SECTION 1.1.1U.2 - ADD A NEW COMMUNITY CARDS

 

USAGE: To add a new Community Card to the Community Card master-file. The functionality described here is similar to the standard DEBTOR ADD routine as described in SECTION 1.1.1. The difference is that it is specifically designed for add Community Cards to the system.

 

DISCUSSION: When you start this function, the computer will initially ask for a Card code. By default, it will start with a C. Insert a code and press <Enter>. Community Cards are normally in the format C99999999, where the 99999999 is the last eight digits on the card.

 

To return to the MAINTENANCE MENU, press <ESC>.

 

Once HiFinance has accepted the code you will be presented with a screen full of all the fields you can enter information into. The fields are as follows:

 

CREDITOR ACCOUNT          This is a compulsory field. It links the card to a Creditor. The Creditor must be in the Credit Card group. If you do not know the code, press <F9> to initiate a search.

 

FIRST NAME     This is not a compulsory field, but if the information is available, it should be entered here.

 

LAST NAME       This is not a compulsory field, but if the information is available, it should be entered here.

 

SALUTATION   This is not a compulsory field, but if the information is available, it should be entered here. This field is used to head letters and advertising information.

 

GENDER (M/F)      This is not a compulsory field, but if the information is available, it should be entered here. This field must either be blank or M or F.

 

TRADING NAME This is not a compulsory field, but if the information is available, it should be entered here.

 

ADDRESS 1,2 &3 These are not a compulsory field, but if the information is available, it should be entered here.

 

POSTCODE        If entered, this field must be numeric.

 

WORK PHONE   Enter the work phone number, if known.

 

FAX PHONE      Enter the fax phone number, if known.

 

MOBILE PHONE        Enter the mobile phone number, if known.

 

EMAIL                Enter a valid email address, if known.

 

OTHER KEY1, 2 & 3      These are user definable fields.

 

ABN                     This is not a compulsory field, but if the information is available, it should be entered here.

 

REGO                  This is not a compulsory field, but if the information is available, it should be entered here.

 

ACTIVE (Y/N)      This field defines if the card is active or not. If you decide to disable a card, set this field to N. This will retain any links from the Community Card Creditor and, as most databases that HiFinance sends data to do not actually delete cards, this is the only way to disable the usage on those external systems.

 

Several function keys are available while you enter the Card information (not all are available all the time):

 

<F4>                  This allows you to enter a note detailing any non-structured information.

 

<F9>                  This initiates a search through the Creditor master-file. The Creditor chosen will be automatically inserted into the Creditor Account field.

 

<F10>                This will end the input phase and cause HiFinance to test the screen ready for update. Pressing <F10> can save you having to press <Enter> all the way to the end of the screen.

 

<ESC>                This will abort the entry of the Card. If you press <ESC>, the Card will not be saved to the Community Card master-file.
