SECTION
3.5.6I.4 - MAINTAIN ZONES
USAGE: To maintain the table of Freight zones for
Government Fuel Rebates.
DISCUSSION: When you sell Fuel, HiFinance uses this table to
compute any Government Fuel Rebates. Every state can be set with as many fuel
types as there are. Here you enter the rebate value and the General Ledger
code, which will be used to post the rebate value.
When you start the program, the screen will appear
as follows:
Enter a state code. These basically follow the
Australian postcodes. Eg. 2=NSW, 3=Victoria, etc.
When you enter a code, press <Enter> and the screen will look like this:
Here, the NSW zones have been entered. You will
notice that there are 5 zones and the sixth one is labelled NON-ZONED. You may call these whatever you like, as long as
they fit in 10 characters.
Use the cursor keys to move up and down within the 9
available zones. HiFinance will display any fuel rebates associated with the
zone. As an example here is ZONE 2 and its associated
information:
To add or change any information, press <F5>. The screen will insert a pointer to tell you which
rate you are modifying and then will allow you to change the rates associated
with the various fuels:
When you have entered all the rates, you may press <F10> to go back. Finally, you can save the information
but pressing <F10> again. If you press <ESC> at any time, your current changes will be ignored.
Note that:
A)
You
must enter at least one zone for each state, even if it reads NON-ZONED.
B)
You
should not leave a blank zone in the middle of the list, although not all 9
zones have to be filled in.
C)
You
cannot press <F5> to update the REBATE/CHARGE unless the zone has a name.
D)
If
you enter a REBATE/CHARGE you must also enter a GL-CODE.
E)
REBATES
are NEGATIVE numbers. This will reduce the price to the customer. If there is a
sur-charge, enter it as a POSITIVE number.
F)
The
GL-CODE must refer to an actual General Ledger
account.
G)
If
you wish to clear the name of a zone, you must first clear all REBATE/CHARGE and GL-CODE fields for that zone, for
all fuel types.
