Store Configuration🔗
Initialise Gaps Module🔗
To operate fully, the GAPS module requires a number of configuration changes and data records to be added to the system. In order to make this process easier, all of the required general configuration steps have been automated for you.
In order to add the GAPS configuration changes, simply click the Initialise button, shown below:
Once configured, the Initialise button will become disabled:
An Edit button will also appear in the footer, where you can edit the store properties for the store you are currently logged into:
Clicking that Edit button will open a new window, where you can view and edit your store properties.
You will see a number of property inputs in this window. If you don't, there may be something wrong with the configuration - please contact support to investigate.
Supply Level Property🔗
The supply level property can be assigned to a store to identify that store's position within the supply chain hierarchy (e.g. central, regional, facility, etc...). On this page you are able to define the number and name of the levels which are available.
To configure supply levels, click the edit button:
This opens a window where you can manage supply levels. If a supply level is already assigned to a store, you’ll see a notice and the delete button will be disabled.
To assign a supply level to a store either:
- Navigate to Manage > Stores and edit a store
- If on the central server, click the edit button in the app footer
Then, select the appropriate supply level from the dropdown:
Click the Ok button to save your changes. If you do not have the Supply level property available, editing the properties (step 1 above) will create the required property. Remember to sync your remote site after editing!
