Jiwa

One feature that would be handy if could appear in Version Seven would be the ability to capture a series of features / key pieces of information with regards to individual customers and also do this with the contacts / buyers held on each debtor that could be defined per Jiwa database.

Whilst it may be possible to acheive this currently through custom fields this functionality does not exist at the individual contact level nor does it exist in terms of historical data capture by this I mean the equivalent of what might have been the snap shotted values for this data at a given point in time.

In addition to this the current custom fields are mutually exclusive, i.e. you can't link between fields to say for example that if field B has a value then field F also has a value. What I am suggesting would be the equivalent of children or dependents to a given custom field.

It would then also be of value if you could then extract data in relation to the value of these fields at both the debtor and individual contact level.

I *think* I know what you are talking about - are you familiar with the debtor systems feature ? it sounds like you want that, but also with a temporal dimension for the values.

Sound right ?

Hi Mike,

What is the debtors System feature? And how do you use its functionality?

Stuart,

It is a licence protected module, so you need to have that enabled - I checked your rego and you don't have it - So you'll have to have a play on demo data (it is enabled on demo data).

Under the debtor menu, there is a menu option called "Debtor System Templates" - this is where you define a "debtor system" - ie: a name and all the fields associated with the system.

Once you one or more debtor systems defined and enabled, The debtor maintenance form has a tab called "Debtor Systems" under the "Customer Activities" tab. There you can add debtor systems to a debtor, and assign the values to the fields.
