	General	Use the costing method selected in the business rules when making a sales transaction. If you are using the FIFO or LIFO costing method the cost of each serial number will be brought into the sales transactions.
	Specific Item	Look at the cost of each individual serial number to bring in the cost of a sales transaction.
	Note: The default, when setting up a new serialized item, will be the selection you made in the business rules function for the option serialized cost default. The default is set to Specific Item. When an update or data migration is done from a prior version the default will be set to Specific Item, which is how it works in older version of Traverse.

General Ledger: Select Yes to interface Inventory with General Ledger; otherwise, select No. When Inventory is interfaced with General Ledger, posting in Inventory makes entries in the GL journal for transactions that affect the ledger, such as cost-of-goods-sold adjustments.

Allow Service Items in Purchases: Select Yes to allow service items to be added to purchase orders; otherwise, select No.

Audit Items: Select Yes to audit transactional activity against inventory items; otherwise, select No. If you want to review the inventory item activity in the audit log, use the SM Audit Explorer and filter the audit log with the function criteria: INItemAudit.

Automatically Create Vendor Purchase Information: Select Yes to automatically create vendor purchase information; otherwise, select No. This will automatically add vendors to the vendor tab in the Item Locations function when an item is purchased from a vendor for a location, if the vendor is not entered on the tab.

Check for Alias on Screens: Select Yes to check for alias names you have set up in the Item ID field on function and transactions screens; otherwise, select No. When you select Yes and there are screens that have the ellipse button () in the item ID field, it will use the alias. For example, if the Item ID field has an ellipses (indicates a lookup), you can type an alias into the field instead of the actual item ID. If the lookup is not available in the item ID field, the alias is not used.

You can think of the Alias functionality as suitable for simplified data entry. The alias does not print on forms or reports, with the exceptions of the Item Detail Master List, and the Purchase Order if, for a specific vendor, you have an alias set up under the heading "Vendor Part Number".

Costing Method: Select the costing method to use.

	Select
	LIFO (last in first out)
	FIFO (first in first out)
	Average Cost See the IN Cost Adjustments Knowledge Base article for more information.
	Standard Cost

Enforce Unique UPC: Select Yes to enforce a unique UPC for each item/UOM combination; otherwise, select No . By default, you can assign the same UPC to multiple units of measure for an item. By setting this rule to Yes, you must create a different UPC code for each unit of measure for an item.

Load All Items in Setup:Select Yes to populate your Items setup screen with item details and have the next record activated. Set this rule to No to improve the performance of the Items maintenance function. When you have a very large number of items, this will help the screen open faster. When the rule is set to No, the Items maintenance screen will open with no data presented and the navigation bar will be disabled. The item lookup and auto-complete functionality in the Item ID field remain.

Zero Quantity Sales Costing: Select the cost value (average, last, base, or standard) to use when you enter sales transactions with zero or negative quantities on hand and you are using the LIFO or FIFO costing method. Enter the Average, Last, Base, and Standard costs on the Item Locations screen.

Default/No Bins Only: This option is added for users that do not have the Warehouse Management application installed. If you select Yes, AND a default bin is assigned to the item location, the physical inventory quantity is assumed to be in the default bin. The default value of this option is No, which indicates Traverse will not track inventory quantity at the bin/container level. Traverse does not track inventory quantity at the bin/container level if Warehouse Management is not installed. This option is always No if Warehouse Management is installed; that functionality is handled by Warehouse Management.

Exclude Picked Quantity: Select Yes to exclude inventory items that are already picked for a production order, work order, or sales order from the physical inventory count; otherwise, select No. When you select No, the value of items that have been picked for Sales Orders, using Warehouse Management, Record Picked Orders, will not be included on the physical inventory, Physical Counts Valuation Report. When you select Yes, the counted quantity will not include the picked quantity, but the value will be included on the report for those items picked in Warehouse Management.

Past Due Color: Select the color to use when the Current Session Date is after the Finished Good’s Estimated Start Date and there is no activity for the production order/release as of the Estimated Start Date.

• Activity for any requirement of the production order release as of the estimated start date qualifies as progress to defer the “late” status.
• If a process is scheduled to start on Monday, it cannot be “Late” until Tuesday. If there is no activity recorded on Monday, the process will always be listed as “Late” regardless of the activity recorded on any days after Monday.

Default Undefined Inventory Account: Select the account you want to use as your default undefined inventory account.

Group Code: Enter the number of hours per pay period for each group code as needed. The Calculate Checks function uses this number of hours for salaried employees. Since there is no need to enter a transaction for salaried employees we need to enter the hours here. The number of hours can be used to calculate sick and vacation accrual time. This function can also be used to group your employees by pay period. Each employee must have a group code assigned at setup.

DCB Limit: Enter the DCB limit for dependent care benefits.

Default Bank ID: Select the default bank ID you want to use when calculating checks. This bank account will default into the Bank Account ID field on the Calculate Checks screen and can be changed if you select No for the Use Only the Default Bank ID option in the Miscellaneous section of the business rules.

Minimum Wage: Enter the minimum wage. This is used in conjunction with the minimum wage code and adjust to minimum in the employee setup, to use as the minimum wage base to calculate the wages required to reach minimum pay.

Minimum Wage Code: Select the default minimum wage code. This is used with the Adjust to Minimum option in the employee setup. It is meant to ensure that workers that are not paid minimum wages and receive tips, will be paid at least minimum wages with their hourly wage plus tips. If the combination of the wages plus tips does not calculate to the minimum wage, an adjustment transaction is added to get their wages plus tips to equal minimum wages for the number of hours they worked. This code is used to add that adjustment transaction.

FT Threshold: Accept or edit the minimum number of hours an employee must work per month to be considered a full-time employee. The FT Threshold is the threshold for the number of hours an employee works in a month. Federal guidelines define full-time employees as those who work at least 130 hours per month (approximately 30 hours per week). A part-time employee is one who works less than 30 hours per week (or 120 hours per month).

FTE Divisor: Accept or edit the maximum number of hours an employee must work per month to be classified as a part-time employee. The FTE Divisor is the maximum number of hours an employee must work per month to be classified as a part-time employee, and is used to calculate the number of part time employees. The number of FTE employees is determined by totaling all the hours worked by part-time employees in a month (up to a maximum of 120 hours for any part-time employee), dividing those hours by 120 (the equivalent of 30 hours times four weeks), and rounding down to the nearest whole number. If the result of this calculation is less than one but greater than zero, the number of FTE employees is one.

Bank Reconciliation: Select Yes to interface Payroll to Bank Reconciliation; otherwise, select No. If Payroll is interfaced with Bank Reconciliation, posting checks in Payroll creates summary disbursement entries for the checks in the Bank Reconciliation transactions file for the bank account you specify.

General Ledger: Select Yes to interface Payroll to General Ledger; otherwise, select No. When Payroll is interfaced with General Ledger, posting in Payroll makes summary entries (such as gross wages payable, taxes and other deductions withheld, net pay, and payroll expenses incurred) in the General Ledger Journal for transactions that affect the ledger.

Watermark Text for Reprinted Checks: Enter text to appear on reprinted checks. Checks may be reprinted from the Check History View under the Interactive Views menu.

Accounting Basis: Select Cash to indicate the cash basis method for distributing payroll expenses. The cash basis method (default) does not affect GL until the employee is paid for the wages earned during the prior pay cycle (posting of checks). Manual GL entries are required to identify the prior fiscal period payroll liability so the liability appears correctly on the financial statements. Select Accrual to indicate the accrual basis method for distributing payroll expenses. The accrual basis method generates GL entries during the given pay cycle as the wages are earned by the employees (posting of transactions). The entries are offset when the Employee is paid for the wages earned during the prior pay cycle (posting of checks). These GL entries appear on the financial statements.

Allow Editing after Printing: Select Yes to allow editing after printing checks; otherwise, select No. If you select Yes you will be allowed to edit withholdings, deductions and employer costs on calculated checks, or earnings plus any other amounts for manual checks, after checks have been printed. If you select No, you will not be allowed to edit any amounts on checks in manual checks once checks have been printed.

Employer Taxes/Costs to Home or Worked Department: Select whether to post employer-paid taxes, wage expenses and deductions to the employee's Home department or to the department(s) in which he/she Worked in during the pay period. If no time tickets are entered for a salaried employee, the employer withholdings, earnings and deductions are always posted to the Home department selected in the Department field on the Pay tab in the Employee Information function. If time tickets are entered for a salaried employee for working in different departments, but Home has been selected for this option, the employer withholdings, earning expenses and deductions will still be posted to the employee's home department.

Load All Employees in Setup: Select Yes to to populate your Employee Information setup screen with employee details and have the Next Record (navigation bar) activated. Set this rule to No to improve the performance of the Employee maintenance function. When you have a very large number of employees, this will help the screen open faster. When the rule is set to No, the Employee Information maintenance screen will open with no data presented and the navigation bar will be disabled. The employee lookup and auto-complete functionality in the Employee ID field remain..

Print Company Name on Checks: Select Yes to print the company name on payroll checks; otherwise, select No.
