Changing the Transaction types

The types of transaction that the Stock Description Plug-in removes lines from can be changed in “StockDesc_Plug_Switches.ini” file.

Example 1

To remove specific line numbers:

[RemoveFromSales]

TypeOfTransactions = ALL

FirstLine = 1

RemoveLines = 4,5,6,B

RemoveLinesBeginningWith = ""

[RemoveFromPurchases]

TypeOfTransactions = POR,PIN

FirstLine = 4

RemoveLines = 2,3,B

RemoveLinesBeginningWith = ""

Where:

Parameter	Description
TypeOfTransactions	Type of Transactions to alter NONE, ALL or (SIN SOR SQU SRI SJI SCR SJC PCR POR PQU PJC PPI PIN)
FirstLine	The line description number, which will appear in line where stock code is specified.
RemoveLines	Additional lines to remove. To remove any blank lines specify “B”
RemoveLinesBeginningWith	If specified, between the quotes, then removes lines beginning with character specified. Note : if specified then RemoveLines numbers are ignored.

In the example above, on the sales side all transactions will have lines 4,5,6 removed. So only lines 1,2 and 3 appear on Sales Transactions.

On the Purchase side only POR and PIN’s will be affected. These will have top line as the 4th line on the stock description (FirstLine = 4), and have lines 2,3 removed. Only lines 4,5 and 6 will appear on POR and PIN transactions.

Note : If “FirstLine” specifies a blank description line then line 1 will remain in transaction. If stock description line starts with a space then the plug-in WILL NOT DELETE LINE the line.

Example 2

Remove all lines beginning with “.” from Sales Transactions only

[RemoveFromSales]

TypeOfTransactions = ALL

FirstLine = 1

RemoveLines = 4,5,6,B

RemoveLinesBeginningWith = "."

[RemoveFromPurchases]

TypeOfTransactions = NONE

FirstLine = 4

RemoveLines = 2,3,B

RemoveLinesBeginningWith = ""

The parameter RemoveLines is ignored because RemoveLinesBeginningWith has been specified. Note this method of removal is faster than the first example when FirstLine = 1, because it does not have to lookup each stock record to compare the stock description lines.
