Infrastructure

Features of Infrastructure include:

• Multi-Location
  • Complete audit trail is tracked
  • Data Replication for Point of Sale
  • Triple Redundancy Backup
  • Multi-entity capability
  • Multi-warehouse capability
  • Multi-division capability
  • Add warehouses/divisions/entities easily
  • Move data without losing history
  • Set different pricing/costing by location
  • Integration into reporting system to eliminate double handling
• Menu Level Security
  • Access control on menu item level
  • Easy to understand user-interface, logical hierarchy of menus and intuitive design reduces errors.
• Entity Level Security
  • Enable separate work environments for management control over cost/profit centers, subsidiaries or independent business units.
  • Control on entity physical location and detail
  • Register default values for currency unit, Minimum interest charged for Accounts Receivable, profit margin % for costing, aging intervals
  • Control by fiscal operating periods or subledger account
  • Use training entities where users are allowed to train and experiment without affecting the integrity of live data
• Security Management
  • User Class definition and security group definition, limiting access to certain parts of the system on an employee by employee basis.
  • Restrict user class level access to certain operating periods
  • User level: Access by day of week; Access by time of day; Access to origin/location
• Key Data
  • Bbusiness units are defined within an entity
  • Register valid warehouses for each business unit
  • Define country/location codes and exchange rates
  • Define unlimited number of discount/interest rates
  • Specify warehouses with address, contact persons and Division, Branch and Center allocation
• System Level Security
  • Set user preferences for check printing
  • Allocate tasks to specific printers
  • Control default values - credit limits, currencies, interest rates, interest types
  • Control automatic options - payment applications, journal entries
  • Control field update/add mandatory options
  • Set valid inventory classes per area/process/product
  • Set pricing standards & types and costing rules
• Background Process Level Security
  • View all failed background process transactions including data, error messages, date/time, module and process
  • Monitor background process with status update
  • Keep a history of changes for each profile and reference table field on an audit trail. Every change transaction entry is time, date, and operator ID stamped
• Hardware Level Security
  • Define printer paths, locations, models (and control codes for each model), and permissible form types
  • Define terminal emulation modes
• Replication Management
  • Define system origins with settings for data transfer/replication and peer-to-peer/master-slave communication
  • Replicate data by entity and data table
  • Replication can be set by mode (add, edit and/or delete), table name and entity
  • Bi-directional replication in asynchronous mode
  • Replication with different data reference numbers between systems are allowed and managed. Two systems may therefore be integrated and replicated although they use different inventory codes for the same item or different account numbers for the same account structure
• Database Level Security
  • Standard utilities to dump and load data
  • Utilities for the transfer of masses of data between systems which are or are not binary compatible
  • Relative ease of database administration as a result of many tools and utilities
  • Remote system support
  • Integrity save environment with before image, after image, mirroring and two phase commit functions
  • Performance tuning tools
  • Supports system back-up during processing
