Global Search window -> Site # field -> Site
Search
Accounts Receivable Menu -> Customer Information -> SITE
button -> Site Search
Sites indicate where the equipment or services is being
used.
The site address information displays as it will print on the
document.
A flag in the Additional Information for
each customer can be set, forcing the operator to enter a valid
site code on each document for that customer, with the exception of
Point Of Sale Invoices.
A flag in the Required Document Information in the Company Contract Parameters can be set to ensure
that this Ship To City is a valid city registered in
City Tax Codes.
When the Ship To City is mandatory on documents, and there
is a 'Prov' and/or a 'Postal' code associated with the selected
city in the City Tax Codes table, then
these Province/Postal values will default to the Shipping address
when the city is entered on the address.
Customer and global sites are both setup in Customer Site Information.
- Determining the Site on a Document:
- If a Site is not a mandatory field, when the Site
Information window is opened on a document, the site address
initially reflects the customer's billing address, and can be
changed as required.
The site details entered in this situation, apply only to the
document and are not saved for the customer.
- Map and Directions from Store to Site:
- If the URL direction and map information has been entered in
the Mapping Tools section of the Address
Tools tab on the Software Integration, a
SHOW MAP button is provided on the Site
Information window to launch your firms preferred locator site
in a standard Web browser such as Internet Explorer, as outlined in
Map Location.
Site Service Interval:
- When this window is triggered to view an existing site and a
Service Interval has been defined in the Customer Site Information, the default is
displayed but can be over-typed as required when the site is
selected for a specific contract.
Refer to the Job Site Service Schedule on
details of this feature.
Delivery/Pickup -WinRoute:
- When an existing site is displayed the three Delivery/Pickup
values default from the Customer Site
Information and only display when WinRoute is activated
in the Software Integration, and when the
site search is generated from a rental document.
They are used by the WinRoute delivery/pickup scheduler to
calculate trucks and routes, and can be over-typed as required.
The Site Type is used to identify site neighbourhoods that
restrict certain types of trucks, and the Loading Dock and
Call First flags provide information to the driver.
To select an existing Site the following Site Search
option can be accessed from the window on the Site # field,
or if the Site is mandatory on each document as configured in the
Required Document Information in the Company Contract Parameters, the Site
Information window is skipped and the Site Search list
is generated to select a valid site.
Options are provided to add, change and delete the sites stored in
the Customer Site Information.

# field includes:

A global site is a Ship To location that is used by several
firms.
i.e. This would be the case if one company has several branches
each with their own Customer Number, and a site cost total is still
required.
(Each branch would have its own customer number ONLY if each branch
was individually responsible for paying its own invoices.)
This option is disabled it the search window was triggered from
the SITES button on Customer
Information.
