Order Manager
Version 8
Monsoon OMS uses hundreds of system parameters to tailor the program to a merchant's way of doing business.
Each system parameter is associated with a parameter group, based on its function.
One way of viewing system parameters is to select a specific Parameter Group at the Set System Parameters screen. It is also possible to search for a parameter by entering a portion of its name.
While some parameters could logically belong to more than one parameter group, the program only assigns a parameter to a single group. Be sure to look for other related group names when researching the available parameters for a particular function.
To change a system parameter, go to the Main Menu>Settings>System Functions>Set System Parameters, or select System Parameters from the Quick Clicks on the Main Menu accordion, provided it has not been deleted by the user.
For instructions, review the Knowledge Base topic, Set System Parameters.

If TRUE, the program will add a Note whenever you send a drop-ship purchase order . |
DropShipAutoFaxTemplate |
Default template for drop-ship purchase orders sent by automated fax. Can be overridden by settings for individual Suppliers. |
DropShipAutoOrder |
If TRUE, drop-ship purchase orders will be created automatically as you import orders. POs will only be created for Approved orders, and only for items with Primary Suppliers. WARNING: THIS IS A POTENTIAL SECURITY PROBLEM, SINCE CUSTOMERS CAN PLACE ORDERS AND HAVE THEM DROP-SHIPPED TO THEM WITHOUT YOUR KNOWLEDGE. ONLY USE THIS OPTION IF YOU ARE WILLING TO ACCEPT THAT RISK!!! |

Name of person vendors should contact if there is a problem with a drop-ship order. |

E-mail address to which drop-ship vendors should sent confirmations. |

Default template used to print packing slips for drop-shipped items/orders. |
DropShipPackingSlipTemplateSubreport |
Custom subreport used with a custom packing slip BASED ON THE NEW STYLE OF PACKING SLIP ONLY. Classic style packing slips do not need a subreport specified. Custom subreport names MUST BE TYPED MANUALLY. Standard subreports listed here are in the New Style only. |
DropShipPhone |
Telephone number of person vendors should contact if there is a problem with a drop-ship order. |
DropShipPostProcessTracking |
Set to TRUE (default) to have the system process tracking numbers after posting Drop-Ship Tracking information. Set to False to avoid the tracking number processing to save time during drop-ship tracking posting. |
DropShipSetDate |
If TRUE, the program will assume that drop shipped items are shipped, and calculate the actual ship date automatically. If FALSE, the program will leave the ship date for drop shipped items blank, and fill them in when you set the Actual Shipped Date. |
DropShipShowAsShipped |
By default the Monsoon Order Manager will mark drop-ships as "backordered" (BO) rather than Shipped if the DropShipSetDate is set to FALSE. If the ApproveOrdersWithDropShips parameter is set to TRUE, you will need to set this parameter to TRUE to have Monsoon Order Manager mark the drop-ship items as "Shipped" rather than "BO". This will allow Monsoon Order Manager to approve the order because there will be something to ship and Monsoon Order Manager will show a "balance due" for the sale (for use if you have the ChargeCardsAtImport parameter set to TRUE). |
DropShipUsePOSystem |
Set this option to TRUE to be able to manage your drop-ship orders using the Purchase Order System. This will allow you to mark Drop-Ship POs as having been shipped and will also allow you to track invoices against the Drop-Ship POs |
GetDropShipCostFromSupplier |
If using FIFO Inventory Tracking, cost for a drop-ship item is pulled from the FIFO inventory record(s). If you want the cost for a drop-ship item to come directly from the supplier , set this parameter to TRUE |
UseBatchDropShip |
Set to TRUE to allow batch drop ships to be processed from the Settings>Shipping Functions>Batch Drop Ship link |
ViewDropShipEmails |
If TRUE, when you select one of the Order drop-ship buttons (Selected Item, All from Selected Supplier or All), if the drop-ship order is to be e-mailed, you will be able to preview and edit the e-mail before sending it. |
