In this article you will find attached a full list of Parameters related to different topics, specific to UK and Ireland.
⚠️Warning: Please ensure you understand the implications of changing a parameter before doing so. Any parameter changes should be fully tested and approved in a non-live environment before being made in a live environment. If you are in doubt, contact Access Coins first.
📌Note: You can find the parameters for each topic within a separate tab at the bottom of the document.
Parameters are values you can set to control how Coins ERP+ behaves, or to pass values into a query so it runs without “hard coding” things like dates or contract numbers.
In practice, they’re used in a couple of ways:
Module parameters: set during configuration and can be tailored per module to match your business rules.
Query/report parameters: prompted to the user (for example a financial date, currency code, or contract) so the report or enquiry can filter results dynamically.
See the full Parameters list: UK Parameter Export.xlsx
Seeing which Parameters are used
You can show which parameters aCoins ERP+program has used, and what they are set to. This may be useful when debugging.
To show debug information:
Press Ctrl+Shift+C.
Coins ERP+ displays the COINSInfo frame at the bottom of the screen. This shows information about the program, such as:
the parameters that the program has referred to
internal functions that the program has used
Click Parameters and Variables to show the list of parameters used.
To hide the debug frame, press Ctrl+Shift+C again.
The help frame also shows information about parameters.
Parameter Maintenance
Parameters allow you to control various aspects of the way Coins ERP+ works, according to the needs of your particular business. The parameters for each module are set as part of configuration process, and each module also has a tailoring procedure for changing the parameters.
Parameters show a lock symbol to show if the value is in the System Vault
or set in the Safe
.
When the parameter requires a directory path, you can use the token $BASE to indicate the base directory of your system.
To change a parameter for all companies:
Go to the tailoring procedure for the relevant module.
Coins ERP+ displays a list of the parameters for that module.
You can filter the list:
To maintain the full list of parameters, select All Parameters.
To maintain only the parameters for a given category, select the category from the Filter drop-down list.
To maintain only the parameters that apply to a given region or interface (for example, Coins ERP+plus or Coins ERP+), use the Advanced Filter. For example, if you select Australia in the Region field, this displays parameters that relate to all regions and those that relate to Australia, but excludes parameters that relate only to other regions such as the UK.
Click
to update the parameter.
You can add a note against a parameter (for example, to explain why you have set it the way you have)
Enter a new value for the parameter.
Click
to save your changes.
