You use this program to configure how you want to store your summary sales history information (configured by associating key area selections to a unique code).
The sequence in which you define the summary keys determines the order in which the summary sales history is stored and printed.
The number of codes you define determines the extent to which you are able to sequence and subtotal the Sales History report. You can define more than one summary code with the same set of summary keys (in the same order). This enables you to define different targets for the same set of data.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Code |
Indicates the summary code you are currently maintaining. |
| Name | Describes the summary code. |
| Key area one |
Indicates the first key (index) that must be used for this code. It is the primary key (index) under which the sales analysis summary records will be stored. You can select one of the following options for this key: Salesperson, Branch, Order type, Customer class, Geographic area, Customer, Warehouse, Department, Product class or Blank. The stock code may only be assigned to Key area two. Therefore, if you want to use the stock code as the first (primary) key, you need to select Blank as the option for Key area one and Stock Code as the option for Key area two. |
| Key area two |
Indicates the second key (index) that must be used for this code. It is the secondary key for the sales analysis summary records, providing Blank was not selected as the key for key area one. You can select one of the following options for this key: Salesperson, Branch, Order type, Customer class, Geographic area, Customer, Warehouse, Department, Product class, Stock code or Blank. Only once a key is assigned to Key area one can you select a key from Key area two. If you selected Blank for Key area one, then you cannot select Blank for Key area two as well. |
| Key area three |
Indicates the third key (index) that must be used for this code. It is the third key for the sales analysis summary records. You can select one of the following options for this key: Salesperson, Branch, Order type, Customer class, Geographic area, Customer, Warehouse, Department or Product class. Only once a key is assigned to Key area two can you select a key from Key area 3. |
