It includes a hyperlink to the map directions. An additional hyperlink is available (Resolve GeoLocation from address) to resolve addresses using the long or short name.

Specifying a default warehouse is useful if you are only using one warehouse in the system and do not want to have to re-enter the code repeatedly. You can override the default warehouse at operator level. Whenever you add or change the default company warehouse, you need to restart SYSPRO for your changes to become effective.

It also affects the relationship between GL and the sub-ledgers with regard to the posting of the sub-ledger transactions into General Ledger. Once defined, this should not be changed as you may lose historical information (i.e. history buckets for transactions written to the files in the sub modules are not moved, adjusted or corrected when you change the accounting periods per year).

Most provinces charge PST besides GST, but some charge PST on GST. If you are also using Tax by geographic area, then a stock item with a blank tax code is interpreted as being exempt from tax and the tax code assigned to the geographic area when calculating tax for that item on an order is disregarded. Enabling this after defining your product classes requires you to create the _GST product class manually.

Dates in forms are determined by the Date format only (i.e. DDMMYY or YYMMDD). The short/long date format is not applied to any date fields in forms.

The list of SYSPRO nationality codes is defined in the IMPNAT.IMP file located in the SYSPRO Programs folder. The nationality entered here affects the display of region-specific fields within the system (e.g. tax).

If you enable this option, the Email/SMTP details configured here are disabled, but stored in the company record.

This may result in excessive log entries from automated and semi-automated processes. If you disable this option, then log entries are still created for business objects invoked from a regular SYSPRO program database updates or queries.

You typically use this if you generally only post to the current month. If you need to post transactions to a prior month then you will have to reopen the month manually.

You won't be able to view any Inventory multimedia configured in the individual shared companies.

It doesn't rename the multimedia files, it just alters the %key value returned for multimedia.
The key length of the Customer field is 15 characters. If you set the presentation length to 7 characters then the system looks for:
- 0000040.bmp if you have enabled the Presentation length for multimedia %key option option
- 000000000000040.bmp if you have not enabled the Presentation length for multimedia %key option
The key length of the Customer field is 15 characters. The key length of the Invoice field is 15 characters. If you set the presentation length of the Invoice field to 6 characters and the Customer field to 7 characters, then the system looks for:
- 000000000000040000000000000001.bmp regardless of whether the Presentation length for multimedia %key option is enabled.

This is applied to the Tax rate decimals field in the Browse on Tax Codes program. You can still change the number of decimals for individual tax codes, which will override your selection here. Only SRS reports support the use of 5 decimal places. For all documents on which the tax rate is printed, the use of 5 decimal places is supported on Standard, Word and SRS documents.
 Shared companies
Shared companies
                                                                        These options enable you to share inventories and general ledgers across companies.
If both Inventory and General Ledger are shared, then the Inventory Interface setup in the Inventory holding company is used to determine the ledger accounts to which transactions processed in the Inventory Movements program are posted.
If only Inventory is shared, then Inventory transactions update the files of the holding company and the General Ledger side of the transactions are posted to that company's own General Ledger files.
It isn't advisable to share Inventory files across companies that have different base currencies (GAAP assumes that the value of inventory is stated in the local currency of the company).
The value of any purchase or cost of sale costs is processed in the currency of the host company (i.e. transactions in the sharing companies aren't translated into the currency of any shared company).
A mixture of currencies results in inaccurate costs in both the host and sharing companies. However, if no transactions are processed across the companies' warehouses (e.g. you want to share Inventory for query purposes only) then this can be done without compromising the integrity of the General Ledger.

It lets you produce consolidated financial reports for more than one company using the Financial Report Writer (only the Financial Report Writer can access the data of other companies). Ensure that the data paths defined for the sharing companies match those of the holding company and that the company control files are located in the same working folder for all companies sharing the GL database.

It provides you with a consolidated view of the stock holding of all companies if they all sell the same inventory. If MRP is installed, then the Requirements Calculation uses the inventory and bill of materials data from the Inventory 'holding' company, together with the sources of supply and demand from the company running the Requirements Calculation. Each company retains separate Order, MRP and WIP data.

In a client/server environment, it must match the character defined in the Regional Settings of the client machine. Otherwise incorrect values could be saved for transaction entries processed in SYSPRO. Dots are translated to commas if the decimal character is defined as a comma (to accommodate numeric keypads that only have a dot to indicate a decimal point).

It can be a space (e.g. if you want to have 1 000.00) and must be different from the decimal character. In a client/server environment, this character must match the character defined in the Regional Settings on the client machine. Otherwise incorrect values could be saved for transaction entries processed in SYSPRO.

Reports changed to support extended field sizes remain visually unchanged unless the printed values exceed the available print space (in which case the report print line could change to print two lines instead of one). You can override these settings at operator level.

If you enter zero here, then decimals are removed from entry and display/print fields when values are used. The number of decimals to show in values defaults to 2. All values are always held to 2 decimal places, regardless of any setting. This does not affect free-format stationery which assumes a minimum of 2 decimals for any price field and 3 decimals for any Inventory unit cost field.

It does not affect free-format stationary (which assumes a minimum of 2 decimals for any price field and 3 decimals for any inventory unit cost field). The system-wide personalization option: Maximum decimals to show for price/cost controls the number of decimal zeros displayed in price and cost listviews.

It applies to the printing of all Work in Progress operation times (such as run time, teardown time, wait time, etc.) on reports. It defaults to four decimal places, but can be set anywhere from zero to six.
