Field Change Utility
This tool allows you to select all the customers who have
one tax rate and change the rate to another. In addition,
it will allow you to further define which customers should
be changed. For example; when sales tax rates change, it is
necessary to adjust each customer's tax rates to ensure that
the proper rate is charged. With the existing ACCPAC program
you have to select each customer to be changed, press down
to the tax rate field on the customer screen, change the rate,
and go on to the next customer to which the tax applies. If
you only have a few repeat customers, this is quite manageable;
however, for those who have many customers, this can be a
tedious and error prone change. You may also have many different
rate changes if you service more than one tax district or
county. Selecting each district and changing each customer
could take hours and would likely result in errors.
Field Choices
In order to make the program even more capable and its databases
easy to change, other fields may also be changed with this
tool.
It will work on any field in any database but has been predefined
to work on the fields which will not effect other databases
(no key fields). The time savings for one change such as tax
rate changes could save companies several hours of tedious
work and completely eliminate mistakes. The following fields
have been predefined for you to select and change.
