From this screen the following options can be set, all of which will have a global impact, meaning that every user accessing quotes is affected by what is set up here. The purpose of each field is described below.
Field |
Explanation |
||
|---|---|---|---|
Display Serial# when object is in View mode |
This option displays the serial numbers belonging to stock when an object (job, quote, etc.) is in View mode. If double-checks on stock serial numbers play a significant role in the business workflow, this option should be selected. |
||
Capitalise serial |
If ticked, letters which form part of a serial number are automatically entered in upper case. |
||
Unique Serial Tracking |
Depending on the choice here, Jim2 will monitor the input of serial numbers to detect any duplicate entries. Off – No tracking. This means that the same serial number can be used any number of times. Global – Tracking is throughout Jim2. This means the same serial number cannot be used twice anywhere. Stock Level – Tracking is only at stock level. This means the same serial number cannot be used twice on the same stock code, however, it can be used on a different stock code. |
||
Use Stock Attributes |
This turns on/off the option to use Stock Attributes. If ticked, the attributes options will become available. If not ticked, the remaining attributes options will be greyed out.
|
||
Attributes must be entered even if they are not required |
This means that attributes are mandatory in all situations. For instance, if this option is ticked, when adding stock without attributes, it will always be required to stipulate that no attributes are required. |
||
Display Attributes when object is in View mode |
Choose whether a purchase order, stock transfer, etc. is to display the attributes belonging to stock when the object is in View mode.

||
Show Attribute code |
If ticked, when displaying attributes in jobs, purchase orders, etc. this will display the code description of the attribute. |

||
