This screen is used to define default parameters for a user.
DEFAULT COMPANY
Required. Used to define the default company for the user. It cannot be all 9's. The company must exist on Reference File category 002.
DEFAULT WAREHOUSE
Required. Used to define the default warehouse for the user. It cannot be all 9's.
DEFAULT PLANT
Required. Used to define the default plant for the user. Plants are defined on the Warehouse Description File.
DEFAULT LOCATION
Required. Used to define the default General Ledger location for a user. Company/location combinations are defined on Reference File category 002.
DEDICATED ORDER ENTRY
Optional. If this flag is set to 'Y' (yes), it indicates that this user usually works only within the order entry conversation. The Sales Order Entry program (within the Order Processing module) will load various codes and descriptions into arrays in memory at the start of the program. These arrays are accessed instead of going to secondary storage for validation. Setting the flag to Y will require more time to access the sales order entry conversation but less time to validate information entered in that conversation.
If the flag is set to 'N' (no), the arrays will not be loaded. It will take less time to access the sales order entry conversation, but more time to validate data entered in that conversation.
MANUFACTURING/DISTRIBUTION
Required. Enter a 'Y' in this field if this user primarily uses manufacturing/distribution modules. Enter a 'N' if they use primarily financial modules. Enter a 'B' if they use both equally. If you enter 'Y' or 'B', the following files will be loaded at signon time with the SHARE(*YES) option to save processing time when loading programs.

BLANK PLANT FOR PART VV
Optional. This flag applies to companies operating in a distribution environment and to conversations in which the Part Number field is promptable and the Valid Values program that is called displays a window in which part information is specific to one plant.
If the above scenario applies and you enter a ‘Y’ (yes) in this field, when you prompt on the Part field the Valid Values program will retrieve only parts that are not associated with a plant.
If the above scenario applies and you enter a ‘N’ in this field, when you prompt on the Part field, the Valid Values program will retrieve only parts that are associated with the default plant that was defined in the Default Plant field above.
This flag does not apply to conversations that when the Part Number field is prompted call the Valid Values program to show all parts associated with all plants.
