Save

Saves the listed strings in the Strings.stb file

Revert

Revert the listed strings to those last saved in the Strings.stb file

Find Text

Finds strings where text is matched. Opens the Find Text In Strings window. After the find, the list will be restricted to only those strings that are matched. If no lines are found to contain the text, the string list remains unchanged. If you hold the Shift key down when confirming the find, matched lines are selected in the list but it otherwise remains complete.

Inserts 20 new numbered strings after the last numbered string

Add Text

Adds strings from a text list, comma delimited. Opens the String Entry from Text window.

Delete

Deletes any selected lines from the list.

Export

Exports all strings to a text file in tab-delimited format.

Import

Imports strings from a text file in tab-delimited format and replaces existing or adds them to the current list.

To .usa

Saves selected lines to the ProgCode.usa file in your local Custom directory. You will be prompted for an optional version number that sets all the strings in the CMS file to apply only to than version.

If you operate this control after reading the contents from the CMS file, only those strings selected are saved. This provides you with a method of reorganising the strings you have previously saved to the CMS file.

Class List

List of class names (or other texts) mentioned in Proposed Action for all Bugs and Feature Additions.

Code List

List of codes for the class name selected in the left hand list.

Re-index

Selected tables will be re-indexed and then analyzed.

Delete

Selected table data will be deleted. All data will be lost. Several methods are employed depending on the server engine employed (delete, truncate, drop table and create).

WARNING: This is a very dangerous function. If you delete a table inappropriately you must recover your backup.

Analyze

The server engine’s optimiser uses statistics of value distribution in indexes to determine it’s strategy when collecting data. These statistics are collected using the ANALYZE command. This function should used periodically to ensure these statistics are up to date. Particularly after adding a large amount of data to the database.

Re-unite

Selected files will be validated for referential integrity.

Vacuum

A VACUUM will be performed on the entire database. This defragments and shrinks the database but can take some time and you must be the only user of the database.

nfc() Normalise

Selected files will have non-indexed character fields checked for Unicode normalisation and normalised using nfc() if needed. This function is available for V4.0000 onwards only. See the sub-section on Character Normalisation in the Unicode section of Keyword System Settings.

Check Key Values

This does not use selected tables from the list above. It specifically checks certain tables key fields for illegal characters and reports issues. No changes are made. An Alert Message window will report any errors it finds so that you can attend to them elsewhere in the program.

List

List of records. Click to select for maintenance. Use the delete key to remove selected lines from the list.

Selected hours

Selected lines total hours.

Check for Other Users

Re-set Part Process Quantities

To re-set part processed quantities for a selected part or all parts.

Process quantities are ‘Allocated to WO’, ‘Due to open SOs’, ‘Due from W/POs’ and ‘Kitted in WIP’ quantities in the Parts Master file. These quantities are maintained automatically during the processing of transactions made. There are two potential causes of loss of accuracy in these fields. Firstly, during transaction processing a computer interruption can cause the processing to terminate prematurely. Secondly, changes in BoM structure when an assembly is in mid-process (E.g. after a WO has been kitted but before it is completed). Re-setting the quantities uses the Bills of Materials and Sales, Purchase and Works Orders files.

When you select the button you will be asked whether you want to re-set an individual part or all parts. If individual, a part selection dialog will come forward.

With either option an Alert Message will report the results of the operation.

TIP: The accuracy of part process quantities can be readily seen in the Processing Analysis window from the “Inventory History” menu off the “Process” menu. When you build the processing analysis list the calculated values of process quantities should be the same as those saved in the parts record. If there is any discrepancy, you should re-set the quantities.

Re-set Customer Current Values

To re-set current account balance and on-order value for a selected customer or all customers.

The On-order value and Outstanding invoice value fields are maintained in Customer records during sales order and dispatch transactions. During transaction processing a computer interruption can cause the processing to terminate prematurely, leading to inaccurate values. Re-setting the values will correct this damage.

When you select the button you will be asked whether you want to re-set an individual customer or all customers. If individual, a customer selection dialog will come forward.

With either option an Alert Message will report the results of the operation.

Re-set Suppliers Current Values

To re-set current account balance and on-order value for a selected supplier or all suppliers.

The On-order value field is maintained in the Supplier records during purchase order and receipt transactions. During transaction processing a computer interruption can cause the processing to terminate prematurely, leading to inaccurate values. Re-setting the values will correct this damage.

When you select the button you will be asked whether you want to re-set an individual supplier or all suppliers. If individual, a supplier selection dialog will come forward.

With either option an Alert Message will report the results of the operation.

Re-set General Ledger Balances

To re-set all account balances and turnover values in the General Ledger.

The Period Turnover value field and Current balance is maintained in general ledger accounts during transactions. During transaction processing a computer interruption can cause the processing to terminate prematurely, leading to inaccurate values. Re-setting the values will correct this damage.

The Reset General Ledger window will open.

You can, if you wish also update the Last Year Turnover values by entering the number of periods (usually 12) in the preceding year. If you leave this blank, the system will not re-calculate this value.
An Alert Message will report the results of the operation.

Re-organise Bills of Material

Re-organise BoM will re-calculate all part lowest level numbers. These are necessary for MRP forecasting and product costing. On successful conclusion the auto-calculate lowest level numbers system preference is re-set.

For performance and forecasting reasons, each part has a Lowest Level Number field maintained for it. The value of this number indicates the lowest point in any BoM structure that the component occurs. A part which is not a component has a 0 value. The structure of any BoM is in layers; assembly, sub-assembly, sub-sub-assembly… etc and finally component. The lowest level numbers indicate the maximum depth that the part occurs in the entire BoM file. Maintenance of the lowest level numbers of parts is done automatically within BoM maintenance. However, if during any of this maintenance processing a computer error occurs, such as a power failure or network interruption, the accuracy of the lowest level numbers can be destroyed. Inaccurate lowest level numbers will lead to inaccurate and misleading MRP results or rolled-up current costs.

This procedure re-builds all part’s lowest-level values by walking through each BoM structure on file. It will take some time, depending of the extent of the BoM file. The procedure should be run whenever an illicit interruption occurs during BoM maintenance data updates or if the validity of MRP results is in question.

At the successful completion of this process the System Preference “BoM Lowest Level Numbers automatically adjusted” control is ALWAYS set ON. “MRP processing” and the “Roll-up assembly current costs” routine can not be run when the this control is OFF.
