The System Options Detail Screen allows you to define several system-wide options in the system. For instance, you define whether you want your environment to be single or multiple currency.
Once you have set the options for this category, they can NOT be maintained.
CURRENCY ENVIRONMENT CODE
Required. This code indicates whether the system will operate in a single (S) or multiple (M) currency environment
BASE CURRENCY LEVEL
Required. This code indicates the level at which base currency and customer numbers will be defined. Valid values are:
G - Global. Base currency is universally defined across all company/locations (i.e. one base currency for the system).
C - Company. Base currency is the same for all locations within a given company
L - Location. A different base currency may be defined for every location on the system.
The level specified here determines how the base currency must be set up on Reference File category 002, Entity Name. In addition, it determines how customer numbers are defined. If customer numbers are defined by company or company/location (rather than globally), you will need to specify the company or company/location where the customer number is defined on all customer transactions.
ADDRESS FORMAT
Required. This code indicates whether the third address line on screens and reports should be in city, state, zip code format (1) or in free format (2). In both cases the first two address lines are free format.
BOOK CODES USED FLAG
Required. Indicates whether the system will use book codes for accounting purposes. Valid values are:
Y - Yes. Each company/location may specify if standard or custom book codes are used on Reference File category 132 (Location Defaults).
N - Book code fields will not be displayed on screens and reports. Book codes will be formatted by the system (GL - General Ledger, AR - Accounts Receivable, AP - Accounts Payable, and DM - Draft Management), but will be transparent to the user.
USE MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTS
Required. You must specify in this field whether you wish to use management accounts in your financial system. Valid values are:
Y - Use management accounts
N - Do NOT use management accounts.
USE ESL/SSD
Required. You must specify whether you wish to extract VAT information for the European Community Sales List and/or the Supplementary Sales Declaration Report in the financial modules. Valid values are:
Y - Extract ESL and SSD information
N - Do NOT extract ESL and SSD information
USE COST ANALYSIS
Required. You must specify whether you wish to use the Inventory Cost Analysis function. Inventory Cost Analysis extracts cost and quantity information from the IC Audit Trail files and stores this information in the Inventory Cost Analysis File (IC280M). The information in this file can be used in conjunction with custom programs to perform LIFO processing. Valid values are:
Y - Use Inventory Cost Analysis
N - Do NOT use Inventory Cost Analysis
