*Click on the Devices tab
*Check the box next to the batch control you just created
#Using Ticket Printing, select a plant that you chose to send tickets to the batch control. Enter a manual ticket and key in a single product (it would be helpful if this product also exists on the batch control.) Print the ticket. You should see activity on the batch control.
#After testing, go back into Device Maintenance and add the following parameter to the end of the Device Configuration box:

Setting up Default Quantities to Optimize Dispatch

2023-07-14T13:00:37Z

WikiAdmin: 1 revision imported

Keystone Dispatch performance is greatly affected by default the default quantity setting in ARTPROD. When the AUTO_QTY is set to N, the quantity for any product after line 1 (the mix) will be 0.

Auto Quantity values:
*Yes (Y): The quantity for each ticket will be set to the Default Quantity.
:Good for Load Delivery Charge
*Bringdown (B): Carry down quantity from the main product.
:Good for admixes by the Yard
*Order Remaining (R): Will put all undelivered quantity on the ticket. If the quantity is lowered the remaining will end up on the next ticket.
:Good for Rebar, Expansion joints, etc.
*Order Quantity: The quantity for each ticket gets set to the Order Quantity for every load.
:Good for Transportation by the Hour (e.g. 1.5 Hours per ticket).
:and Test Cylinder (e.g. set to 1)

Simple Default Quantity Review query:
<PRE>
select p.product_class,p.product_code,unit_of_measure,auto_qty,default_qty,p.DESCRIPTION_1 from artprod p
WHERE product_class<>'CO'
order by product_class,unit_of_measure,auto_qty,default_qty
</PRE>

<PRE>
Update artprod
set AUTO_qty='B' WHERE PRODUCT_CLASS='AD' AND UNIT_OF_MEASURE='YD'
</PRE>

(Alternative to above script... This one assumes if it is an additive and it is less than $10, it is likely a per-yard based price. Check this with client before executing, as it is hardly foolproof.)
<PRE>
Update artprod
set AUTO_qty='B' WHERE PRODUCT_CLASS='AD' LIST_PRICE < 10.00
</PRE>

<PRE>
Update artprod
set AUTO_QTY='Y' , default_qty=1, WHERE PRODUCT_CLASS='TR' AND UNIT_OF_MEASURE='LD'
</PRE>

== Adding a Logoff Icon ==

Because users could potentially hit the SHUTDOWN button from the Windows Start menu resulting in accidental server shutdown, I've created an Icon called "Logoff Server".

Create a shortcut with a command line of "SHUTDOWN.EXE -L" and change the icon to use the Logoff Icon.

== Disabling the SHUTDOWN option ==
To remove the SHUTDOWN option from the menu when a user logs into the Terminal Services, do the following:

# Go to '''Control Panel''', '''Administrative Tools''', and look for '''Local Security Settings'''.
# Click on '''Local Policies''' tree and then to the "'''Users Right Assignment'''" subtree.
# Search for "'''Shut Down the System'''" option.
# Add to this option all the users or groups you wish to give the option to '''Shutdown the System'''. All the users or groups excluded from the list will not have permissions to shutdown the system.

This applies whether the user excluded from the list login locally or through Terminal Services.
