Configure Company Preferences Options

It is also important to review and go through different options and settings on each of the tabs in Company Preferences so you can configure VisionCore to better suit your needs.

 

The following will explain briefly how each of the options work.

 

General Tab

This tab lists several buttons that open other forms that are used to customize VisionCore.  For additional information of these forms see their various topics.

compref0

 

 

Bullet PointStarting Transaction Numbers - will open the Starting Transaction Numbers form where you can adjust the starting numbers for your transactions.

compref1

 

The Starting Numbers form is extremely important when you are initially setting up your company file.  This form contains fields for every type of transaction in VisionCore where you can setup starting numbers.  The Starting Numbers form can only be opened through the Company Preferences form and is not available directly from the Main Menu.

 

All starting numbers will increment automatically as they are used and can contain up to 20 alphanumeric characters.  You can use spaces, symbols and even letters as long as the last character is a number.  The last character must be a number so that VisionCore can increment that number each time it is used.  If you use a letter then VisionCore will not be able to increment it. 

 

For example you could enter a starting number like "SR10000" and each time that number is used VisionCore will increment it to " SR10001" and then " SR10002" and so on. 

compref2

 

compref3

 

If you click add on any transaction that uses a starting number and then decide to cancel or delete that record, the starting number will still be incremented by one.  You can come back to this form and change the starting numbers for any of the fields but just make sure it will not have a chance to duplicate eventually.

 

In the left side of the form, modules' shortcuts are listed.  As you click on any of the modules, transaction types under that module will be listed on the opposite side.  By default, all records and transactions will be shown in the transaction type area.

 

Bullet PointShip Via Setup - will open the Ship Via form where you can add, edit or delete shipping methods for your transactions.  If you created a new company, this form will only show the Ship Via you added on the New Company Setup Wizard.

compref4

 

In the Ship Via form you can create a list of your most common shipping methods.  This will save you the time from manually entering a shipping method each time you are in a form. 

 

Bullet PointTerms Setup - will open the Terms form where you can add, edit or delete payment terms for your customers and also the payment terms given to you by your vendors.  If you created a new company, this form will only show the Terms you added on the New Company Setup Wizard.

compref5

 

In the Terms form you setup a list of your payment terms for customers and vendors.  Terms are the method for payment that you can assign to each of your customers or the terms given to you by your vendors.  You can enter as many Terms as your company may use in this form by clicking the New button.  The Terms are very important when it comes to the Receivables and Payables forms.  If you setup a Term to give discounts or charge interest then the date that the invoices are paid will determine if there will be discounts or interest charged on those invoices.

 

Standard tab

Terms - is a description name field used to describe the type of terms.  An example might be "COD", "2% 10 Net 30" or "Company Check".

 

Discount for Early Payment - enter the actual discount percent given if the payment is made within the number of Discount Days.  If you want your customer to get a 2% discount for paying within the Discount Days field then enter 2 in this field.

Term is Active - can be used to make a term active or inactive.  When the active check box is deselected, the term will in effect be disabled and you will not be able to use it.

compref6

 

Terms - is a description name field used to describe the type of terms.  An example might be "2% 10th net 30th".

Discount Day - is used to enter the day where discount would be valid.  Allowed value in this field is 1 to 31 only, which represents calendar days.  For example, the terms is "2% 10th net 30th", if you want to set the discount day of your customer to be on the 10th of the month, then enter 10 in this field.  When the invoice is paid on or before the 10th of the month, then the customer gets to avail a 2% discount.

 

Day of Month Due (Net due before the __ the day of the month) - is used to enter the day where payment must be received before it is considered late.  Allowed value in this field is 1 to 31 only, which represents calendar days.  For example, the terms is "2% 10th net 30th", if you want to set the due date of the invoice to be on the 30th of the month, enter 30 in this field.  When the invoice is not paid on or before the 30th of the month, there will be interest charged on that invoice.

 

Due Next Month (Due next month if issued within __ days of the due date) - can be used to set the number of days from the Due Date, which will determine if the invoice is due next month.  If the invoice is issued within the set days, then the invoice is due next month. For example, if 15 is entered in this field, and terms is "2% 10th net 30th", when the invoice is issued within 15 days from the Due date, that invoice will be due next month. 

 

APR for Late Payment - enter a yearly percent if you want to charge a late fee when the payment is not received within the Day of Month Due field.  If you want to charge 2% each month on late charges then make sure you enter the yearly equivalent (APR) of 24% in this field.  VisionCore will charge interest based on each month the customer is late when entering Receivables.

This method will sell your inventory in an order of first purchased inventory or your oldest inventory to be sold first.
