14 System Administration

In order to optimally configure the application, the user is provided with a set of screens which allow viewing, editing, and maintenance of system parameters which help customize various defaults and constants that are used throughout the system. The parameters range from setting the application UI features such as the Main Menu View or a Custom View, setting up important business features that are used by retailers such as Value Added Tax (VAT), Dynamic Hierarchies, Banners, Channels, and so on as well as setting up hardware features such as viewing or editing system printers. The majority of these parameters should be defined during the system implementation and changes to any of the parameters thereafter requires careful planning.

This chapter details out the entire set of features that can be customized in order to maximize the system efficiency for a retailer.

The following topics are covered in this chapter:

Maintaining System Parameters

The following areas can be maintained in order to optimize system performance.

System Parameter Maintenance Window [sys_maint]

The System Parameter Maintenance window allows you to customize various parameters, defaults, and constants that are used throughout the system. Normally, these elements are set when RMS is installed by the system or database administrator. They tend to remain fixed unless a business practice is changed which necessitates a change in RMS.

System Variables

Users gain the most value from software when the system is optimized to meet their needs. The system variables module provides a means of maintaining the relatively static information about a retailer's business.

Many of the system variables must be set during installation and cannot be changed without major implications. Most system variables are specific to functional areas such as ordering, pricing, transfers, stock ledger and history. While some indicators dictate the level at which these functions perform, others indicate the length of time that the data is maintained for these areas.

In addition to the functional variables, other variables span all functional areas and determine how the system must perform as a whole. Some of these variables include the multiple currency indicator, primary language, and system dates.

Editing System Variables

Navigate: From the main menu, select Control > System > System Variables. The System Parameter Maintenance window opens.

Calendar Overview

Two types of calendars are supported by the system:

  • Normal (Julian) calendar: Results in uneven yearly, quarterly, and monthly comparisons since calendar dates generally fall on different days from one year to the next. The number of weekdays differs from one year to the next. For example: There may be four Saturdays in a month one year, but five Saturdays the next year. A month may have between 28 and 31 days. Once every four years, an extra day is added to compensate for leap year.

  • Retail (4-5-4) calendar: Each quarter contains 13 full weeks divided into a 4-5-4 format. That is, the first month of the quarter has four weeks, the second month has five weeks, and the third month has four weeks. The number of days in the retail year, except leap year, equals only 364 days. To compensate for the missing day in non-leap years, an extra week is added to the calendar once every seven years. The retail calendar provides consistent inclusion of weekends for yearly comparisons by month and a consistent day for month-end processing.

Sales history is always based on the retail calendar. The calendar begins at least 18 months prior to the earliest stock ledger and sales history data. The calendar also contains dates at least three years into the future.

The calendar is set up by the system administrator. You can identify the half-year periods used in the system. Half-year periods are entered in the format YYYYn, where YYYY is the four-digit year and n is the period. The period may be 1 or 2. For example: The first half of 2002 is entered as 20021.

Code Maintenance

Code types provide the values that appear in drop-down lists throughout the system.The values entered on the code windows become useful when 1) windows in the system are coded to display fields containing the values and 2) the values are coded to cause some action to occur when a user selects the value.

Code Detail Maintenance Window [codedetl]

The Code Detail Maintenance window allows you to maintain a list of values for a code type. The values appear in drop-down lists that exist throughout the system.


Note:

If a code type is required by the system and used to perform certain functions, changing the code values could produce undesired consequences.

Codes Header Maintenance Window [codehead]

The Codes Header Maintenance window allows you to maintain a list of code types and their values. You can access the Code Detail Maintenance window in order to edit the values for a code type.


Note:

The Country Maintenance window allows you to view and maintain the list of countries and country codes that are used in the system. You can indicate whether the item cost entered is inclusive of taxes (NIC) or exclusive of taxes (BC).

Under a global tax scenario, the unit cost may or may not be tax exclusive. during item setup, to derive the cost inclusive of tax or the cost exclusive of tax, the system must determine the tax amount. To determine the right tax amount, RMS must pass the appropriate tax attributes to the tax engine (MTR). To achieve this, RMS requires some mechanism to designate a location as the Default Location so that system can use the tax attributes of the Default Location to derive the right tax amount, and thus, the cost exclusive/inclusive value for the item.

You can accomplish the following tasks by accessing additional windows from the Options menu:

  • Select the fiscal attributes at the country level. See "Maintaining Country Attributes".

  • Select the documents that are required at the country level.

  • Import authority partners: Indicate whether they are the primary import authority for the principal country.

  • All partners except banks: Track manufacturer ID, principal country, Tax ID, and terms.

In some countries, inventory maintained with a third party must be controlled by the retailer. A retailer may send goods to the external finisher or supplier for finishing the work (such as printing, dying, and embroidery) or repair (in case of damaged goods). After the job is done, the finisher or the supplier returns the goods back to the same or a different location. All such movements must be accompanied by a Nota Fiscal.

  • Auto Receive Stock Indicator: Available only if the partner type is an external finisher.

This flag is used in the two-legged transfer process to indicate that, when the warehouse/store ships the stock for the first leg, the system should automatically update the stock at the external finisher. The system will not wait for the confirmation from the external finisher, regardless of whether it has received the merchandise. If this indicate is unchecked, when the first leg transfer is shipped, the system should not update the stock at the external finisher until the external finisher sends across a message that has received the merchandise.

At the system level, you can determine if partner IDs are unique to all partners or unique to a partner type. If IDs are unique to partner type, partners with different partner types may have the same ID.

Internationalize RMS

You may need to maintain the internationalized aspects of RMS.

Maintaining Countries

You can maintain a list of country codes and descriptions. Country codes are used when entering:

  • Origin, import, export, and consolidating countries

  • Supplier, partner, outside location, and customer addresses

  • Company, store, and warehouse addresses

  • Company and store addresses of competitors

  • Country level geocodes and sales taxes

Maintaining Currencies

If the system is set up to support multiple currencies, monetary amounts may be displayed in any of the currencies that are defined in the system. In addition to identifying the currencies, the number of decimal places to display and the format for both cost and retail amounts must be entered for each currency.

One or more types of exchange rates may be entered for each currency. The types of exchange rates are: operational, consolidated, letter of credit/bank, purchase order, customs entry, and transportation. Exchange rates are used to convert a monetary amount from any currency to the primary currency of the company.

If the exchange rates are shared with an external system, you can map the types of exchange rates found in the external system to the types of exchange rates in RMS. The types of exchange rates are: operational, consolidated, letter of credit/bank, purchase order, customs entry, and transportation.

In many areas of the system, monetary values can be viewed in the primary currency of the company, the currency of the European Union, or the local currency of the location.

Maintaining Languages

By default, all values appear in the primary language of the company. However, you can choose to:

  • Translate a value when you encounter it in a window. You have the option of translating the value into one or multiple target languages, or you can copy existing translations from a similar value.

  • Translate one or multiple values of the same type, such as item or department descriptions, into one target language.

Users who are set up to view values in the target language will see the translated version, rather than the primary language version, of the values.

Maintaining Units of Measure

You can view, but not edit, a list of the units of measure that are available in the system for defining area, dimension, volume, and weight. Units of measure are used in a variety of ways:

  • Standard unit of measure (SUOM): The unit of measure by which stock is tracked at the corporate level. The SUOM may be measured by weight, volume, area, or dimension. The size of the standard unit of measure is set up at the item level. If a measurement, rather than the term "each", is selected as the SUOM, a conversion factor must be entered. The conversion factor indicates many units of the selected SUOM make up an each. For example: If the size of an each is 5 kilograms, then the SUOM is kilogram and the conversion factor is 5.

  • Store order multiple: The unit of measure by which items are shipped to stores. The store order multiple may be each, inner, or case. The default store order multiple is set up at the item level. Store order multiples for specific locations are set up at the item/location level.

  • Unit of purchase (UOP): The unit of measure by which an item is purchased. The UOP may be each, case, or pallet. The default UOP is set up at the item/supplier/sourcing country level. The default UOP may be superceded when adding items to a purchase order.

  • Unit of Transfer: The unit of measure by which an item is transferred. The unit of transfer may be each, case, or pallet. The unit of transfer is entered when adding items to a transfer.

  • Unit of Receipt (UOR): The unit of measure by which an item is received on a shipment. The UOR may be each, case, or pallet. The UOR is entered when receiving items.

The standard unit of measure is the equivalent of an each. A case (or its equivalent, such as a box, bushel, barrel, or roll) may correlate with a supplier's pack size. The unit of purchase, unit of transfer, and unit of receipt may default to either the standard unit of measure or case. If a quantity is entered by the pallet for the unit of purchase, unit of transfer, or unit of receipt, the quantity is converted to the default measurement.

The terms inner, case, and pallet are used as generic terms in RMS. You can select different terms for the same concepts at the item/supplier level.

Language Maintenance Window [lang]

The Language Maintenance window allows you to view and maintain the list of languages used in the system. You can enter the standard abbreviation for the language and references to the WebHelp server, Web Report server, and Report server.
