The System Parameters form is displayed when the System Parameters option is selected from the System Maintenance menu.
The System Parameters form consists of the following fields:
Company identifier: The Asset Register company number.[Not user-definable]
NL integration: Set the NL integration check box to a tick, so that data may be posted from the Register to the Nominal. Alternatively, leave the box empty to operate the register in 'stand-alone' fashion, such that the position of the Nominal is unaffected by data held on the Register.
Annual Reduction Rate:This field must be populated with an A [for Asset] or C [for Class].This is only to be used for certain depreciation methods- reducing balance is an example. When A is set, and an asset is created, and the relevant depreciation method is selected, a field appears on the Add/Modify Asset form, Valuation page, and the required percentage can be entered there.[this percentage alters the slope of the exponential curve] If C is set, this field does NOT appear.
Depreciate in purchase period: Set the Depreciate in purchase period check box to a tick to depreciate Assets within the same financial period as they were acquired. Leave the check box empty to disallow such a depreciation calculation.
Posting Level: By using the 
box, the user can choose between Consolidated and Detailed postings- the former meaning that when depreciation process is run, the posting entries will consolidate all individual items in the class to a consolidated posting, and the latter will show every item in each class in detail,complete with narrative of the item.
Depreciation daybook sort order: The setting of this field determines whether the Depreciation Daybook is printed with the Profit & Loss Account or the Balance Sheet details listed first. Enter a P to sort by Profit & Loss Account or a B for Balance Sheet.
Country code: Alphabetic code, which represents country name.[e.g Some Autoline installations will have a different country for each individual Asset Register company.
Auto-allocate number: Check the box for Yes [i.e when an asset is created, Autoline will automatically assign an item number to this asset] or leave blank for No.[user must assign the item number to the new asset item]
Select from either of the following four checkboxes.
Add/modify
Depreciation
Disposals
Asset movement
The four check box's chosen for this option have an important bearing on the operation of four Asset Register options. Add/modify, Depreciation, Disposals and Asset movement.
All four share the common feature that their operation can generate postings to the Nominal Ledger; this option determines when those postings will take place.
If the check box is ticked postings will be made to the Nominal ledger immediately on exiting from the option. However, if the box is left blank, postings will not be made to the Nominal until the next run of the Print all daybooks option within the Accounts system. Typically, this will be at the end of the day.
Journal type: Enter the type of journal.This is user definable, to aid reporting and analysis of where the postings originated from, once they reach the Nominal Ledger.
Low value assets: This fields displays the amount of the low value assets[i.e what is the value of an asset that will class it to be a low-value asset. Bear in mind that low value assets only operate when the nation flag of the Autoline system as a whole is set to "DE"]
