you call please have step 1 and 2 completed and advise us what the old code and the new code should be.
If you have priced dockets you will need a handheld upgrade to ensure the vat analysis is correct on a priced docket.
If you have any question please call our office 051 391338
Missed Sales Opportunities
After getting your products listed in the multiples you need to ensure that the products are appearing on the shelves.
Our latest addition to MASC allows your sales staff to scan your product which are on sale in the store and a list will be displayed of listed products which are not stocked.
You can then use this information to increase your sales to the store or discuss with your area manager.
The data is returned by GPRS to your office and consolidated to allow you to create a regional or nation picture to develop your sales strategy.
