IV. MISYS/2000 SETUP NOTEBOOK (LEVEL 1)
1. ADDRESS TAB (L1- SETUP NOTEBOOK)

The Company Name and Address comes from Common Services the name, phone and fax
number can be specific to the MISys database.
2. INTERFACE TAB (L1 SETUP NOTEBOOK)
ACCPAC Accounts Payable Interface

Check the box if you want to be able to feed MISys/2000 invoicing information to the
ACCPAC Accounts Payable software.
Unless this option is enabled, there will be no opportunity to invoice purchase orders.
The ACCPAC Accounts Payable option is grayed out if version 4.2 of that software is not
installed and activated for your company.
This option can be enabled or disabled at any time.
ACCPAC Inventory Control Interface

Check the box if you want to be able to make stock transfers to and from the ACCPAC [sales]
Inventory Control software.
Unless this option is enabled, you cannot perform Sales Transfers.
The ACCPAC Inventory Control option is grayed out if version 4.2 of that software is not
installed and activated for your company.

MISys Primer
ACCPAC Order Entry Interface

Check the box if you want to be able to retrieve sales orders from the ACCPAC Order Entry
software.
Unless this option is enabled, you cannot retrieve sales orders.
The ACCPAC Order Entry option is grayed out if version 4.2 of that software is not installed
and activated for your company.
General Ledger Interface

G/L Interface drop down box:
None If you do not wish to have an integrated accounting system. With this option selected,
MISys/2000 will not create subledger journal entries.
Manual If you wish to integrate with a manual or foreign (non-ACCPAC) accounting system. With
this option selected, MISys/2000 will create subledger journal entries in an ASCII file
name MIGLTRAN.CSV. Use this option if you have the ACCPAC General Ledger but it is
located at a remote site.
ACCPAC Advantage If you wish to integrate MISys/2000 with the ACCPAC Advantage Series
General Ledger. With this option selected, MISys/2000 carries on a conversation with the
local ACCPAC General Ledger during each Period End process. If you have the
ACCPAC Advantage Series General Ledger, but it is located at a remote site, select the
Manual option instead.
ACCPAC Plus If you wish to integrate MISys/2000 with the ACCPAC Plus General Ledger (for
DOS). With this option selected, MISys/2000 creates a batch of subledger transactions in
a file named MIBATCH.DAT which is compatible with ACCPAC Plus General Ledger
version 5.x and above. If you have the ACCPAC Plus General Ledger, but it is located at
a remote site, ask your ACCPAC software consultant about moving this file from site to
site.
These options can be changed at any time. Their primary effect is during the Period End
process. If you have selected the None, Manual, or ACCPAC Plus options, skip over the
setup of the remaining ACCPAC General Ledger Interface options.
If you selected ACCPAC Advantage Series General Ledger Interface, you have several
options related to your G/L Account Structures.
In the MISys/2000 System there are three account segments: Item, Job, and Location. Since
each of these segments can carry an accounting implication, how MISys/2000 relates to your
General Ledger depends on how you map these MISys/2000 segments into corresponding
ACCPAC General Ledger segments.
The default "mapping" of the Item, Job, and Location segments is Overlay. In this mode,
MISys/2000 creates the subledger journal entries using an overlay of the Account Sets
associated with the Job, Item, and Location in the following order: (Job, Item, Location,
Default).
Using Overlay mapping for MISys/2000 transactions, the accounting implications of any
Location Account Set supersede the Default Account Set established in the MISys/2000
Setup options notebook.
If a Job is referenced in a transaction, then the Job Account Set supersedes the Item Account
Set, which supersedes the Location Account Set, which supersedes the Default Account Set.
Overlay accounting is provided primarily for those who are transitioning from MISys/DOS. If
you are setting up MISys/2000 anew, we highly recommend that you use the segmented
accounting options available with ACCPAC Advantage Series General Ledger.
As an alternative to Overlay mapping, MISys/2000 allows you to map its three segments to
any three corresponding segments in your ACCPAC General Ledger account structure.
Click one of the three MISys/2000 segments to select it. Then click the Type drop-down
arrow to view the available General Ledger account segments. Click to select the G/L
segment you wish to map the MISys segment to. In the field labeled Default, enter the code
you wish to appear as the default for this segment.

MISys Primer
Repeat this process for all three MISys/2000 segments, selecting either Overlay or a specific
account mapping and default.
Multiple Locations
Check the box if you wish to maintain multiple inventory locations. A Location may be a
separate stockroom, or a warehouse in a distant city.
If you enable this option, you will have to provide detailed information about the Locations
you have and the stocking levels for each item you maintain at them. MISys/2000 will require
you to enter a location for each transaction you make.
If you disable this option, you can enable it any time in the future. If you enable it, then wish
to disable it later, you will first have to transfer all stock out of the Locations and then delete
the Locations.
PO Tax Support
Check the box if you wish to calculate taxes of purchase orders. In general, this applies to
users whose jurisdictions tax purchases as well as sales (VAT, GST, etc.).
If you enable this option, you will have to set up the tax tables in the ACCPAC Tax Services
application. It will also require you to establish Tax Authorities for your items and Tax Groups
for your suppliers.
If you disable this option, you can enable it at any time. If you enable it, you can disable it
later.
BOM Revision Control

Check this box if you wish to maintain multiple revisions for the items you assemble.
If you enable this option, you will have to create and maintain the bills of material for each
revision. MISys/2000 will ask for a revision code for all Assembly and Group Transfers.
later.
Serial/Lot Tracking
Check this box if you wish to track the serial/lot numbers of the items you use and assemble.
The Serial/Lot Tracking option is grayed out if MISys/2000 SLT is not installed and activated
for your company. MISys/2000 SLT is an extra-cost option that is provided on a trial basis
with every copy of MISys/2000 v4.2.
later.
Bin Tracking
Check this box if you wish to track quantities by Bin Location.
Bin Tracking is an extra-cost option that is provided on a trial basis with every copy of
MISys/2000 v4.2.
Job Tracking
MISys/2000 allows you to track the status and cost of jobs by selection one of the following
options:
None Disable job tracking. MISys/2000 will not request job numbers for transactions
and it will not record any job details.
Item level Enable job tracking for item transfers only. MISys/2000 records aggregated job
details for each Item by Job regardless of their transaction type. It saves disk space by not
recording job details during assembly processes. This option is usually sufficient if you do not
need to know about the details of the assembly work you are doing for a job.
Item/Assembly level Enable job tracking for items and assembly transfers. In addition to
aggregated Item-level transactions, MISys/2000 records item/assembly ,job details. This uses
more disk space because it must record job details for each component used in assembly

MISys Primer
processes. This option is appropriate if you need to know the details of the assembly work
you are doing for a job.
Click the drop-down arrow and select the option you want.
These options can be changed at any time.

MISys Primer
Auto-build Action
MISys/2000 has a very powerful Auto-build function which is intended primarily for manufacturers
who do not build and stock subassemblies, but it can be used effectively in a
number of situations including automatic units conversion (see the MISys/2000
Practicum). Auto-build action for a particular assembly is controlled in the header
of its bill of materials. In each bill of material header, there are four Auto-build
selections:
Never To never invoke auto-build action. This may cause the quantity of subassemblies
in stock to go negative.
Zero To invoke auto-build action at zero stock level.
Minimum To invoke auto-build action at minimum stock level for the Item at the specified
Location.
Reorder To invoke auto-build action at the reorder point for the Item at the specified
Location.
Auto-build action is invoked when a stock transfer causes the quantity in stock for an assembled
Item to fall below the selected basis (Zero, Minimum, or Reorder). MISys/2000
will automatically build either the quantity required or the difference between the
current stock level and the selected basis, whichever is less.
This action can best be illustrated with four simple examples, assuming that the bill of material
header has been selected to invoke Auto-build action at Zero stock level.
Initial Stock Level 100
Demand 50
Stock without Auto-build 50
Auto-build Action 0
Final Stock Level 50
In this example, there is an initial stock of 100 units and a demand of 50 units. No Auto-build
action is invoked since the current stock has not fallen below the selected basis.
Demand 50
Stock without Auto-build -40
Auto-build Action 40
Final Stock Level 0
In this example, there is an initial stock of 10 units and a demand of 50 units. Without Auto-build
action, this would reduce the stock to -40 units. Following the rule, Auto-build
action causes 40 units to be built since the difference between the current stock
level and the selected basis (40) is less than the demand (50).
Demand 50

MISys Primer
Final Stock Level 0
In this example, there is an initial stock of 0 units and a demand of 50 units. Without Auto-build
action causes 50 units to be built since the difference between the current stock
level and the selected basis (50) is equal to the demand (50).
Initial Stock Level -10
Demand 50
Final Stock Level -10
In this example, there is an initial stock of -10 units and a demand of 50 units. Without Auto-build
action causes 50 units to be built since the demand (50) is less than the
difference between the current stock level and the selected basis (60).
Using Auto-build in Stock Check
The Stock Check function offers the opportunity to override the Auto-build selection made in the
bill of material header for each assembly. Users who may always build and stock
subassemblies (and therefore would never ordinarily want to invoke Auto-build)
may find it convenient to override Auto-build, enabling it for the purpose of
checking stock for all assembly levels.
Using Auto-build in Stock Transfers

The Stock Transfer function also offers the opportunity to override the Auto-build selection made
in the bill of material header for each assembly. Normally, the As specified
selection will retain the option selected in each bill of material header.
Warning! Auto-build should be used with caution since it can cause many stock transfers to be
made without the user's interaction. Furthermore, Disassembling with Auto-build
enabled cannot reverse the effects of Assembling with Auto-build enabled.

correct them from time to time as may be required. By supporting "net change physical inventory"
MISys/2000 allows you the convenience of:
Deferring entry of physical inventory counts into batches while stock transfers continue to be
made.
Deferring posting of physical inventory batches while stock transfers continue to be made.
For optimum convenience and flexibility, MISys/2000 supports both total and cycle counting.
Physical Inventory Worksheets
MISys/2000 prints a selection of Physical Inventory Worksheets which provide a convenient

means for recording the results of your inventory counts.
Worksheets can be printed for all Items, a range of Items, a range of Locations, for Items
belonging to specific inventory cycles, or for Items not inventoried since a specific date.
At the instant the Worksheet is printed, MISys/2000 records the quantity in stock at each
Location (the Recorded quantity) in a special work-file which will be consulted if the Batch
Worksheet Feed option is selected.
Physical Inventory Batches
You enter the results of your inventory counts in a Physical Inventory Batch.
Since each MISys/2000 user has his/her own Physical Inventory Batch, data entry of
inventory results can occur at convenient times and rates.
The program allows you to enter both the Counted and Recorded quantities in the Physical
Inventory Batch, and ultimately posts the net change between Counted and Recorded.
Batch entries can be made in either of two modes: Manual or Worksheet Feed.
If you elect to enter physical inventory counts into a batch manually, the program will default
the Recorded field to the quantity currently in stock, thus speeding up data entry.
If you would rather defer entering the physical inventory counts until a convenient time when
stock transfers are completed, you can elect Worksheet Feed mode.
In this mode, the program feeds Items numbers together with the Recorded counts from the
Physical Inventory Worksheet into the batch automatically.
Bar-coded Physical Inventory Counts
The MISys/2000 Bar-coding System provides a means for collecting physical inventory
counts remotely from the host computer and uploading them to the Physical Inventory Batch
at a convenient time.
Physical Inventory Check
The Check Physical Inventory function compares the results of the count (recorded in the
batch) with the current inventory.
Always check a Physical Inventory Batch before posting. This way, variances can be
evaluated on the basis of units, value, and percent to total.
If suspect counts are found to be wrong, the batch can be modified and rechecked before
posting occurs.
Physical Inventory Posting
The act of Posting a Physical Inventory batch adjusts the quantity in Stock (and/or WIP) at
posting time by the amount of the net change indicated in the Physical Inventory Batch. This "net

MISys Primer
change" method allows you to post the batch anytime, even while stock transfers are being
processed.
Physical Inventory Posting Errors
Erroneous or ambiguous entries found in Physical Inventory Batches at posting time are not
posted. Instead, they are copied to a Physical Inventory Error Batch. These entries must be
deleted, or if edited and corrected in the Error Batch, can be posted as with any Physical
Inventory Batch(es).

VI. COST ADJUSTMENT LEVEL 1
1. SPECIFIC ITEMS (L1 COST ADJUSTMENT)
2. RANGE OF ITEMS (L1 COST ADJUSTMENT)
Set the Standard Cost of any range of non-assembled items to a multiple of the item's
Standard, Average, or Recent Cost.
Set the Standard Cost of any range of assembled items to a multiple of the item's Burden
Rate.
Make any BOM Revision that falls within a specific range of effectivity dates the Current
Revision.
Click here to review the Basics of Cost Adjusting a Range of Items.

Double click the Range of Items icon to reach the Adjust Range of Items window.
Click one of the Set Standard Cost to radio buttons:
Average To set the Standard cost of each non-assembled Item in a range to its Average
cost, plus or minus a fixed percentage.
Recent To set the Standard cost of each non-assembled Item in a range to its Recent
cost, plus or minus a fixed percentage.
Standard To set the Standard cost of each non-assembled Item in a range to its Standard
cost, plus or minus a fixed percentage. This allows an across-the-board
percentage increase/decrease.
Assembled To set the Standard cost of each assembled Item in a range to its Assembled
cost multiplied by the indicated Burden Rate.
To change the Burden Rate for each assembled Item in the range, click the Update BOM Burden
Rate checkbox, then enter the desired Burden Rate.
If you have selected Average, Recent, or Standard as described above, you can use the Direction
radio buttons and Adjustment % field to apply a percentage (plus/minus)
adjustment. For example, you can set the Standard equal to the Average plus
17.2%. Or, affect and across the board cost decrease by setting the Standard
equal to the Standard minus 5.0%.
If you have selected Assembled as described above, you have two additional update options:
BOM Burden Rate Check this box to set the Burden Rate for each assembled item in the
specified range to the value you enter in the Burden Rate field. Standard costs
are rolled up in the process.
BOM Revision Check this box to make the BOM Revision whose effectivity expires in the range
of dates you specify the Current Revision. Standard costs are rolled up in the
process. This option is not available if the BOM Revision option has been
disabled in the Setup notebook.
Enter the range of Item numbers and Reference numbers you wish to include in the adjustment.
By entering a specific range of Item numbers and Reference numbers, the result is the union
(logical AND) of all ranges. By leaving the default range (all blanks to all Zs), all
records are selected.

3. BATCH OF ITEMS (L1 COST ADJUSTMENT)
User The ID of the MISys/2000 user who created this batch.

Status The status of the batch: either Not Posted or Posted.
Entries The number of entries contained in the batch.
Errors The number of erroneous entries contained in the batch. Usually these result
from entries whose Items are subsequently deleted.
Created The date and time when this batch was created.
Edited The date and time when this batch was last edited.
Posted The date and time when this batch was last posted.
In the field labeled Description, enter a brief description for this Cost Adjustment Batch.
Click the Add button to add this batch to the MISys/2000 database.
In the Item No. field, enter the number of the Item whose cost you wish to adjust. The current
Standard, Average, and Recent cost is displayed in the container.
If the Item is Assembled, its Burden Rate is also displayed for editing.
Edit the Standard, Average, Recent, and Burden Rate fields as necessary, then click the Save
button to save your entries.
When you change one or more of the cost fields, an asterisk will appear in the left-most container
column.

FIFO costs.
LIFO Average To select Items based on the variance between their Standard and Average LIFO
costs.

MISys Primer
In the Acceptable Variance fields, enter the range of variances which are acceptable and
therefore you want excluded from the batch.
The Acceptable Variance is a signed number. If you wish to exclude only positive variances, enter
the range without a sign. If you wish to exclude negative variances, be sure to enter the range
with a leading negative sign (e.g. -10.00 to -15.00). If, for example, you wish to exclude all
variances less than 5%, you would enter the range as 5.00 to 5.00.
Enter the range of Item numbers and Reference numbers you want included in the batch.
By entering a specific range of Item numbers and Reference numbers, the result is the union
(logical AND) of all ranges. By leaving the default range (all blanks to all Zs), all records are
selected.
Click the checkbox labeled Set Standard to Variance Basis to have MISys/2000 perform the
calculation and set the Standard cost field in the batch to the Variance Basis you have selected,
plus or minus and percentage you enter in the % field.
When the desired parameters and selection criteria have been entered, click the Proceed button.
Click Yes to add the selected items to the Cost Adjustment Batch.
If you wish, you can enter one set of parameters and selection criteria, click Proceed, then enter a
different set of parameters and selection criteria. Each time you click Proceed, the qualifying
Items will be appended to the batch.
Click the Close button to close the window and return to the Cost Adjustment Batch window.
Entries have been made for all the selected items, displaying their current Standard, Average,
and Recent costs.
Edit the Standard, Average, Recent, and Burden Rate fields if necessary, then click the Save
button to save your entries.
When all the required entries have been made, click the Post button to update the MISys/2000
database with the new costs.
Heed the warning message about making a backup of your database since any change to your
database can have far-reaching effects. Click OK.
