Use the Print Thru Plug-in

If enabled, calls are made to the PRINT THRU Plug-in (CTHRU or Systems Functions). This Plug-in will control the PRINT THRU functionality on behalf of the application.

If disabled, PRINT THRU functionality is controlled within the application itself by the use of printer escape characters that are sent directly to the printer.

Options: This option MUST be enabled if you are using the Systems Functions Plug-in.

If active, customer and product pop-ups are included in the head office to branch comms processing.

BCT Nominal Update: File Rename

Upon successful completion of the posting of either F6OF24 or F6OF25 the file is renamed to FO2[4/5]ccmmddhhmm where cc = company number, mm = month, dd = day, hh = hour and mm = minute. The BCT6OF46.she shell script is required.

017

Audit Ref Maintenance: Delete Option

Access to the delete option is restricted. If this enhancement is active access to the delete option is achieved by running the routine from the menus with a toggle of "DEL".

018

BCT Nominal Update: Valid Interface File

The interface file is validated for proofing and for invalid nominal codes and if any invalid data is identified an audit is produced and the update stage is not performed.

019

Nominal Blending: Ignore Branch

The branch is blended into the nominal codes for stock, directs, buying differences and carriages/extras and is ignored on the rest.

020

Declaratives: Call BCTCHECK.she

The shell script BCTCHECK.she is invoked when file access errors are recorded (BCT product code 6OF20). The script will be configured (on a site by site basis) to capture various system parameters.

Comms: Transmit Purchase Order Details to Branch

If entering a branch purchase order at head office the purchase order details are transmitted to branch via comms.

024

Blend Super Product Group Into Nominal Code

The Super Product Group is blended into nominal codes by using the first two digits of the product group to read the Major Product Group "MAJP" table file entry. The 30th character of the corresponding table description is the super group and this is then blended into the nominal code.

025

Use Email Instead of Fax if Available

Facilitate the sending of documentation using Fax/Email via VSI-FAX.

026

Client Server: Timber Importer Filters

Site (245) specific filters for client server routines.

027

Client Server: Maximum Number of Reads

Site (245) specific enhancement to client server routines to determine the maximum number of reads the server routines attempt before control returns to the client.

028

Purchase Ordering: Quantum Interface

The 'Update Creditors' routine (BCT8PO61) has changed so the nominal interface file records (F6OF24) are created in a sequence appropriate for importing into Quantum. Creditors Control is written first, followed by the VAT, followed by individual goods analysis lines. The purchase order number is also written to the nominal interface.

The 'Debit Note Maintenance' routine (BCT8PO41) has also changed so that the purchase order number, account code and debit note are written to the nominal interface file.

The 'Nominal Code Maintenance' routine (BCT6OF27) has been changed to enable the analysis of nominal codes by Account, Branch or Product Group when posting documents out of Esprit into Quantum.

029

Reduced Nominal Audit

Reduced nominal audit produced by the Update Creditors routine (BCT8PO61).

030

Extra User Controls

Extra flags which can be set for each user to determine whether that user has permissions to access certain features. Prior to enabling this option remove the existing F6OF39nn and F6OF39nn.idx files, switch on this option then run BCT6OF69. This will set all new user control options onto the F8PB39nn file. It will also set up permissions entries for all users to use these new options. If BCT6OF69 is run prior to enabling this option it will remove all entries on F6OF39nn file.

031

Extra User Controls: Enhanced Error Window

If option 6OF(30) is active, this enhancement displays a more detailed error window showing the Module, Component and Feature to which the user is being denied access.

032

Quantum Interface: PIR Expenses - Ledger Analysis

If this option is active along with 'On-Line' updates to Quantum Financials it is possible to select accounts from within Quantum for given Quantum Ledgers (that have been assigned to Nominal Codes within Esprit) when posting Expense Invoices in PIR. This allows for more detailed analysis within Nominals Codes in Quantum. It is also possible to enter narrative against each code.

033

Selling: Quantum Interface

This option should be activated when replacing the Esprit Sales Ledger module with Quantum Financials.

On-Line updates to Quantum are performed by Sales Order Processing when: - Taking deposits against Cash Sales. - Completing cash sales - Completed cash sales update to Quantum immediately. - Invoicing - A complete set of transactions per 'Account' invoice/credit note generated.

Esprit SOP will extract customer balances from Quantum for credit checking.

034

Quantum GUI

This option must be enabled when the Quantum GUI is installed and being used. This option prevents the use of certain standard Esprit routines that may otherwise cause conflicts and/or performance issues with the Quantum GUI.

For example, the standard Esprit maintenance routines are not allowed to be invoked when the Quantum GUI is installed and being used. This is because the standard Esprit Maintenance routines employ physical record locking that potentially will cause unwanted time-out issues within the Quantum GUI.

035

Postcode Address File (PAF) Interface

Enable Postcode and Address searching and data population using the Royal Mail's Postcode Address File (PAF).

This feature will only function within a Unixware or Linux operating system environment.

036

Selling: Reduced Nominal Audit

Reduced nominal audit produced by the Invoicing routine (BCT8PBG7).

037

Nominal Blending: Ignore Branch

The branch is NOT blended into nominal codes that are NOT used by the Purchasing Nominal Control record.

038

Quantum Interface: Auto Update ProdGroups Ledger

Items added to the Product Group (OF17-TYPE = "P") table file will be automatically added to the ProdGroups ledger within Quantum VS Financials.

039

Nominal Control: Specify Blending for All Elements

Instead of elements [6 and 7] on the Sales Control record inheriting the blending flag set against element [5] and elements [9 through 11] inheriting the blending flag set against element [8] access will be given to each blending flag.

040

GUI Logging: Invoke the Logging of Handler Actions

This option switches on the logging of GUI handler actions and the logging of locks already being in place when attempting to read locked files.

041

Enquiries: Quantum Financials's Period Literals

The corresponding Quantum Financials 'Period Names' are displayed in Enquiries against Aged Balances instead of the Aged Balance names. e.g: 'YYYY.PP' where 'YYYY' is the Year Number and 'PP' is the Period Number.

If Product Option 6SL011 is also active, this option will override 6SL011.

042

KTP Interface

When goods are received into Stock either as a result of a Purchase Order or an Inter Branch Transfer, Quantum VS will pass the stock details to the KTP System.

When Sales Orders are created in Quantum VS or goods are issued as a result of an Inter Branch Transfer, the stock details will also be passed to the KTP System.

When a stock count list is generated in Quantum VS, the stock details of each item on the list will be passed to the KTP System. The stock will be counted within the KTP System before being re-imported back into Quantum VS.

043

Financials Interface: Disable Settlement Refresh

When active, this option disables the call to the Quantum Financials Interface which refreshes the Settlement Terms on the Customer record (F6SL02) from the Terms stored on the Debtor Account in Financials. This option should only be activated when the link to the Financials Interface is unavailable.

044

Financials Interface: Refresh Account Balances

Having run a Sales Invoice Update, when this option is active, a call to the Quantum Financials Interface will be invoked to refresh the Aged Balances on the Customer record (F6SL02) from the Balances held against the Debtor Account in Financials.

045

PCI Interface

Amendments to Customer and Supplier account are reflected between Quantum VS and the PCI application (via a Web Service).
Customer Outstanding Order values are retrieved from the PCI application via another Web Service when performing Credit Checks.

046

TAPI Interface
