System Keys

System Keys are a set of global settings used by the application to determine how certain functions work. These settings will include such items as :-

System Keys

System Key	Typical Value	Description
BATCH EXPIRY TIME		A flag which is used to determine how the time portion of the Expiry Date is calculated. Can be - = or +
BATCH FORMAT	{YEAR1}{JULIAN_DAY}{PLANT}	Used to construct the batch number when creating/printing new Pallet Tickets (SSCC's)
BATCH REGEX	-	Optional Regular Expression which can be used to validate the Batch Number after user has edited by hand.
COMPANY NAME	My Company	Text that you want to appear at the top of reports.
DEFAULT BATCH STATUS	Restricted	Deprecated - no longer used. Now held in Material Master record.
DEFAULT HELPSET ID		Deprecated - no longer used. Help now linked to Wiki pages.
DEFAULT PALLET STATUS	Unrestricted	Deprecated - no longer used. Now held in Process Order record.

DESPATCH NUMBER	1	Used to determine the numeric element of the next despatch number.
DESPATCH NUMBER FORMAT	XX{NNNNNN}	Defines the structure of the Despatch Number. {NNN} indicates the number above. XX is a literal prefix.
EXPIRY DATE MODE	BATCH	Can be either BATCH or SSCC. This value should be set before go-live and not changed. BATCH will store the Expiry Date in the Batches table using the MATERIAL/BATCH NUMBER as the key. All production which shares the same Material and Batch will therefore have the same Expiry (Best Before End) date. The format of the Batch Number is defined above and can include a Julian Date component so that it automatically changes at midnight. SSCC mode will store the Expiry Date in the PALLET record and as such allow you to change the expiry date independently of the Batch Number.
