This editor is displayed when you select the Dispenser parameters option from the second Operations menu. It is a standard grid / column editor.
If you leave these parameter values blank, they are assigned by the fluid dispenser daemon. You can change them subsequently.
Company: Autoline Point-of-Sale company for which fluid dispensing software is available
Note: A fluid dispenser parameter record must exist for every Point-of-Sale company for which fluid dispensing software is available.
Title: Text appearing in form title bars and messages, the fluid dispenser franchise name, for example
Fluid name: Word(s) indicating the type of fluid dispensed, for example Oil
Fluid type: Code representing Fluid name, for example O for oil
Enabled?: Indicates whether fluid dispenser software is live, Y (yes) or N (no)
S.L. adjustment a/c: Sales Ledger account used for fluid dispenser batch adjustments
Valid SO depts.: Point-of-Sale company WIP header department letters, for example W (Workshop) or B (Bodyshop), that allow dispensings
Note: In Valid SO depts., letters are not comma-separated. See Department codes in the SO MISCELLANEOUS OPTIONS menu.
Override code: Transactions with WIP numbers of zero and their override code set to this value are listed in Point-of-Sale as Unlinked. The default override code, assigned when parameters are created, is 0000. Unlinked transactions are:
Transactions that are invalid for any reason
Transactions dispensed using the Override code
Note: Transactions created with the Override code are not automatically linked to a WIP. You can link them in Point-of-Sale.
Transactions unlinked from WIPs by an operator because they did not belong to those WIPs
DMS transfer dir: Folder path where transaction files reside in Autoline
Dummy Values, Ignore: Not used
DMS archive dir.: Folder path where the archive file resides in Autoline
Note: Transaction files are copied between PC transfer dir. on the dispenser computer and DMS archive dir. in Autoline. All transactions are recorded in the archive file.
PC transfer dir.: Folder path where transaction files reside on the dispenser computer
Issue chnge priority: Point-of-Sale operator priority below which access is denied to the Issue Now field on the main Fluid Dispenser Status form in Point-of-Sale when actioning fluid transactions. It also determines whether the operator can unlink any transaction from the selected WIP. Values are blank or 0-9.
Note: Issue chnge priority is normally set to the priority of supervisors in the service department. Supervisors can change issue quantity if necessary. If it is zero, nobody has supervisor access.
Purge after n days: Affects how long fluid transaction records/archives are kept. If zero, transactions are never purged. Blank or 0 to 999.
Dispr. unit of issue: Multiplication factor to convert the dispenser amount to hundredths of a litre, which is how Autoline records dispenser transaction quantities. If, for example, the dispenser quantity represents hundredths of a litre, Dispr. unit of issue should be set to 1 because no conversion is necessary. If the dispenser quantity represents tenths of a litre, Dispr. unit of issue should be set to 10. If the dispenser quantity represents whole litres, set Dispr. unit of issue to 100. If the dispenser quantity represents multiples of a litre and a half, set it to 150.
