Store Groups: Options Setup

This topic explains the options that must be set up in order to use the Store Groups feature.

Set Up Store Group 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 in the list, click on its blue underlined text.

ID# 62— Allow setting up store groupsThis option must be set to Yes to activate the Store Groups feature.

ID# 8377— Store Group to use for item displayThis option allows you to specify the list of stores to display, and the order in which they display, in: 1) POS, when viewing the "ALL Stores" page of the Item display function, 2) POS, when viewing the Source Menu's "Available to Promise" page under the section labeled "Stores", and 3) Inventory Maintenance's "Available to Promise"  page when you click the hyperlink for Quantities.  

Set up this option for each of your stores.

Note: The last two functions are only available with Customer Order Management or Pick/Pack/Ship..   

ID# 8378— POS A/R Store GroupThis option only applies if option 440 "Cross Store Charges Allowed" is set to Yes or Warn.

Enter a store group to determine which customer accounts are eligible to invoice, return, or pay in your store. The system then verifies an account's eligibility based on the store indicated in the "St Account Opened" field in Customer Maintenance. This field must equal a store in the Store Group indicated in this option.  

If security bit 605 "Display customers from all stores in customer lists" is set to No, this option also controls which accounts display in the POS Customer drop-down list when doing a lookup by name, phone #, or alternate ID.
