Parameters - Prefixes

Menu Selection: Document - Parameters - Prefixes

Purpose

This document allows the user to enter in supplier prefixes in to the system, for use with the B.RMS stock import process.

Prerequisites

There are no prerequisites to setting up supplier prefixes.

Context

You need to enter in supplier prefixes in to LILAC if you wish to use the B.RMS import process on a daily basis. This is designed for Betta Electrical stores, so that they can use the B.RMS inventory system to maintain their stock levels, and use LILAC for account purposes. 

The import process isn't documented in this online help.

The Betta Stores feature in the company data needs to be set to 'Y'.

The B.RMS system exports a file at the end of each day, (the user must run a end of day process). This file is a CSV file which LILAC uses to extract information from. This information is then display in the Stock - Account document if Betta Stores feature in the company data is set to 'Y'.

The import process will create any necessary Product Master Records, with the product code being the Prefix concatenated with the model code. The Prefix is established in this document, and the model code is established by Betta Stores, and is available through the B.RMS software.

If a supplier code isn't established in this document, and yet is available in the B.RMS software, it will not be imported in LILAC.
