The DAF parameters are accessed through the Parameters & controls option from the MS UTILITIES menu and are available to priority 9 users.There are only a few parameters that relate to Single Point Invoicing: SPI batch number, SPI enabled Y/N, SPI path, SPI purge in days and VAT code. None of the parameters have to be set up explicitly apart from SPI enabled which must be set to Y.
Note: The only parameter likely to vary is the SPI Valid franchises parameter.
SPI path: This is the working directory where single point invoicing information is stored. The directory must exist on the Autoline system.
SPI batch number: This field is initially set to zero and is automatically incremented each time a batch of invoices is created.
Enable SPI Y/N: This field determines whether or not the extract utilities are enabled within POS. To enable the extract utilities, set this field to 'Y'. If the field is set to 'N', a warning message is displayed when the Manufacturer systems, Single point invoicing details form is displayed, as a reminder that extracts are not being performed within POS.
SPI purge in days: Enter the number of days that you want documents and batches to remain on the system. The system is automatically delete documents and batches older than the period specified in this parameter. If 0 (zero) is entered, the system uses a default of 42 days.
SPI VAT code: The VAT registration number for the dealership.
SPI Default fleet: The default fleet to should be set to BOC.
SPI Valid franchises: This field indicates the valid stock file franchise letters/prefixes and default SPI fleet (which otherwise defaults to BOC). Each franchise must be comma separated. If there is more than one POS company an LD param record must exist for each.
Tip: In Stock Management, Miscellaneous options, note the franchise letters of all records with a price file switch field set to LD, enter these stock file part prefixes in the SPI valid franchises field.
