User Fields

Record the User's User Fields details in the various available fields and sections, using the information below as guidance:

 

Note: Use your [Tab] key to move from one field to the next. Mandatory Fields (fields which must contain a value before a function can be completed) are shown with a yellow background (as pictured above).

Definition (* = mandatory field)

 

User Fields

 

Company *

Use the menu to specify the company the user is assigned to.

 

Note: These menu options are defined in the CO table file (Company Names). See Table File Maintenance for details.

Terminal No. *

 

Enter the terminal number the user will be assigned to. This will be a number from 1-999.

 

Note: Each user must have a unique terminal number.

Device Type

This field holds the device type the user is assigned to (i.e. the destination for print files). Enter one of the following values as applicable:

 

  • DSK - Disk File (this is the default option)

  • FAX - Fax

  • LOC - Print-Thru

  • LPT - System Printer

  • QTY - Serial Line.

  • BOX - Mailbox.

  • BIN - Trash Can.

Or:

  • A numeric value from 1-999. This value represents a serial line printer and should correspond to the application ID of a printer record. (This is the numeric ID through which the legacy Esprit code identifies printers.)

 

Department *

Use the menu to select the user's Department; e.g. Showroom (1); Sales (2) etc.

 

Note: These menu options are held in the Departments (DEP) table file and defined using Table File Maintenance.

Cost Access

This field gives the user the ability to view and amend Costs.

 

Uncheck this field if not required.

 

Default Branch *

Use the menu to specify the branch the user is assigned to. Documents created by this user will default to the branch selected.

 

Note: These menu options are held in the Branches (B) table file and defined using Branch Maintenance.

Supervisor

Check this field to give the user Supervisor status, providing access to extra features within the application.

 

Leave this field unchecked if not required.

 

Price Band

You may use this field to restrict the Price Bands the user can see.

 

The maximum is 12 - the default setting - meaning the user may view/access all 12 Price Bands. However, you might enter 3, meaning the user may view/access the first 3 Price Bands only.

 

Fixed Device

Check this field to give the user the ability to access/change the default device type when printing reports from Quantum VS (i.e. change the device type from that specified in the Device Type field above).

 

Leave this field unchecked if not required.

 

Other Branch Pick

Check this field to enable the User to Confirm Branch Picking Notes at Head Office.

 

This will enable a Head Office-based User to Confirm Picking for a Sales Order raised by any Branch on which an alternative Despatch Branch was selected at the line entry stage (see Selecting An Alternative Delivery Branch).

 

For example: your Company has a 'Head Office' (Branch 1) and five 'Depot' Branches (Branches 2 - 6). With this option selected, a User at 'Head Office' will be able to Confirm Picking Notes for Sales Orders raised by any Branch, on which any Despatch Branch was selected.

 

If this flag is checked, the user may raise an IBT at the Allocation stage and specify a different issue branch than their own Terminal Branch, before Completing and Printing the IBT Allocation to generate an IBT Picking Note. See Creating And Completing An IBT Allocation. The user will also be able to recall any IBT Request that needs allocating regardless of the IBT Request and Issue Branch - see Retrieving An IBT Allocation.

 

Other Branch Despatch

 

Check this field to enable the User to Confirm Branch Despatch Notes at Head Office.

 

This will enable a Head Office-based User to Confirm Despatch for a Sales Order - or Confirm Collection for a Credit Note - raised by any Branch on which an alternative Despatch Branch was selected at the line entry stage (see Selecting An Alternative Delivery Branch).

 

For example: your Company has a 'Head Office' (Branch 1) and five 'Depot' Branches (Branches 2 - 6). With this option selected, a User at 'Head Office' will be able to (a) Confirm Despatch Notes for Sales Orders - and (b) Confirm Collection Notes for Credit Notes - raised by any Branch, on which any Despatch Branch was selected.

 

If this flag is checked, a user will be able to recall any IBT that needs Despatching regardless of the IBT Request and Issue Branch (see Retrieving The IBT Issue) before Completing and Printing the IBT Issue to generate an IBT Despatch Note.

 

Other Branch Request

 

Check this field to enable the user to Raise IBT Branch Requests at Head Office.

 

If this flag is checked, the user will be able to raise an IBT Request and specify a different request branch than their own Terminal Branch. See Entering IBT Request Header Details.

 

Other Branch Receipt

 

Check this field to enable the user to Confirm IBT Branch Requests at Head Office.

 

If this flag is checked, the user will be able to receive into stock (via a Goods Received Note) any IBT, regardless of the IBT Request Branch. See IBTs: Receiving The Goods.
