Infrastructure
Multi-Location
- Complete Audit Trail
- 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 by location
- Set different costing by location
- Integration into reporting system to eliminate double handling
Menu Level Security
- Access control on menu item level
- Common user-interface, logical hierarchy of menus; vertical/ sideways/
pull-down/ pop-up and intuitive design reduces errors
Entity Level Security
- Enable separate work environments for management control over cost/profit centres, subsidiaries or
independent business units. This is in addition to standard Division, Branch and Centre control
- 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
- Control by Sub ledger accounts
- Use training entities where users are allowed to train and experiment without affecting the
integrity of live data
Security Management
- User Class definition - unlimited number of classes may be defined
- Security Group definition
- Multi-level user password protection
- Access protection on Entity level
- Restrict user class level access to certain operating periods
- User + Entity level: Access to administrative functions; Ability to change user classes;
Maximum write-off limits and post dating permissions; General Journal access; Access to printers;
Access to vendor class, groups and types; Access to specific bank accounts;
Access to customer class, groups and types.Requisition approval levels
- User level: Access by day of week; Access by time of day; Access to origin/location e.g. computer
host name
- User class and Security group: Access to menus and procedures
Key Data
- Define business units within an entity and register valid warehouses per business unit
- Define Country/location codes and exchange rates
- Define unlimited number of business terms (discount/interest rates)
- Specify warehouses with address, contact persons and Division, Branch and Centre allocation
- Specify standard sales and dunning messages to appear on forms
- Presentation of the date - year/month/day - sequence is user selectable
System Level Security
- Set user preferences for cheque printing
- Allocate task to a specific printer
- Control post dating options
- 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
- Set costing rules
Background Process Level Security
- Schedule a job to a specific date/time or after completion of another job
- View all failed background process transactions including data, error messages, date/time,
module and process
- Monitor throughput of background process with status update per user defined time interval
- 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 permissible form types
- Define printer control codes per printer model
- 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
- Audit trail option and updating function for user defined tables - track record updates to content, user
and date of change
- 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
