Operating Options Window - Part One

 

This window appears when you select Operating Options from the Administration Parameters menu

Purpose

This window enables you to specify the number of financial periods in a year, whether you intend to set up more than one company, and whether company codes are to be numeric.

The prompts are:

Default financial periods

Enter the number of financial periods you have in a year. This should be either 12 or 13. This determines the number of periods that will be set up next time you create a calendar for a financial year.

Multi-company

(Y/N.) Enter Y if you intend to set up more than one company. Then whenever you enter a Global 3000 module, a window appears enabling you to select the company whose data you want to work on. You can easily change to another company when necessary.

 

Enter N if you intend to set up only one company.

 

You can change this parameter from N to Y to make a single company system multi-company. You then need to set up the new company details in Company Parameters.

Warning

You should not change this parameter from Y to N after your system is operational.

Right justify company-id

(Y/N.) Enter Y if you are using numeric company codes. Otherwise enter N.

Warning

You should not change this parameter after it is set up.

Further information

For further information on right justification, see the Numeric Codes paragraph in System Parameters.
