This variable controls how AIMsi checks for duplicates as new customers are added.

'Value' should be left blank to not perform a check for duplicates.

'Value' should be set to 1 to check by customer ID (first four letters of the customer last name plus first six letters of address).  'Value' should be set to 2 to check by customer home phone.  'Value' should be set to 3 to check by email.  You may choose to check for duplicate customers using 2 or 3 of the criteria.  Combine multiple values with the pipe symbol.  The default is set to check for duplicates by checking each of the 3 criteria so the 'Value' is 1|2|3. 

Hint:  The pipe is on the same key as backslash (Shift + Backslash).

If you would like certain ledger numbers to post together in ledger when making your deposit in "Daily Deposit", 'Value' should contain the ledger numbers to combine separated by a comma.  If you have multiple groupings of ledger numbers to post together, separate the groupings with the pipe symbol.  For example, if you want to post together the Cash Clearing (109-1) and Check Clearing (109-2) and then separately post the Visa/MC Clearing (109-3), Discover Clearing (109-4) and American Express Clearing (109-5) together, 'Value' would contain 109-1, 109-2|109-3, 109-4, 109-5.  If you only wanted to post together in the daily deposit the cash clearing and check clearing accounts, 'Value' would contain 109-1, 109-2.  This means that cash and checks would be posted together but each of the credit cards will be posted in ledger separately.  Note:  This variable pertains to how the entries are posted to ledger.  The "Daily Deposit" program will always list each of the payment clearing accounts separately.

Tri-Tech recommends that each of the payment clearing accounts be posted separately in "Daily Deposit" in order to make it easier for you to balance your bank statement each month.  In this case, 'Value' would be blank.

This variable will give a warning if a date entered is unreasonable.  'Value' should contain the number of months plus or minus the current date to be checked.  For example, if 'Value' contains 12 and an employee enters a date that is 12 months after or 12 months prior to the current date a warning will appear on screen.  

'Value' should contain a 0 if you do not want the date check to be performed.

'Value' should contain a 1 if you would like "Display Inventory" to default to Serialized and Accessory inventory.

'Value' should contain a 2 if you would like "Display Inventory" to default to Titles/Catalog inventory.

'Value' should contain a 1 if you would like the quantity of each item being sold in POS to default to 1.  The quantity can be changed when necessary.

'Value' should be blank if you would like the quantity of each item being sold in POS to default to 0.  The quantity must then be input on each item being sold.

'Value' should contain a 1 if you would like the quantity of each item being transferred in "Store to Store Transfer" to default to 1.  The quantity can be changed when necessary.

'Value' should be blank if you would like the quantity of each item being transferred in "Store to Store Transfer" to default to 0.  The quantity must then be input on each item being transferred.

This variable applies only to those businesses that are open past 12:00 am (midnight), and should be left blank if not applicable to you.

Enter the default begin and end times for your business' hours in military format with no punctuations for reporting purposes.  This is so AIMsi won't assume your business day is from 12:00 am to 11:59 pm and will gather the data for reports accordingly.   The begin and end times should be separated by the pipe symbol.  For example, if your business is open from 8:00 am to 2:00 am the following day, 'Value' would appear as 800|200. 

Hint:  The pipe is on the same key as backslash (Shift + Backslash).

This variable pertains to the Service module and may be ignored if you are not using this portion of AIMsi.

'Value' should contain the service status code new Service tickets should default to.  For example, if you would like new service tickets to default to Work Order, 'Value' might appear as WO.  The service codes may be set up and viewed in "Service Status Codes" on the Service Maintenance menu. 

This variable pertains to the Purchase Order module and may be ignored if you are not using this portion of AIMsi.

If you would like the "Enter Order" programs to default to a certain method of shipping, 'Value' should contain the shipping code to use as the default.  The shipping codes can be changed as needed when entering orders.  The shipping codes may be set up and viewed in "Shipping Codes" on the Order Maintenance menu.

'Value' should contain a 1 if Delayed Deliveries are to be considered sales at the time the delayed delivery is entered.

'Value' should contain a 2 if Delayed Deliveries are not to be considered sales until the time the merchandise is delivered.

Note: Delayed Deliveries are those transactions in which the customer purchases an item that will be delivered or picked up at a later date.  Generally, you do not know the serial number until the item is delivered. 

Note: The 'Value' of this variable should not be modified if you have pending delayed deliveries.

If 'Value' is left blank, the sales person must enter the date of delivery when the Delayed Delivery is entered in POS.  If you would prefer text to print on the invoice as opposed to an actual date, type the text in the 'Value' box.  For example, you might want wording such as this to print:  "Item(s) will be delivered within 7-10 days.  We will call you to schedule a time.". 

This variable controls how trade-ins are posted in delayed deliveries. This only applies if your delayed deliveries are setup to be sales at the time of delivery (the DelayedSale system variable would be set to 2) .

'Value' should be set to 0 to post the trade-in to ledger at the time of entering the delayed delivery. 'Value' should be set to 1 to post at the time of delivery.

'Value' should be set to Y if you would like item pricing to print on delayed delivery tickets.  'Value' should be set to N if you do not want the item pricing to print.

This variable pertains to the Receipt Description override feature in "Maintain Inventory Categories" and "Maintain Sub Categories".  By default, only the description of the item will print on receipts; however, in "Maintain Inventory Categories" and "Maintain Sub Categories" you have the ability to establish other fields to appear as the Description on sales receipts.  The 'DescDelimiter' variable will let you add a character to print between the various fields.   

The first position of 'Value' pertains to Serialized and Accessory inventory and the second position pertains to Titles inventory.   Separate the positions with the pipe symbol, and enclose the values with quotation marks. 

Example:  You might have set up the receipt description for your Guitar category to be Manufacturer, Model and Description and for a titles category the receipt description was set up as Publisher and Title.  You would like a dash to separate each of values in the receipt description.  So, for the Guitar category the Receipt Description for a sold guitar might appear as Alvarez - MC761 - Classical Guitar.  For a sold title, the Receipt Description might print as Kjos - All for Strings Book 2.

In the above example, the 'Value' for the DescDelimiter variable would be set to " - "|" - ".  The 'Value' may be left blank if you do not want a delimiter to print.

Hint:  The pipe is on the same key as backslash (Shift + Backslash).

This variable determines what prints in the Discount column next to each item sold with a discount on printed receipts. 

'Value' should contain 'DISCOUNTEDAMT' if you would like the discount each to print.  This would be the discount calculated on price each.

'Value' should contain 'TOTALDISCOUNT' if you would like the total extended discount to print.  This would be the discount calculated on price each x quantity sold.

Do you want the "Display Inventory" program to display a warning if no search criteria is selected?  'Value' should contain a Y to display a warning.  'Value' should contain an N if you do not want the check to be performed and warning displayed.

If a new Serial/Sku/Catalog number being entered into inventory is found in the sold inventory file, do you want the new Serial/Sku/Catalog number being entered to be allowed or not? 

The first position of 'Value' should contain a 0 to always allow the new entry; a 1 to give a warning; or a 2 to not allow the new entry.

After the first position of 'Value' enter an A to perform the duplicate check on new Accessories being added; an S to check new Serial Numbers; and a C to check new Catalogs.
