Initial Set up of Index Codes

File > System Manager > Index Codes

This file path takes you to the Index Code Maintenance box (headed as Marketing Project Code Maintenance as this is the type automatically selected).

Select New

Select customer index 1 and click the new button. This will bring up New Index Code window and will prompt you to enter a code eg. ’NEW’.

We recommend you enter ‘NEW’ for each initial index type.

Enter a description for each code

Click then hover your mouse over the description line next to the appropriate code and enter a description of the new code eg. NEW – New Customer Index Code 1/ New Customer Index Code 2/ New Parts Index Code 1 etc. Enter as many subcategories for each index code as required.

Index codes must be set up to allow you to enter new customers, parts, and suppliers.

Marketing Project codes are optional codes for Marketing, Customer and Sales data and are set up in the same way as the index codes.
