Set Up Application Options

1. Display the Options Configuration window.

2. Click ID. Using the list below, enter the ID number of the option, and click OK. Click in the Current Value column, select the desired setting, and click Change. Repeat this process for all options in the list. For more information about a particular option, click its blue underlined text.

• ID# 1404 AIMI Store IDThis option defines the cross reference between the Eagle Store Number and the AIMI eBook Pro FFL ID. Eagle will only allow AIMI 4473 forms to be available to this Eagle store from the designated AIMI FFL ID.

• ID# 1405 AIMI SKU to useWhen Eagle for Windows Point of Sale imports an item from AIMI eBook Pro, it attempts to use the SKU defined in AIMI. This option defines the SKU Eagle for Windows Point of Sale uses if the item in the AIMI interface does not exist in the Eagle item file.
  

• ID# 1406 ATF form 4473 Status Available to import via the AIMI InterfaceSelect the ATF form 4473 status types you want to be able to import into Eagle for Windows Point of Sale from AIMI eBooks Pro. Only ATF 4473 forms exported from AIMI with the selected status types display in the grid and are available for import.

• ID# 1407 AIMI Price to UseThis option determines how items imported from AIMI eBooks Pro are priced. Selecting option E will cause Eagle to calculate the customer specific price based on standard Eagle pricing practices. The clerk will be prompted to enter a price in POS if the item is set to Keep Prices = N or a price does not exist on Eagle.
  Setting this option to A causes the interface to use the price coming from AIMI. If the import file from AIMI does not include a price, the import uses the price as calculated by Eagle.

(Optional) Set Up Serial Numbers

If you want to look up firearm sales by serial number in your invoice archive (QuickRecall), set up your firearm items as serial number items in Inventory Maintenance (Tally field on the Codes tab = S). That way, the system posts the first 14 characters of the serial number from your Eagle system in the descriptor line, which allows lookup by serial number in QuickRecall.
