Business Unit Code
The business unit to be updated. This must have been created previously using Business Unit Create (BUC).
Pivot Currency
In a single currency environment, select the base currency. In a multi-currency environment, four currency values can be held on every transaction; base currency, transaction currency, second base/reporting currency and fourth currency. If a currency value is not entered on a transaction it can be calculated automatically. The pivot currency is the currency value via which the other currency values (1, 2, or 3) are calculated. If both base and second base currencies are defined for the business unit, then one of these must be the pivot. If only a base and transaction currency are defined then one of these must be the pivot.
Maximum Number of Periods
The maximum number of accounting periods in the financial year which applies to all SunSystems modules. The maximum is 999. This is typically 12 (or 13) to define monthly periods, 4 to define quarterly periods, 52 to support weekly periods or 365 for daily periods.
Decimal Separator
The character used to separate the integer part of an amount from the decimal places. Any non-numeric character is allowed.
Thousand Separator
The character used to separate thousands from hundreds, and millions from thousands, and so on. Any non-numeric character is allowed. This cannot be the same as the Decimal Separator.
Date Format
The date format determines how calendar dates are to be entered into SunSystems forms. It also determines how the dates are displayed and printed by default on reports. Three international standard options are available; European (dd/mm/yyyy), American (mm/dd/yyyy), and Oriental (yyyy/mm/dd). Month Format
Specifies if the month element of the date should appear in numerical format, for example '09', or alphabetical (character) format, for example 'Sep'. Date SeparatorThe character used to separate the day, month and year elements of dates. You can use any non-numeric character as a separator between the day/month and month/year, for example 28.02.91. This character can be used to enter dates, and also appears when dates are displayed or printed. For more information on Business Unit Setup see here. |
