Allows the user to initiate customised parameters. Some of the parameters can be altered to suit individual requirements or preferences. They are listed in Step 2.

1. Click on and the following pop up will appear. The first four parameters must not be altered by the user.

CrdCard Fee: Determines the fee you are going to charge for credit card payments.

DelLblCol: The value True will print retail prices and return dates for the publications on the subagents delivery docket. The False value will not print that information on the docket.

Holiday Invoice: An invoice will not be produced when a customer is away on holidays if a “Z” stop code is selected. You will see how to stop customers in a later chapter. When they return and restart, the program will produce an invoice at the next run. This parameter allows you to set the number of days an invoice will be printed automatically whether it is a holiday stop or not.

InvCcText: True if you have customers paying by Credit Card. False otherwise. Selecting true enables a credit card payment message to print on your home delivery invoices.

InvMinAmt: Determines the minimum balance at which you want an invoice produced. An invoice will not be produced for a customer whose balance is below this amount. A customer in credit will also not have an invoice produced.

InvPrinter: A database of printer drivers will be developed which will allow a choice of various printers to match customer invoice layouts.

InvSrtStp: True if you want Start/Stop dates to print on the home delivery invoice. False if not required.

MailingFee: Charge levied on customers to reimburse mailing costs. Leave blank if no fee is charged. The fee is generated by selecting “M” in the customers invoice delivery method.

OverDue Fee: Customers can be charged a fee for balances outstanding longer than 90 days. It can be a set amount or a percentage of the balance. Leave blank if no fee is to be charged.

PayBPay to PayTotCash: These are the default characters used in the customer payments function. When entering a customer payment for the first time the payment description, for example, Chq must be entered. The text “Chq” for example will generate the respective reports required. Rather than select cash you can leave that description blank and it will default to “Cash”. Each description input the first time will automatically capture for subsequent payments.

WaDelivFee: The value entered here maintains the WAN 6 day delivery fee applicable to home delivery customers
