Salesperson Settings
Access
Support Files: Zip Code.
Use this file to maintain information on salespeople within your company. The order entry routines provide for the entry of a salesperson code and accept only codes that have been established within this file. Therefore, use this routine to enter your salespeople into the system. We suggest that the salesperson code match the operator's initials specified in the Create a User file.
STORIS comes delivered with a "House" salesperson account (ZZZ). If your system is set up to default a salesperson code during order entry (that is, if the box is blank at the Do Not Default Salesperson field in the Point of Sale Control Settings), the system first checks the Salesperson 1 and Salesperson 2 fields in the Customer Settings to find a default salesperson for the selected customer. If those fields are empty, the House account defaults.
You cannot delete salespersons for whom activity exists in the system, including Up System activity.
