Hold Area

Annapurna has the ability to store a holding area name for each customer. This ensures that when orders are received from the supplier, they are directed to the correct location.
Customer Setup
  • Navigate to the Customer record.
  • On the Basic tab, enter the holding area information in the designated field.
Sending to Supplier
  • Go to Purchasing → Send to Supplier.
  • Select the Configuration tab.
  • Choose the supplier from the left-hand side.
  • In the Reference box, add {hold} to what is currently in the reference box e.g. {order}-{hold}
When the order is sent to the supplier, the system will automatically include the holding area information.

Managing Network Connections in Annapurna

 There has been the facility to start Windows Batch files when Annapurna starts.  This is often used to create the necessary access to external folders.  


It is now possible to disallow the running of this batch file by a setting in the user configuration. This means that only the appropriate users are given access to the external folders.
