The System Management module is the backbone of all modules in the Infor Distribution FACTS system. It will accommodate hundreds of companies maintaining accurate file information and providing complete audit trails. This allows users the secure feeling that all information is traceable throughout the system. Instructional prompts, default values and the capability to back up to previous inputs promote both user efficiency and comfort in using the system.
Many of the programs in the main System Management module are advanced level programs and should not be accessed or changed by unauthorized users. This is especially true of System Management file maintenance programs.
These programs are available from the username drop-down on the FACTS Main screen.
These menus are on the System Management master menu.
System Installation-This menu is not addressed in user documentation. It is suggested that secured access to the System Installation menu is set in FACTS.
The system supports up to 980 terminals. For each terminal on the system, you can set a default branch, warehouse, department, salesperson and printer. This relieves each user of having to enter the correct information for these important fields. The system will automatically insert the correct information where necessary as set by the defaults. All reports throughout FACTS can be printed to a terminal. You can set a hex code per terminal to print 132 columns of information (if applicable and within the range of the terminal) when printing to the terminal. Hot keys can also be defined to each terminal.
The system supports up to 99 printers. For each printer you can set the compressed and standard print hex codes (as applicable based on the printer). At any time during processing, you can set the print size through the Set Standard/Compressed Print program. Each program in the system can also be set to a default printer by terminal. For example, when printing work orders from certain terminals, the system can automatically print the work orders on the warehouse printer.
