System Settings
The System Settings screen allows you to configure the settings for your server and file retention history.
Navigate to Configuration > Miscellaneous > Other > System Settings.
The System Settings screen has these sections:
General | |
---|---|
Field | Description |
Service Agreement Management Flatrate History Search Entries |
This field determines the number of historical entries that should be used to calculate the average dollars for non-completed jobs in the Service Agreement Management system, based on the job code associated to the service order. Historical entries are defined as the total dollar amount for closed work orders. For example, if 10 is entered in this field the system will look at the dollar amounts used on the last 10 occurrences of a job code to determine the average dollar amount for the selected code. |
Reclass/Matrix Trigger |
Controls how the Matrix field on the Parts Profile and the Reclass field on the Ordering Information tab of the parts profile are updated. If activated, any changes to the Source, Class, Type, or Inventory Class fields in the Parts Profile or in the Price File causes the system to recalculate the Reclass and/or Matrix value, automatically keeping them up to date as changes occur. For this to work, all Part Adds table records must first be set up with the desired CSTI combination for the Reclass and Matrix fields. See Naming a Price Matrix. The options are:
|
Used Evaluation Job Code History Search | Allows you to set up different number of occurrences/Job intervals for used evaluations. Similar to Service Agreement Management Flatrate History Search Entries. |
Do not update G/L in Surplus Returns | Determines the options that appear on the Surplus Returns - Update screen when updating a surplus return. For details, see the Surplus Returns - Updates screen help topic. |
Server Connected To Internet | Determines whether your server is connected to the internet. This field should always be set to Y. |
Change I/O Status to I for DTF Equipment Order | If activated (Y), the In/Out status on the Equipment Profile are updated when JDMINT orders are received from John Deere. |
Use NUMBERS To Assign DTF Equipment Order |
If activated (Y), the following logic applies to Complete Goods Orders and Invoices:
|
Remove Start Digits from Search Key for Parts | If there are prefixes on a vendor's line of parts (such as JD in front of all John Deere parts, where T19044 becomes JDT19044), this setting excludes the prefix from searches. |
Delay Between Statement | Controls whether a delay is added between emails sent during the statement email run and billing runs. The default value is "N", or off. It is recommended to leave this setting off if your system sends out a very large amount of emails (in the thousands). |
IBS Percentage 1 | Used by IBS interface. |
IBS Percentage 2 | Used by IBS interface. |
IP Telephony Address |
The IP address of your VoIP telephone server used in conjunction with feature numbers 6161 (VoIPLink- Cisco), 6167 (VoIPLink- Nortel). If licensed, these ‘Click to Call’ hyperlink functions are activated using the Access Click To Call security switch in security system 995 in IntelliDealer. |
Job Schedule Printer/ User |
Used when generating these reports from a batch job: PAR128Z, PAR128D, PAR128I, PAR128R, PAR128S, PAR132, AMAX reports, XMITDTRN, and SUBOTH.
|
John Deere Main DTF Account |
The dealer number assigned to a branch by Deere and is required to transmit data between Deere and a dealer's system. Note: The dealer number in this field should be entered with 00 in positions 3 and 4. For example, if Deere provides "010641" as the dealer number then the value in this field should be keyed as 01000641. |
Reports | |
---|---|
Field | Description |
Print DOC (Daily Operating and Control) Report |
If activated, the Daily Operating Controls reports (DOC) is printed when a database re-organize is run. The Daily Operating Controls reports include:
|
Print Aged WIP DOC Report (Y/N) |
If activated (Y), prints the Work-In-Process report (DOC003) during the nightly database reorganization. The DOC003 report is an aged summary WIP report for customer work orders only. It lists all open customer work orders and a combined total of parts and labor charged to each work order to date. The DOC003 report is not designed to be a balancing report for WIP. As an alternative, you can create a work in process report from the Work in Process screen in IntelliDealer which contains more details. Note: VitalEdge recommends entering N in this field in favor of creating the work in process report in IntelliDealer. |
Print Return Code Change Report (PAR128R) AND Produce Summary Rpt (PAR128S) During Communications |
This field is for Deere dealers only. When a parts Master Price file update is performed via the Deere poll (#CO12), report PAR128R can be produced. This report shows all parts whose Return Code has changed and lists the branch, the affected part number and the old and new return codes. The first character in this field (Y/N), determines whether to generate the report. The second character in this field (Y/N) determines whether to generate a Summary Report(PAR128S) during the update. If the switch for the summary report is a Y, then the parts file is sorted by class—which is a requirement for the summary report—and the summary report is produced. Note: The RS shown next to this field indicates the report that will be controlled by the corresponding value that is entered. For example, if "NY" is entered, the PAR128R report will not be produced during the update but the PAR128S report will be. |
PAR128I List Price Inc/ Dec Cutoff Percent |
Controls the percent threshold for what will display on the PAR128I report (a detailed report of list price or cost increases that can currently only be produced from within the green screen application when a parts price file is processed, using #PARTPRC.) The same part number may appear on both the increase and decrease report but will only be added to totals once. Parts without an increase or decrease will not appear on the reports. However, the cost and list amounts will be added to the totals to reflect an accurate value of inventory on the summary reports. |
Automatic Stock Order Report to Print | Determines the report that is generated whenever an Automatic Stock Order is generated at your dealership; either the PAR007 report with history (Y), the PAR007 report without history (N), or the PAR190 report (R). |
