This option allows you to set the prime index format for each of the application databases including the batch and batch matrix files.
The default format for the batch file is UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU – this allows codes to be any combination on letters and numbers. This format is used within the Batch Enquiry function in batch tracking or where the batch format is blank on the stock record. If using a global sequence number for batch/serial generation (discussed within System Profiles later) then this format should be set as 99999999 (eight numbers). The default format for the matrix file is AAA999 – this allows three letters followed by three numbers.
The ‘Company Name’ displayed here is used as the name in all reports including the batch and transaction reports.
