Defining Sales Sources

The Eclipse implementation includes a set of standard sales sources that you can customize for the way you do business. Consider your sales source setup needs carefully. On a live system, changing sales source information makes prior period adjustments inaccurate. After you define your sales sources, you can either assign them to users or to terminals.

We recommend that you contact Eclipse Technical Support prior to changing sales sources.

To define a sales source:

From the System > System Programming > G/L Setup menu, select G/L Sales Sources to display the G/L Sales Source Maintenance screen.
Press Enter to close the warning message.
In the G/L Sales Source Description column, type the name of the sales source. For example, Inside Sales, Outside Sales, or Showroom Sales.
In the Stnd Post Extension, enter an abbreviation of up to eight alphabetic characters, including spaces, which the system uses as an internal system reference.
When you finish defining sales sources, press Esc to exit this screen and save the information.
