Starting with version 4.10, the Business Framework changed the AR and SO table structure to eliminate those bucket fields. For AR and SO, delaying Month End Processing no longer corrupts the Period-To-Date and Prior Period fields.
In addition, invoice aging calculations are performed on-the-fly and displayed in Customer Maintenance and Customer Inquiry.

Add your commentMAS 90 and MAS 200 upgrades now support parallel migrations. This means you won't have to install data over the top of an existing (often live) system making the conversion and testing process much easier.
When you use a parallel conversion you'll load the new version of MAS 90 or MAS 200 alongside the old version. Then data will be drawn into the new, converted and available for testing. The entire time you are testing in the new company others can continue working in your older MAS version.
This process makes upgrades much safer and easier because you're not going over an existing set of data.
