image\field_bt.gifUsing the Options Form

You select options when you create your Inventory Control ledger. Once you have set up your ledger, use this form when you need to change your selections.

This form lets you:

  • Specify the contact name, telephone number, and fax number for your Inventory Control ledger. (Use the Company tab.)

  • Select the Multicurrency option and other options that determine how your Inventory Control system operates. (Use the Processing tab.)

  • Define up to ten item number segments, any number of which you can then combine to define item structures, which are used to format item numbers. (Use the Items tab.)

Note: Sage Accpac 100 allows up to 4 item number segments.

  • Select separators to be used in item structures. (Use the Items tab.)

  • Specify the prefix and sequence of all numbers used to identify documents in your system (shipments, receipts, returns, transfers, adjustments, assemblies, and disassemblies).

  • If you have the Serialized Inventory and Lot Tracking license installed, the Serials and Lots tabs appear allowing you to set options for allocation, expiration and formatting of serial/lot numbers.
