Sales and Distribution Master Definitions
The installation of the Sales and Distribution Module and its integration with other functional areas of your Enterprise is achieved through a complex but very user-friendly procedure of Definitions. Definitions are the fundamental information about your organization, its resources and work processes that are mapped (installed) onto the ERP system at the time of implementation.
Some of these are classified as master definitions, which represent core information, which can be modified only with the highest authorization. The Sales and Distribution Master Definitions include Party, Charges, Charge Schemes, Agents, Territory, Customers, Product parameters and Products.
There are also some other definitions within other Reckoner modules (like finance). These must be completed before defining sales components. They are:
Accounts – Accounts for products, Accounts (Sub-ledgers) for parties, External accounts for parties.
Vouchers
Items (from Materials)
If you need more information on the Master Definitions contact your Reckoner Implementers or your System Administrator.
