Division Parameters

System Maintenance Menu -> Configure System Settings -> System Tab -> Company & Divisions -> Division Parameters

The settings in this utility can be used to define information which is specific to each division or branch of your business.
 Divisions can be setup to be similar or unique according to your business processes.
 If your firm does not use separate divisions, setup this information for a single blank location, HEAD OFFICE.

This utility can be accessed from the "Company & Divisions" parameters on the System tab of the Configure System Settings, but an operator must be assigned a Security Role that allows permission to the System - Division Parameters in order to access this table.
 To navigate through the options click Tab on the keyboard to move to the first enabled option in the next section on the screen.

These are the divisional parameters. The company wide settings can be accessed in Company Parameters.

Note: Because any changes to the Company Parameters and the Division Parameters can require file and process changes in the software, these two utilities cannot be accessed at the same time. A warning that the "Company Information is currently locked" is displayed when one or the other is in use.

The Division Parameters determine issues such as:

•how the contracts and invoices are entered and how the documents print

•whether unprinted invoices should print during the Daily Close

•the standards for rental period and damage waiver for contract entry

•Delivery and Pickup defaults

•which fields are mandatory input on a document

•if expired reservations should be automatically purged

•configuration and activation of processing unique to a Store/Division/Location

The Division Parameters and defaults can be setup as follows:
