Setting Reporting Options

Before you can start using Fastfit Reporting in Point-of-Sale, you must set up the parameters that define how the software works.

Note: It is important to note that when the Fastfit Reporting software is active, the labour Fastfit department parameter in POS parameters must be blank.

To set reporting options:

  1. From the Operations Menu select Fastfit reporting followed by the name of the Point-of-Sale company you require.

    The Fastfit Reporting form is displayed.

  2. Click the Fastfit Reporting options button Parameters.gif on the form's toolbar or select Edit > Options on the menu bar.

    The Fastfit Reporting Options form is displayed with the Reporting options tab active.

  3. Set the options on the tab to suit your requirements and click Save.

    The data capture and report facilities are tailored to your requirements, without affecting previously captured data.

Reporting Options Tab

Miscellaneous:

Labour franchise code: Labour franchise code used from the POS labour rates table. This identifies valid labour rates for Category Mapping.

POS activities:

Fastfit Reporting active: When the check box is ticked the Fastfit Reporting software is switched on. When the software is switched off, Point-of-Sale works as if the software were not installed. This is useful during piloting or if the customer is not ready to start using the software.

Use Fastfit Calendar: When this check box is ticked, the Fastfit Calendar is used. It eliminates the need for a paper diary and is fully automated. When you save a Fastfit WIP, an entry is put into the Fastfit calendar. The calendar can be viewed in Point-of-Sale when you book out a Fastfit labour line, and by selecting the Fastfit Reporting Today option from the Links > Utilities menu on the Service Point of Sale form.

Support only: When this check box is ticked, Fastfit Reporting is active in Support mode only. This means that only kcc users will be able to see the Fastfit Interfaces. This is useful if you do not want the customer to continue using the software while you are looking into a problem.

Note: While the software is in support mode, invoices are not included in Fastfit Reporting and WIP line manipulation does not take place.

Support mode user: Name of the support mode user, selectable by clicking the drop-down arrow button when the Support only check box is ticked.

Next free magic: Read-only, self-incrementing number used to identify Fastfit transactions uniquely.
