• 9097 Invoice AConneX OrdersSet this option to Yes to automatically invoice AConneX orders. To leave all inbound AConneX customer orders as open orders, set this option to No. 
• 9094 Copy AConneX into "authorized to chargeSet this option to Yes to label AConneX orders with “AConneX” in the Quick Recall “Auth. Charge” field.  
• 8585 AConneX automatically sells replacement part when insufficient quantitySet this option to Yes to automatically sell a replacement part when there is insufficient quantity of the ordered part to fill the order and a replacement part has been defined.
  
  Setting this option to Yes does the following: When there is insufficient quantity of the original part, automatically sell the replacement part. This takes place even if there is insufficient quantity of the replacement part.
  Setting this option to No does the following: The system does not automatically sell the replacement part, even when there is insufficient quantity of the original part.
• 8336 Alternate Item Type that identifies Replacement PartsUse this option to define the Alternate Item Type you have defined for identifying Replacement Parts. Alternate Item Types are defined in the Option's Misc Menu "Maintain Alternate Item Types."
• 9098 Automatically Create Transfers through AConneXUse this option to enable transfer requests received through AConneX to automatically create the transfer document in POS. A transfer request is only created if the requested store for a part number being requested is different than the store in which the customer is created. The transfer created will be left in the R-Requested state.
• 8583 AConneX Terminal NumberUse this option to assign a terminal for processing all incoming AConneX orders. This terminal must be used exclusively for AConneX orders. The terminal-based options for this terminal  govern how AConneX inquiries, order creation and invoicing, and printing are done. For example, the terminal-based options 190 "Display Qty NA Warning Message" and 110 "Display Backorder Prompt" govern if a part's quantity available is checked, and if so, whether the insufficient quantity is backordered.
  Note: The AConneX terminal is configured during the process of enabling AConneX on your system, so changes are normally not required.
• 8581 External invoice and order network printerUse this option to assign the network printer used for external orders such as AConneX for each store.
  Usually this does not change after AConneX is initially enabled for a store. The External invoice and order network printer for each store is configured during the process of enabling AConneX on your system.
