13. Lock out system during day-end/month-end -Set to 'Y' to allow access only to Menu 19 - Inquiry, during the day-end / month-end routine. 
14. Zero out non-stock items with no sales in 'xxx' days -Enter the number of days before Non-stock items (NS items or items that have a 'T' in field 27 of product master m-12.3.2.2) with zero on-hand, zero on-order, zero in-pick, have cost(s) and sell price(s) zeroed out.  If this field is left blank, no items cost and sell will be zeroed out. 
15.  Update serialized inventory flag from Corp price trans - Set to 'Y' to accept the serialized inventory flag transmitted from Corp. Once the flag is set, it will only update from the current price tranmission.  If you would like all catalog items to be updated, set the flag before the full catalog price update during the month-end process, or run menu 32.20.
16.  Update taxable product flag from Corp price trans - Set to 'Y' to accept the taxable product flag transmitted from Corp. Once the flag is set, it will only update from the current price tranmission.  If you would like all catalog items to be updated, set the flag before the full catalog price update during the month-end process, or run menu 32.20.
17. Update Balance A/R Batches during EOD (Y/N) - An EOD and EOM Cash Reconciliation report which breaks out the AR money collected by store by batch.  Cash with orders is added at the bottom to account for total cash activity.  EOD report number is 01-171.  EOM report number is 01-127.  In order for this to work properly, menu 35.6, screen 2, #17 must be set to Y.  The system will close balanced AR batches during EOD, which will generate EOD report 01-173.  This is only meant to be a safety net - it is still recommended that users balance AR batches daily before EOD.
18. Aged by:  1) Month-end 2)  Due Dt. 3)  Inv. Dt. - Select whether the system ages based on invoice date, due date or as is (from end of month).  This parameter affects the aging buckets in Menu 4.1.9 and aging reports.

    1. Month-end - same aging calculation as before, credits will age against overdue balances.
    2. Due Date – invoices will age based on the number of days past the due date.
    3. Invoice Date – Aging will be based on the number of days since the invoice was run.
        Note:  If this parameter is not updated - everything will continue as normal

    You may change the parameter daily to see which method best serves your needs; however, it will need to run through an EOD before you’ll see the change in aging. 

19. Don't Set Serial Flag on Store Transfers (7.1A) - If you do not want a prompt for serial numbers on store transfers on PO Rolldown (7.1A) Set this flag to N. Default is Y.
20. Menu-4.1.9:  1)<ENTER>=next page  2)<ENTER>=totals - If option '1' is selected, then hitting enter in Menu 4.1.9 will take the user to the next screen.  If option '2' is select (default option), totals will display when enter is selected in Menu 4.1.9.
