SECTION 3 Setting Up The Master Files




This section introduces the user to the master file data structure, definitions, associated lists and on-line inquiries. The master files are extremely important because they contain the most basic component of the system, information. In order for that information to be available on demand throughout the system, it has to be entered and stored somewhere.



The master files contain relatively permanent information. For example, customer records, inventory item-part numbers, equipment installed records, and other important data.



For the most part these files are created for you, as they are part of the installation conversion process undertaken by SAC. However, the user will be responsible for entering new records, deleting old ones, and keeping existing ones up to date.



The Master File Module Contains The Following Information:



� Customer File � Sales Rep. Name

� Item-Master � Service Rep. Name

� Item-Warehouse � Postal/Zip File

� Warehouse Text � Equipment Master

The Importance Of Planning A Meaningful Numbering System



Before adding any new records to the customer or equipment master files, some pre planning will be necessary, in order to establish a user defined numbering system.



When creating a numbering system, the desired output should not only be meaningful to the business, it also should convey as much information as possible. Information such as:

� the Sold to customer number

� the customer site number

� the installed equipment type



For example, the diagram below, shows how a numbering system can reflect, a Sold to customer�s different locations and different installed equipment types.





ABC Inc., Installed Site #12345023

Voice Mail System


ABC Inc., Installed Site #12345034

Fax System


ABC Inc., Installed Site #12345045

Video System


ABC Inc., Installed Site #12345012

Telephone System








Note how the 8 digit numeric field has been best utilized:

� The first 5 digits are used as the Sold to customer: #12345

� The next 2 digits are used to represent the customer�s different installed sites: 01, 02, 03, and 04

� The last digit is used to distinguish the different types of installed equipment at each customer site: 2 = Telephone System, 3 = Voice Mail System, 4 = Fax System, 5 = Video System



The numbering system described in this manual, may require some modifications in order to suit your particular business needs. However, by planning ahead and using numbers that are meaningful, all A/R transactions involving multiple sites, need only be posted to one Sold to customer. Requiring only one monthly customer statement be produced. Using the suggested numbering system also allows for up to 99 different sites, to be related to one customer number.







Be Careful When Entering Dates:



Certain dates will have more significance, to the system, than others. For instance, dates related to GMA�s and warranties depend on the Day End system maintenance program to automatically make logical changes to time and material charges when they expire. Dates entered incorrectly, could lead to incorrect charges being made to customer statements. The bottom line, be careful when entering any date.







1... CUSTOMER MASTER FILE


The customer master file contains important billing information and includes the following options:







1.CUSTOMER FILE :Add/Edit Records



2. Delete Records



4. Territory Update









Adding A Customer Record (Option 1):



Before adding any new records to the customer master file, see The Importance Of Planning A Meaningful Numbering System, in Section I of, Setting Up The Master Files.



To add a new customer, select option 1 (Customer File: Add/Edit Records) from the File Processing Menu and press the RETURN KEY.



After the required password has been entered, a screen entitled ADD/EDIT CUSTOMER INFORMATION is displayed.



At this screen, there are three data entry fields. The first one, prompts the user to enter a new customer number (numeric entry, up to 8 digits in length). The system automatically assigns a new number if the user chooses to leave the field empty by pressing the RETURN KEY.



The second field prompts the user to enter a customer�s partial name (alpha numeric entry, 3 characters long). This field does not require data input when adding a new customer. It only requires input when retrieving an existing customer record. In order to advance the cursor to the next field, leaving the second field empty, press the RETURN KEY.



At the third field the user must enter a �Y� for YES, to verify that a new customer is being created, or �N� for NO to exit the screen.











Enter Existing CUSTOMER-# or PARTIAL-NAME to EDIT

or Leave BOTH BLANK to Enter NEW CUSTOMER ------> ________(Customer#)or___(name)











Do you wish to Enter a NEW CUSTOMER ? (Y=Yes / N=No) : __

The system does not allow duplicate customer numbers. However, if a number being entered already exists in the system, S.A.M. brings up the customer record assigned that number, because it assumes the user wants to edit or update that record.



When allowing the system to automatically assign new customer numbers, each number assignment increments by a value of 5. Incrementing values allows for gaps between each number assignment value. These gaps become useful when it is preferable to keep records sequentially numbered, from an administrative point of view, for customers with multiple installed sights or multiple installed equipment types. In order to accomplish this, all the user has to do is manually enter the customer�s numbers in the sequence desired.

Editing An Existing Customer Record (Option 1):



To edit or update information about an existing customer, select option 1 (Customer File: Add/Edit Records) from the File Processing Menu and press the RETURN KEY.



After the required password has been entered, a screen entitled ADD/EDIT CUSTOMER INFORMATION is displayed.



At this screen, there are three data entry fields. The first one, prompts the user to enter a customer number (numeric entry, up to 8 digits in length). If however, the user cannot remember the customer�s number, leave this field blank and press the RETURN KEY to advance to the next field.



The second field allows the user to enter the customer�s partial name (alpha numeric entry, 3 characters long). Enter the first 3 letters of the customer�s name and press the RETURN KEY to advance to the next field.



The third field prompts for a �Y� to be entered to verify that YES this is a new customer or �N� for NO to exit this screen. Leave this field blank and press the RETURN KEY.

If the user entered the actual customer number, the record requested appears on a screen entitled CHANGE EXISTING CUSTOMER. Use the ARROW KEYS to move the cursor to the fields that need editing. With the changes made, press the PAGE UP/PAGE DOWN KEY as many times as necessary to exit back to the File Processing Menu.



However, if the user enters the customer�s partial name, the system displays a list of all the customer names that begin with the 3 letters entered.

Sample Screen: Partial Customer Name & Number Search List



Once at the screen entitled PARTIAL CUSTOMER�S NAME & NUMBER SEARCH, if the desired customer record is not listed, press the RETURN key as many times as required, until the record appears on screen. Then at the prompt enter the customer number for the record that needs editing and press the RETURN key.



With the record displayed, use the ARROW KEYS to move the cursor to the fields that need editing. Once the changes are made, press the PAGE UP/PAGE DOWN KEY to exit back to the File Processing Menu.



Deleting A Customer Record (Option 2):



Before deleting a customer record from the customer master file, make sure there is no activity, for that customer, in the current A/R period. As well, there must be no outstanding invoices or debit memos associated with that customer. Just to be on the safe side, print off a copy of the Aged Trial Balance Report.



To delete a customer record select option 2 (Customer File: Delete Records) from the File Processing Menu and press the RETURN KEY.



At the screen entitled, DELETE EXISTING CUSTOMER, the system reminds the user to check the A/R status of the customer before proceeding. Next, enter the required password, then enter the number of the customer record to be deleted, and press the RETURN KEY.



The requested customer record should now appear on the screen entitled CUSTOMER INQUIRY/CUSTOMER DELETE. With the correct customer record displayed, proceed by typing �YES� at the prompt and press the RETURN KEY. However, if for some reason the wrong record appears, type �NO� at the prompt, to cancel the deleting process and press the RETURN KEY.

Numbers from deleted customer records can be re used if re entered manually but, the system�s ability to handle a large number of customer records, makes re using numbers unnecessary. The system will supports up to 99,999,999 customer records.

Sample Screen: Territory Update



This option automatically updates the customer master file, by assigning territory numbers, sales and service representative numbers, service zones, and county tax codes, to all the customer site records, according to the postal/zip code table already set up.



To run the territory update, select option 4 (Customer File: Territory Update) from the File Processing Menu and press the RETURN KEY. Continue by entering �S� at the prompt to start the process and press the RETURN KEY, or enter �C� to cancel and press the RETURN KEY to exit back to the File Processing Menu.



The user must again verify whether or not to proceed. Enter �Y� for YES or �N� for NO and press the RETURN KEY.

1. Sales Rep. #

2. Sales Territory #

3. Service Zone

4. Service Technician # (Allows for up to 3 technicians to be assigned to service this territory.)

5. County tax code



Something to keep in mind before choosing to run the territory update, is that this procedure will update all the records in the customer master file, overwriting any sales representative numbers, sales territory numbers, service zones, and service representative numbers previously entered. It is recommended the territory update be included as part of the Day End system maintenance program, therefore keeping all the records accessible during regular business hours.

2... ITEM MASTER FILE


The item master file contains important pricing information for each individual item-part number and includes the following options:







12. ITEM-MASTER :Add/Edit Records



13. Delete Records



14. Price Maintenance





Adding An Item-Part Number (Option 12):



When adding item-part numbers to the item master file, we recommend using the original manufacturer�s item-part numbers, to achieve an easy to use and meaningful cross reference. This way, the correct manufacturing item-part number will appear on the purchase orders and receiving reports, thus eliminating additional conversion and manual entries to match vendor receiving reports.



To add a new item-part number, select option 12 (Item-Master: Add/Edit Records) from the File Processing Menu and press the RETURN KEY.



After entering the required password, a screen entitled ADD/EDIT ITEM-MASTER INFORMATION is displayed.



At this screen, enter a new item-part number (alpha numeric entry, up to 15 characters long) at the prompt. When a new item-part number is created the system displays a flashing warning, in red, asking whether a new or wrong item-part number has been entered. At the prompt enter �Y� for YES this is a new item-part number, then press the RETURN KEY.



In the event the user wishes to cancel entering a new item-part number, enter �N� for NO at the prompt and press the RETURN KEY or PAGE UP/PAGE DOWN KEY to exit back to the File Processing Menu screen.



The system does not allow duplicate item-part numbers. If, however, a number being entered already exists in the system, S.A.M. brings up the item-part record already assigned to that number, because it assumes the user wants to edit or update the record.



If the user entered �Y� at the prompt, the ADD NEW ITEM-MASTER INFO data entry screen appears. This is where important pricing information, about the item-part number just created, will be entered into the system.

Sample Screen: Creating an Item Balance Inventory Record



For better control over inventory management, after adding a new item-part number to the item master file, each new item should also be added to the main warehouse. The system automatically adds item-parts to all other warehouses when required. (For more information about setting up warehouses, read section 4, which deals with Warehouse Text Files.)



After entering a valid warehouse number at the prompt, press the RETURN KEY. This brings up the ADD NEW ITEM-NUMBER/WAREHOUSE data entry screen. Here, the user has the opportunity to create an item balance record or inventory record for the new item-part. If the user is not ready to enter inventory information yet, press the PAGE UP/PAGE DOWN KEY to exit this screen.



Otherwise, enter the inventory stock information for the item-part and for the appropriate warehouse, then press the RETURN KEY to repeat the process for another warehouse, if need be.

With all the necessary data for the item-part entered, press the PAGE UP/PAGE DOWN KEY twice, to create another new item-part number, or as many times as necessary to exit back to the File Processing Menu.



Editing An Existing Item-Part Number (Option 12):



To edit or update an existing item-part number, select option 12 (Item-Master: Add/Edit Records) from the File Processing Menu and press the RETURN KEY.



After entering the required password, a screen entitled ADD/EDIT ITEM-MASTER INFORMATION is displayed.



At this screen, enter the item-part number for the record that needs changing, and press the RETURN KEY. With the record displayed, use the ARROW KEYS to move the cursor to the fields that need editing. Once the changes are made, press the PAGE UP/PAGE DOWN KEY as many times as necessary to exit back to the File Processing Menu screen.

In the event the user wishes to cancel making changes to the item-part record, simply press the PAGE UP/PAGE DOWN KEY to exit back to the File Processing Menu screen.



Deleting An Item-Part Number (Option 13):



Deleting an item-part number is a little more involved then just pressing the delete key. Certain steps must be taken before the item is completely deleted from the system. For instance, all warehouse inventory stock records associated with the item-part must be deleted from the item balance file before the item-part number can be deleted from the item master file.



The first step involves zeroing out all on-hand quantities of the item-part within all the warehouses associated with the item-part. This is a very simple process, select option 23 (Item Warehouse: Add/Edit Records) from the File Processing Menu and press the RETURN KEY.



After entering the required password, a screen entitled ADD/EDIT AN ITEM/

WAREHOUSE INVENTORY is displayed.



At this screen, enter the item-part number at the prompt, and press the RETURN KEY. Next, enter the warehouse number at the prompt, and press the RETURN KEY. With the record displayed, use the ARROW KEYS to move the cursor to the on-hand fields that need zeroing out. Once the changes are made, press the PAGE UP/PAGE DOWN KEY to exit back to the File Processing Menu screen.



The next step involves deleting a specific item-part number from a specific warehouse number. To do this, select option 24 (Item Warehouse: Delete Records) from the File Processing Menu Screen and press the RETURN KEY.



After entering the required password, a screen entitled DELETE ITEM

WAREHOUSE RECORD is displayed.

3... ITEM BALANCE FILE


The item balance file contains important inventory management information for each item-part number, such as warehouse number, physical location, on-hand quantity, on-order quantity, minimum safety stock quantity, etc., and includes the following options:







23. ITEM-WAREHOUSE: Add/Edit Records



24. Delete Records







25. Recreate Item/WH







27. Description Upd.





Adding An Item Balance Record (Option 23):



It should be noted; an item balance record can not be created unless the item-part number already exists in the item master file and the warehouse number already exists in the warehouse text file. Accordingly, the item master file and warehouse text file must be set up before the item balance file.



That way, information such as item description, item class, and warehouse description, already existing in the item master file and the warehouse text file, can be shared with the item balance file. Consequently, when a new item balance record is being created, this data is automatically copied over, eliminating redundant data entries.



To add a new item balance record, select option 23 (Item Warehouse: Add/Edit Records) from the File Processing Menu and press the RETURN KEY.



After entering the required password, a screen entitled ADD/EDIT ITEM/WAREHOUSE INVENTORY is displayed.



At this screen, enter the item-part number at the prompt, and press the RETURN KEY. If the item-part number is not accepted by the system, it means the item-part number entered does not exist in the item master file. If this happens, the user should exit the screen, by pressing the PAGE UP/PAGE DOWN KEY or RETURN KEY and verify that the item-part number was entered accurately.



Once the system accepts the item-part number, another prompt appears on the screen, requesting a valid warehouse number be entered. Meaning a number that already exists in the warehouse text file.



With both numbers accepted, the system displays a message stating the item balance record already exists, just press the RETURN KEY to continue.

Sample Screen: Adding or Editing an Item Balance Record



The warehouse number indicates, to the system, where the item-part will be stored, for inventory stock management purposes. The same item-part can be store in many different warehouses. Although the on-hand quantity, most likely will vary from warehouse to warehouse. Therefore, a single item-part number can have several different item balance records.



Editing An Existing Item Balance Record (Option 23):



To edit an existing item balance record, select option 23 (Item-Warehouse: Add/Edit Records) from the File Processing Menu and press the RETURN KEY.



After entering the required password, a screen entitled ADD/EDIT ITEM/ WAREHOUSE INVENTORY is displayed.



At this screen, enter the item-part number, and press the RETURN KEY. Then enter the warehouse number associated with the item-part number, and press the RETURN KEY. With the correct record displayed, use the ARROW KEYS to move the cursor to the fields that need editing. Once the changes are made, press the RETURN KEY to continue making changes to the item-part but in different warehouses, or press the PAGE UP/PAGE DOWN KEY as many times as necessary to exit back to the File Processing Menu screen.



In the event the user wishes to abort making changes to the item balance record, simply press the PAGE UP/PAGE DOWN KEY as many times as necessary to exit back to the File Processing Menu screen.



Deleting An Item Balance Number (Option 24):



Follow some or all of the procedures outlined in section 2: Deleting An Item-Part Number.



Recreate An Item / Warehouse (Option 25):



DO NOT USE THIS OPTION, unless a complete backup of the item/warehouse file exists.



Select option 25, (Item-Warehouse: Recreate Item/WH) from the File Processing Menu and press the RETURN KEY, in order to perform any of the following tasks:



1. Delete the complete item balance file and have it re created according to the item master file, for all warehouses.

2. Add to the existing item balance file, all the items from the item master file, for a specific item class and all warehouses.

3. Add to the existing item balance file, all the items from the item master file, for a specific item class and specific warehouse.

4. Add to the existing item balance file, all the items from the item master file, for all item classes and a specific warehouse.



After entering the required password, a screen entitled ITEM MASTER MAINTENANCE MENU is displayed. At this screen, enter the desired option at the prompt (make a selection specific to the task required), and follow on-line instructions to complete the task.



Updating The Item Balance File (Option 27):



When changes have been made to some item descriptions in the item master file, use option 27 to automatically perform an update to make sure both files contain the same information, instead of manually making changes to the item balance file (for each individual item-part and for each warehouse).



To update the item balance file with, item description and item class data contained in the item master file, select option 27 (Item-Warehouse: Description Upd.) from the File Processing Menu and press the RETURN KEY.



At the screen entitled ITEM BALANCE MASTER-FILE UPDATE, enter �S� at the prompt to start the procedure or �C� to cancel the procedure and exit back to the File Processing Menu.

32. Delete Records



Adding A Warehouse Text Record (Option 31):



Any transactions involving inventory stock movements, will be tracked and recorded, for each warehouse. The system can support inventory stock management records for up to 999 separate warehouses.



Inventory stock stored in a service technician�s truck should also be accounted for in some way as well. Therefore, it makes sense to assign each service representative with their own warehouse number in order to record the movements of the inventory stored in their trucks.

When deleting a service representative (especially if assigned to a warehouse), make sure no outstanding jobs, service requests, invoices, inventory stock or item balance records are associated with their record. In fact, we suggest an inventory status report be printed off, or a stock inquiry be done first, before attempting to delete a warehouse. (Inquiries and reports will both be covered later on in the Setting Up Master Files section.)



To delete a service representative record from the service representative file, select option 52 (Service Rep. Name: Delete Records) from the File Processing Menu and press the RETURN KEY.



After entering the required password, a screen entitled DELETE A SERVICE - TECHNICIAN is displayed.



At this screen, enter the number of the service representative record to be deleted and press the RETURN KEY. With the correct sales representative record displayed, proceed by typing �YES� at the prompt. However, if for some reason the wrong record appears, type �NO� at the prompt, to cancel the deleting process.

71.EQUIPMENT MASTER: Add/Edit Records







72. Delete Records







75. Territory Update









Adding A Customer Site Record (Option 71):



Before adding any new records to the equipment master file, see The Importance Of Planning A Meaningful Numbering System, in Section I of, Setting Up The Master Files.



To add a new customer site record, select option 71 (Equipment Master: Add/Edit Records) from the File Processing Menu and press the RETURN KEY.



After the required password has been entered, a screen entitled ADD, EDIT EQUIPMENT SITE-# EQUIPMENT LIST is displayed.



At this screen, there are two data entry fields. The first one prompts the user to enter a new customer site number (numeric entry, up to 8 digits in length). Enter a meaningful number, according to a numbering system already established, and press the RETURN KEY.



The second field prompts the user to enter an Installed-At customer�s partial name (alpha numeric entry, 3 characters long). This field does not require data input when adding a new customer site number. It only requires input when retrieving an existing record for editing. In order to advance to the next data entry screen, leaving the second field empty, press the RETURN KEY.



If a new customer site number is being created, a flashing message in red text appears on the screen, asking for verification on whether or not this is a new customer site number. Enter a �Y� for YES, if it is and press the RETURN KEY, or �N� for NO, to exit the screen and press the RETURN KEY.



If a �Y� was entered at the previous prompt, the user is taken to another screen where the installation date and the warranty expire date both can be entered.



However, if the user is not certain of the exact dates, press the RETURN KEY twice, to accept the system default dates.

Warranty Exp.Date: 06/27/1999



The system does not allow duplicate customer site numbers. However, if a number being entered already exists in the system, S.A.M. brings up the customer site record assigned that number, because it assumes the user wants to edit or update that record.



Editing An Existing Customer Site Record (Option 71):



To edit or update information about an existing customer site record, select option 71 (Equipment Master: Add/Edit Records) from the File Processing Menu and press the RETURN KEY.



After the required password has been entered, a screen entitled ADD, EDIT EQUIPMENT SITE-# EQUIPMENT LIST is displayed.



At this screen, there are two data entry fields. The first one prompts the user to enter a customer site number (numeric entry, up to 8 digits in length). If however, the user cannot remember the customer�s site number, leave this field blank and press the RETURN KEY to advance to the next field.





The second field prompts the user to enter an Installed-At customer�s partial name (alpha numeric entry, 3 characters long). Enter the first 3 letters of the customer�s name and press the RETURN KEY to advance to the next data entry screen



If the user entered the actual customer site number, the record requested appears on a screen entitled CHANGE EXISTING EQUIPMENT-CONFIGURATION. Use the ARROW KEYS to move the cursor to the fields that need editing. With the changes made, press the PAGE UP/PAGE DOWN KEY to exit back to the File Processing Menu.



However, if the user enters the Installed-At customer�s partial name, the system displays a list of all the customer names that begin with the 3 letters entered.

+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ Sample Screen: Territory Update



This option automatically updates the equipment master file, by assigning territory numbers, sales and service representative numbers, service zones, and county tax codes, to all the customer site records, according to the postal/zip code table already set up.



To run the territory update, select option 75 (Equipment Master: Territory Update) from the File Processing Menu and press the RETURN KEY. Continue by entering �S� at the prompt to start the process and press the RETURN KEY, or enter �C� to cancel and press the RETURN KEY to exit back to the File Processing Menu.



The user must again verify whether or not to proceed. Enter �Y� for YES or �N� for NO and press the RETURN KEY.



The five fields effected by running the territory update include:

1. Sales Rep. #

2. Sales Territory #

3. Service Zone

4. Service Technician # (up to 3 technicians can be assigned to this territory.)

5. County tax code



Something to keep in mind before choosing to run the territory update, is that this procedure will update all the records in the equipment master file, overwriting any sales representative numbers, sales territory numbers, service zones, and service representative numbers previously entered.

It is recommended the territory update be included as part of the Day End system maintenance program, therefore keeping all the records accessible during regular business hours.

9� VENDOR MASTER FILE

The system automatically assigns a new number if the user chooses to leave the field empty by pressing the RETURN KEY.



The second field prompts the user to enter a vendor�s partial name (alpha numeric entry, 3 characters long). This field does not require data input when adding a new vendor. It only requires input when retrieving an existing vendor record. In order to advance the cursor to the next field, leaving the second field empty, press the RETURN KEY.



At the third field the user must enter a �Y� for YES, to verify that a new vendor is being created, or �N� for NO to exit the screen.

Do you wish to Enter a NEW VENDOR ? (Y=Yes / N=No) : __





The system does not allow duplicate vendor numbers. However, if a number being entered already exists in the system, S.A.M. brings up the vendor record assigned that number, because it assumes the user wants to edit or update that record.

To edit or update information about an existing vendor, select option 1 (Vendor File: Add/Edit a Vendor) from the Vendor Master Processing Menu and press the RETURN KEY.



With the screen entitled ADD/EDIT A VENDOR displayed, there are three data entry fields. The first one, prompts the user to enter a new vendor number (numeric entry, up to 8 digits in length). If however, the user cannot remember the vendor�s number, leave this field blank and press the RETURN KEY to advance to the next field.



The second field allows the user to enter the vendor�s partial name (alpha numeric entry, 3 characters long). Enter the first 3 letters of the vendor�s name and press the RETURN KEY to advance to the next field.



The third field prompts for a �Y� to be entered to verify that YES this is a new customer or �N� for NO to exit this screen. Leave this field blank and press the RETURN KEY.



If the user entered the actual vendor number, the record requested appears on a screen entitled CHANGE EXISTING VENDOR. Use the ARROW KEYS to move the cursor to the fields that need editing. With the changes made, press the PAGE UP/PAGE DOWN KEY as many times as necessary to exit back to the Vendor Master Processing Menu.



However, if the user enters the vendor�s partial name, the system displays a list of all the vendor names that begin with the 3 letters entered.

10� ON-LINE INQUIRIES


Using the on-line inquiry feature is the fastest way to view information stored by the system. However, the on-line inquiry only displays information. Changes to information stored by the system can only be accomplished at a data entry screen.



Updates made to certain records may not be reflected with an on-line inquiry. For example, updates, involving customer payments, physical inventory counts and service requests, entered but not yet processed, will not be reflected with an on-line inquiry.



As a method of data checking, for a large number of records, it is suggested the system�s listing feature be used instead of an on-line inquiry.
