In general, you need to set up your salespoints previous to installing Sales on each salespoint, as described in the Salesware Installation Guide. You set up salespoints from SysManager > Activities > System Lists > Salespoints. Each salespoint gets a unique name. Each name also appears in the license file in SysManager (SysManager > Preferences > Sales Point Licenses). These names need to be meaningful (see How to name your DCI’s salespoints, accounts and their groups). You can’t set up more salespoints than you have licenses for.

 

Note: Do not use hyphens in your salespoint names. Hyphens pose compatibility problems with ProtoBase.

 

You can group salespoints together from within SysManager > Activities > System Lists > Salespoint Groups. Salespoint groups are used primarily for reporting purposes (including the ability to assign reporting security roles per salespoint group), though you can also apply global specials by salespoint group. You also specify salespoint .INI groups from the Global Salespoint .INI tab (SysManager > Preferences > Miscellaneous > Global Salespoint INI tab), though these groups do not necessarily need to correspond to the groups you set from SysManager > Activities > System Lists > Salespoint Groups. (For more information on setting Global .INI settings, see the Salesware .INI Settings Reference document.)
