Stock Ordering

One new feature of Version 3 is the system will maintain an order file per supplier rather than having to process one supplier after an other. This enables you to setup different supplier codes for the same supplier and add to orders over a period to ensure you get the best ordering discount. You can also use this to set different discounts to goods from the same supplier. This is based on the supplier number set on Ordering -> Options.

By default, this option is enabled, if you want to switch back to processing each supplier manually set the params.txt entry

   One_Order_File = Yes

Another related params.txt entry is:

   Warn_Diff_Supplier =   Yes    (or no)

The default is No - the system checks the supplier number you have the ordering set to - if the supplier number of the item being ordered is different you get a warning. With this set to No the warning is suppressed.

Stage Letters

On invoices you can have the stage letter based on the animal record type. With stages 1 to 4 the system will check for a definition file stageX.YY where X is the stage number and YY is the record type. e.g.

stage1.FC will be a stage 1 letter for a Farm card,
stage1.EQ is stage 1 but on an Equine card.

The file is optional, if it does not exist the system will check for the original stageX file.

You should note with related records the card type used will be the final card on the chain.

The definition file stage5 will be added to statements. The maximum length of any one stage letter remains the same at 6000 characters.
