The setup menu contains the forms used to maintain data variables used throughout SEMS. Normally these are set-up initially and are only changed when new business variables are required or when employees leave or are reassigned or new employees are hired.
Often these variables provide limitations or choices for drop down lists used throughout the system. For example an inside sales rep code required on a sales order must be classified as an inside sales rep in the setup process.
Setting up these choices often involves making business decisions, the implications and practices implied represent the range currently in use by SEMS users. Where a standard or best practice has been identified, that practice is set as the default setting.
