  • A blank entry here indicates that the system-wide code page is being used as the default.

This prevents unauthorized access to the company, ensuring that operators without administrator privileges can't log into SYSPRO.

Administrators are warned if access is attempted. This is useful when you are maintaining a company and want to restrict other operators from capturing data.

This does not affect operators currently accessing the company.

This lets you indicate the reason why operators are prevented from logging into the company.

This is the company's tax registration number that can be printed on delivery notes, invoices, statements and purchase orders.

This company registration number can only be printed on delivery notes, invoices, statements, creditor's remittance advices and purchase order requisitions.

This is the warehouse displayed as the default at most warehouse fields in the system. 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.

This is the default currency in which you want to process transactions within the system. You cannot change this currency once you have added the company.

This is the description for the Local currency code assigned to the company.

This is typically determined by the frequency of a company's financial and management reporting cycles. 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).

This is the company's VAT registration number. This number is issued when a company registers for VAT with the relevant government tax authority in certain countries.

This is an additional unique taxpayer reference number issued by the relevant government tax authority in certain countries.

Although always stored in a CCYYMMDD format, this option enables you to define how you want dates to be displayed and requested within SYSPRO, at company level. 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.

This overrides the date format settings made within the System Setup program.

This is the format in which you want all system dates to be displayed and requested within SYSPRO for this company.

This does not apply to the date stamp format within notepad editors.

This indicates how you want the system to display the long version of the date for this company.

This indicates how you want the system to display the short version of the date for this company.

This format is used when you insert the date stamp during the editing of text notes in SYSPRO, if the Override system date format option is enabled.

This indicates how you want the system to display dates on reports printed within this company.

This displays how the setting for the Long date format will appear in the system.

This displays how the setting for the Short date format will appear in the system.

This displays how the setting for the Report date format format will appear in the system.

This lets you set your nationality code at company level. It overrides the setting made within the System Setup program, unless this conflicts with an existing tax option that has been defined.

This indicates the nationality of your company (e.g. USA - United States of America; GB - Great Britain; AUS - Australia; CAN - Canada; RSA - South Africa). The list of SYSPRO nationality codes is defined in the IMPNAT.IMP file located in the SYSPRO \Base\Store folder. The nationality entered here affects the display of region-specific fields within the system (e.g. tax).

The Email/SMTP settings of the System Setup program are required for the following facilities:

  • Forgot Password
  • Multi-Factor Authentication
  • SSO using Active Directory
  • SYSPRO Supply Chain Portal
  • SYSPRO OData

In a mapped-drive environment you will need to define the network permissions to invoke an executable program over the network. Microsoft Outlook is typically selected if you want to use simple MAPI mail.

This uses Microsoft Outlook (with its rich email client interface) as your preferred method of emailing within SYSPRO.

This uses any COM-aware email subsystem to email in SYSPRO

This uses the system-wide SMTP options configured within the System Setup program, instead of the options configured here.

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

The following facilities rely on the Email/SMTP settings configured in the System Setup program to work:

  • Forgot Password
  • Multi-Factor Authentication
  • SSO using Active Directory
  • SYSPRO Supply Chain Portal
  • SYSPRO OData

This is the default IP address of the specific SMTP server that SYSPRO will use to send messages.

This is the default email address of the sender of the message.

This entry must contain a valid email structure, such as auto.generated.mail@company.com.

This the email account's user name.

This is the email account's password.

This is the server port to be used.

This specifies that communication with the SMTP server requires SSL encryption (i.e. send email via an SSL connection).

Indicate the SYSPRO Supply Chain Portal Website address (e.g. http://localhost/SYSPROSupplyChainPortal_CompanyID).
