Custom General [U0712]

Contents

 

Introduction

The Custom General update [U0712] is used to add, change, or delete selected LeasePak operational parameters.

The operational parameters are account aliases and screen defaults, device and printer parameters, end of period parameters, custom letter parameters (for other LeasePak letters), custom field names, and miscellaneous information. These parameters affect the entire database (i.e., one set of parameters for all portfolios). Therefore, Custom General parameters should be established during LeasePak installation.

In order for changes through this update to take effect, LeasePak users must log out of LeasePak and log back in. That is, if a user makes changes through the Custom General update [U0712], no users will see the new changes until they first log out and log back in.

Note: Because these parameters affect the entire database, this update is not locked during end of period processing. Although changes to this update do not affect the actual processing of end of period modules, the end of period parameters should not be updated while any end of period is running.

Note: Additional parameters such as client customizations, new lease customizations, and payoff customizations may be established at the portfolio level using the Portfolio update [U0212]. Refer to this update for more information.

 

This screen is used to select the customization change option desired.

END OF PERIOD CUSTOMIZATIONS
This option allows the user to determine if End of Day and End of Month processes should journal, and to set the maximum file size for the journal files.

FIELD CUSTOMIZATIONS
This option is used to add, change, or delete custom field names.

LETTER CUSTOMIZATIONS
This option allows the user to customize the names of LeasePak’s New Lease and Closed Lease custom letters, and to determine which of these letters are used. LeasePak’s New Lease and Closed Lease custom letters must first be established through this Letter Customizations section, before their text may be entered in the Custom Letters update [U0715].

MISCELLANEOUS CUSTOMIZATIONS
This option is used to add, change, or delete miscellaneous parameters, such as CLIENT NUMBERING METHOD, LEASE/APPLICATION NUMBERING METHOD, and OPERATOR USER NAME.

 

Account Customizations

This screen is used to add, change or delete account aliases and lease screen default values.

Account aliases are customizable names for selected LeasePak fields. These aliases appear on all reports and update screens used within LeasePak, replacing the original field names. Short aliases are used when space is not available for the full alias. Initial values for all alias fields are supplied by LeasePak and may be changed by the user. The APPLICATION account name appears only if the Application Tracking module is purchased.

Defaults are initial field values automatically displayed on reports and update screens. Their purpose is to reduce the data entry required for lease "key" fields. Screen defaults should be considered if the majority of leases have the same value for any of these key fields. Distinct defaults may be established for portfolio, company, region, and office.

Note: The values for portfolio, company, region, and/or office entered in the Security update [U0706] for individual user access override any default values for portfolio, company, region, and/or office entered in the Custom General update [U0712]. For example, if 1 is entered as company default in the Custom General update [U0712], and 2 is entered as company default in the Security update [U0706] for a particular user, then that user’s selection screens default to 2 for the company portion of the lease key.

 

Device and Printer Customizations

This screen is used to enter the "form type" for the various types of paper. Form types are system parameters, so the system manager should always be consulted before the form type values are changed.

 

This screen is used to specify device and printer destinations. These destinations are used to send reports to a printer or other device. Users can select 2 default report destinations from this list of printers and devices using the Report Profile function key. Refer to the section on the Report Profile of Getting Around in LeasePak for more information.

When new users are added to LeasePak, their Report Profile will be automatically defined using the first 2 destinations on this screen as their default report destinations. Therefore, the first 2 entries on this screen should be the printers used by most users.

A maximum of 80 device and printer destinations may be specified.

Two command files are provided by McCue Systems as examples: COM:MAILRPT.COM and COM:MULTIQUEUES.COM. The COM:MAILRPT.COM command file works as it is but can be modified to use a different editor to edit the mail message before sending it. The COM:MULTIQUEUES.COM command file is used to send a report to more than one queue. This command file needs to be modified with specific queue names to work properly. Other command files can also be created by using these as examples.

 

End of Period Customizations

This option is used to enter or modify various End of Period parameters.

 

Field Customizations

This option is used to customize field in the Application Tracking module names which appear on reports. Changes made here are not reflected on update screens. An additional procedure can be performed by your System Administrator to change the words which appear in field labels, menus, title bars, etc. on update screens. Refer to the LeasePak System Administration Guide.

 

Miscellaneous Customizations

This screen is used to add, change, or delete miscellaneous LeasePak parameters.

Note: LeasePak allows for an alternate calculation for percent of schedule based on the weighted share of the total payment amount. See EBV Payoff Method in the Calculations Document of the Reference Guide

Note: LeasePak allows the user to change the asset payment amount in Rebook [U0116] and the percent of schedule used in the tax calculations, after the lease has been booked when the Asset Percentage Calc Method (A/P) field is set to P.

This does not affect the Asset Payment Amount field in Book Lease Update [U0101] and may not be changed unless in Rebook [U0116].

 

This screen allows parameters to be set for Cash Control Clean up, CCA program and Credit Bureau Extract defaults to be added.
