Defining Sales Sources

The system 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:

  1. From the System > System Programming > G/L Setup menu, select G/L Sales Sources to display the G/L Sales Source Maintenance window.

  2. Click OK to close the warning message.

  3. In the G/L Sales Source Description column, type the name of the sales source. For example, Inside Sales, Outside Sales, or Showroom Sales.

  4. In the Standard Posting Extension, enter an abbreviation of up to eight alphabetic characters, including spaces, that the system uses as an internal system reference.

  5. Save your changes and exit the window.
