ADMINISTRATION MANUAL CHAPTER 1 - GENERAL PRESENTATION
USER PASSWORDS

USER PASSWORDS

Any user referenced in G.O.L.D. Administration can connect to G.O.L.D. Central using a default
password (supplied by the administrator). The procedure "Changing your user password",
page 20 must be carried out by the user himself if he has the access rights or by the adminis-
trator; it can be used to customise or modify the password. Depending on the parameterisation,
it is possible to define a minimum number of characters for the password input and/or make
the user respect a certain type of format. When accessing G.O.L.D., parameterisations allow
you to:
force the change of the initial password at the first connection and prevent the user from
keeping his password by default
force the regular modification of the password
block a users connection after a period of inactivity
block a users connection after 3 unsuccessful attempts
manage a validity end date for the password
display the last connection date of a user
etc.

ADMINISTRATION MANUAL CHAPTER 1 - GENERAL PRESENTATION
PROFILES AND USER RIGHTS

PROFILES AND USER RIGHTS

Reminder: user identification


All users of G.O.L.D. Central must be referenced in the G.O.L.D. Administration application.
Once this referencing has been done, any user can be personally identified by his user name
and password on his connection to G.O.L.D. Central.

The different profiles in G.O.L.D.

There are two types of profiles: "menu" profiles (also called "business" profiles) and "functional"
profiles (also called "user" profiles). Each profile type has a specific function in G.O.L.D. Central
user management.

"Menu" profiles A user is always linked to a menu profile. This operation is carried out in the G.O.L.D. Admin-
istration application. Menu profiles are used, in particular, to restrict the access of "member
users" to certain menus and screens.

"Functional"
profiles

Functional A user is always linked to a functional profile. This operation is carried out in the Administra-
profiles tion menu of G.O.L.D. Central. The use of functional profiles allows the overall management
of user rights. The following elements are defined in G.O.L.D. in the functional profiles, and
not at the user level:
merchandise structures and merchandise structure levels which can be selected in the
screens
authorisations linked to receptions (modification of quantities and/or article prices dur-
ing a VRN modification, display or modification of prices when entering a reception without
order)
authorisations linked to orders (display or modification of purchase prices of articles on
order, possibility to hide certain data in the order creation screen)
authorisations linked to price lists (modification of VAT on sales price of articles at a shop)
etc.

Reference The functional profiles can be defined on a large scale using reference profiles. A reference
profile profile is always defined in relation to only one component (authorisation for structures OR for
discounts OR etc.). Once the reference profiles have been defined, you can define new user
profiles by combining the reference profiles.

Aldata Solution Confidential document 12


ADMINISTRATION MANUAL CHAPTER 1 - GENERAL PRESENTATION
PROFILES AND USER RIGHTS

Defining functional user rights

There are two ways of defining user rights through their functional profiles. You can choose to
use the reference profiles or not.

If you choose proceed as follows:

to use reference 1. Create reference profiles (one profile per area => its type)
profiles, See "Creating a reference profile", page 22.
2. Define the rights of every reference profile based on its type.
See "Defining the rights of a reference profile", page 23.
3. Create a functional profile and link users to this profile.
See "Creating a functional profile and linking users to this profile", page 24.
4. Link one or more reference profiles to this functional profile. The rights of the mem-
ber users of the functional profile correspond to the rights defined in these reference
profiles.
See "Defining functional profile rights by reference profile composition", page 54.
5. Define the other functional profiles (steps 3 and 4) in the same way. You can reuse
the reference profiles as many times as you wish.

to avoid using reference 1. Create a functional profile and link users to this profile.
profiles, See "Creating a functional profile and linking users to this profile", page 24
2. Define the rights of this functional profile.
See "Defining functional profile rights without using reference profiles", page 26.
3. Repeat these steps to define the other functional profiles. Even if some rights (for
example, access rights to merchandise structures) are identical for some profiles, you
must redefine these rights for every functional profile.

TRANSFERRING FILES AND CONSULTING THE DATABASE

TRANSFERRING FILES AND CONSULTING THE DATABASE

Some G.O.L.D. screens allow you to send files to the GAIA server and receive a file from the
GAIA server. A screen also allows you to consult the database using SQL queries. Predefined SQL
queries can be used (and modified) or new queries can be created (e.g.: you can use the Sales
total query to consult the number of articles sold and the turnover of every article on the
desired site).

Aldata Solution Confidential document 14


ADMINISTRATION MANUAL CHAPTER 1 - GENERAL PRESENTATION
MASTER

MASTER

The main function of the Master is to automatically trigger the processes of G.O.L.D. Pro-
grammes managed by the Master require the definition of:
a service
one or more jobs

IMPORTANT

Programmes managed by the Master can only be launched if the programme PSTPX31P s running
as a background job on the server.

Service

A service is characterised by its name, its description and its trigger mode (table 403):

If the mode is... then the programme is triggered...

Real-time every minute, as a background job.

Interval at regular parameterisable intervals expressed in minutes.

Planned according to a parameterised schedule (see "Schedule", page 15).

Manual on request (only one execution is triggered manually).

Batch in the context of a batch.

Schedule

When the trigger mode of a service is "planned" (and only in this case), a schedule must be
carried out:
in days of the week
e.g.: on Mondays at 10 p.m., on Tuesdays at 11 p.m etc.

and / or
by date: date + hh:mm:ss
e.g.: on 22/08/2005 at 10:15:00 p.m.
Several launches per day are possible without restriction.
Note: for services launched at short intervals (a few minutes), relaunching the process at every
execution can be expensive in terms of machine resources. The launch of the process requires
the allocation of memory, an ORACLE connection, disconnection etc. This operation can take
several seconds. To relieve the machine, the programme can be launched once for all, as a
background job. During periods of inactivity, the process is dormant and does not consume sys-
tem resources.

Aldata Solution Confidential document 15


ADMINISTRATION MANUAL CHAPTER 1 - GENERAL PRESENTATION
MASTER

Job

A service should be divided into one or more jobs which will be launched one after the other.
A job describes the launching parameters of a programme or a PL-SQL procedure (table 404).

Synonyms

Synonyms allow a correspondence to be established between a general name in G.O.L.D. Cen-


tral and an object in another database, for example G.O.L.D. Stock.

Dynamic data

The master screen which allows the date of the last execution of a service to be consulted is
called "Dynamic Data".

MANAGING USER PASSWORDS

To be found in this section:


"Parameterising user password management", page 18,
"Changing your user password", page 20.
ADMINISTRATION MANUAL CHAPTER 2 - MANAGING USER PASSWORDS
PARAMETERISING USER PASSWORD MANAGEMENT

PARAMETERISING USER PASSWORD MANAGEMENT

Via table 2288

Table 2288 allows you to activate or deactivate the functionalities linked to password manage-
ment. All these parameters should be defined before creating the users or when installing the
patch, and should not be modified later.

Entry Explanation

Entry 1 This entry allows you to parameterise the minimum number of characters required when entering
the password:
if the numeric value 1 is set at 1, the user will not have to enter a minimum number of charac-
ters when defining his password
if the numeric value 1 is set at 2, the user will have to enter a minimum number of characters
when defining his password. In this case, the minimum number of characters must be defined in
the numeric value 2.
By default, the numeric value 1 is set at 1.

Entry 2 This entry allows you to parameterise the password type:


if the numeric value 1 is set at 1, the user will not have to enter a specific type of password
if the numeric value 1 is set at 2, the user will have to enter a type of password. In this case,
the numeric value 2 must be used to enter the type of password used (numeric=1, alphabeti-
cal=2, complex=3).
By default, the numeric value 1 is set at 1.

Entry 3 This entry allows you to determine if the user will have to modify his password when connecting for
the first time:
if the numeric value 1 is set at 1, the user will not have to modify his password when connecting
for the first time
If the numeric value is set at 2, the user will have to modify his password when connecting for
the 1st time => After the connection, a warning message is displayed and the user is directed to
the Password modification screen.
By default, the numeric value 1 is set at 1.

Entry 4 This entry allows you to define the frequency of password modification:
if the numeric value 1 is set at 1, the user will not have to modify his password regularly
if the numeric value 1 is set at 2, the user will have to modify his password regularly. In this
case, the input of the frequency of modification (every X days) must be defined in the numeric
value 2. => When the due date of the users password is reached, after connecting, a warning
message is displayed and the user is directed to the Password modification screen.
By default, the numeric value 1 is set at 1.

Aldata Solution Confidential document 18


ADMINISTRATION MANUAL CHAPTER 2 - MANAGING USER PASSWORDS
PARAMETERISING USER PASSWORD MANAGEMENT

Entry Explanation

Entry 5 This entry allows you to determine if the user must be blocked after a period of inactivity:
if the numeric value 1 is set at 1, the user will not be blocked after a period of inactivity
if the numeric value 1 is set at 2, the user will be blocked after a period of inactivity. In this
case, the numeric value 2 must be used to enter the inactivity time for the blocking (number of
days of inactivity). => When trying to connect, a warning message is displayed for the user who
is not authorised to connect anymore. He will have to ask the administrator for a new connection
to G.O.L.D.
By default, the numeric value 1 is set at 1.

Entry 6 This entry allows you to define if the user must be blocked after entering 3 incorrect passwords.
if the numeric value 1 is set at 1, the user will not be blocked after 3 unsuccessful attempts. He
can therefore try to reconnect.
if the numeric value 1 is set at 2, the user will be blocked after 3 unsuccessful attempts and a
message will be displayed. He will have to ask the administrator for a new connection to
G.O.L.D.
By default, the numeric value 1 is set at 1.

Via G.O.L.D. Administration

The User Management screen of G.O.L.D. Administration allows you to carry out the following
operations:
define a validity end date for the user password. When the validity end date is earlier
than or equal to the connection date, the user will not be allowed to connect to G.O.L.D.
A message will then warn the user
display the last connection date of a user
reactivate a user profile after a period of inactivity or after entering 3 incorrect passwords
For more information, see the "G.O.L.D. Administration" manual, ref. GB-ALL-UTI-GOADM-016.

DEFINING THE RIGHTS OF A REFERENCE PROFILE

DEFINING THE RIGHTS OF A REFERENCE PROFILE

The rights can be defined for a reference profile depending on its type. For example, when the
type of the reference profile is "Merchandise structure", you can only define access rights to
merchandise structures.
Note: the various types of reference profiles are stored in the entries of general parameter
table 1416.

The procedure used to define the rights of a reference profile is identical to that used to define
the rights of a functional profile. It involves going to the Profile management screen, searching
for then selecting the reference profile, and clicking on the appropriate button at the bottom
of the screen to define rights in the new input screen which is displayed. For further informa-
tion, refer to "Defining functional profile rights without using reference profiles", page 26.
Note: it is possible to modify the reference profiles and to apply these modifications to the
related profiles. It is also possible to modify one or more reference profiles for a given profile
to update it.

CREATING A FUNCTIONAL PROFILE AND LINKING USERS TO THIS PROFILE

1. Go to the Profile management screen


(access path in the standard version of G.O.L.D. Central Version 5:
Administration > Profile management).
2. Click on the [Add] button on the toolbar to create a new profile.
-> The Profile update screen is displayed.
3. Define the fields in the header panel:

Field Explanation Type Help

Code Mandatory Enter a code to identify the profile. Alphanumeric -

Reference Opt. Do not check this box because it allows you to define a Checkbox -
profile reference profile, and not a functional profile.

Profile type - Do not take this field into account since it concerns ref- - -
erence profiles, and not functional profiles.

Super user Opt. If you wish, define the user members of this profile as Checkbox -
super users.
By default, a super user has all rights: he has access to
stock adjustment and supplier return reasons in table
506, he can carry out all input types, he can enter the
purchase prices of the articles during a reception with-
out order (optional input) etc.
Any operation which aims at managing the functional
rights of a super user will thus have no impact.

Translation Opt. Indicate if you wish to authorise the user members of Checkbox -
this profile to translate the descriptions entered (sup-
plier, article descriptions etc.)
Example: in this example, the user is authorised to
translate the description of table 901:

the user in the list, then click on the [Delete] button at the bottom left of the screen.
6. Click on the [Validate] button on the toolbar to save the profile and its members.
7. By default, a new profile which is not super user has no "functional" right. You can now
define the rights of this profile:
either in a unitary way, i.e. without using reference profiles (see "Defining functional
profile rights without using reference profiles", page 26)
or using the reference profiles created beforehand (see "Defining functional profile
rights by reference profile composition", page 54)

Defining the authorised stock adjustment and supplier


return reasons (table 506)

General During a stock adjustment or a supplier return, the user must indicate the reason for the oper-
presentation ation. From then on, when displaying stock movements, the reason for each movement can also
be identified. Functional profile management includes the parameterisation of the list of avail-
able reasons for each user member.
This parameterisation manages the input of the following screens:
Stock quantity adjustment
Stock price adjustment
Supplier return

To define the authorised stock adjustment and supplier return reasons, execute the following
steps:

Step Explanation

1 Parameterise table 506.


This parameterisation must be carried out during the installation of G.O.L.D.
It can later be modified at any time.

2 Define authorised reasons:


for stock adjustment and/or
for supplier returns

Parameterising All reasons which may be used by G.O.L.D. users during a stock adjustment in quantity or price,
table 506 or during a supplier return, are saved in table 506. To parameterise them, proceed as follows:

Aldata Solution Confidential document 27


ADMINISTRATION MANUAL CHAPTER 3 - MANAGING USERS AND FUNCTIONAL PROFILES
DEFINING FUNCTIONAL PROFILE RIGHTS WITHOUT USING REFERENCE PROFILES

1. Open general parameter table 506.


Note: for further information on general parameter management, see the "Parameters" man-
ual, ref. GB-CEN-UTI-PARAM-092.

2. Depending on your requirements:


modify the default reasons (double-click on the corresponding entry to access the Entry
management screen in modification mode)
add new reasons (click on the [Add] button in the toolbar to access the Entry manage-
ment screen in creation mode)

Aldata Solution Confidential document 28


ADMINISTRATION MANUAL CHAPTER 3 - MANAGING USERS AND FUNCTIONAL PROFILES
DEFINING FUNCTIONAL PROFILE RIGHTS WITHOUT USING REFERENCE PROFILES

delete the reasons (select the reason to delete and click on the [-] button in the toolbar)

VALUES TO BE ENTERED IN THE COLUMNS "VALUE 1" AND "VALUE 2" DURING THE MODIFICATION OR CREATION OF A REASON:

A. Table 506 is a table of user parameters (this is why it can be customised). Through the numeric value displayed in
column "Value 1", every entry in this table refers to the 524 system parameter table. This reference allows you to indi-
cate, depending on the reason, which process must be launched when a stock adjustment screen or a supplier
return screen is validated (modification of cost price, sales price etc.)
B.
- When the numeric value displayed in column "Value 2" is 7, the reason is available in the "Reason" list of values of the
Supplier return screen.
- When the numeric value displayed in column "Value 2" is 1, the reason is available in the "Reason" list of values of the
Stock quantity modification screen.
- When the numeric value displayed in column "Value 2" is 2, the reason is available in the "Reason" list of values of the
Stock price modification screen.

3. Click on the [Validate] button on the toolbar to save the modifications in the table.

Defining 1. Go to the Profile management screen


authorised (access path in the standard version of G.O.L.D. Central Version 5:
reasons Administration > Profile management).
2. Search for and select the profile (non super user) for which you wish to manage stock
adjustment and supplier return reasons.
Caution! By default, a super user has access to all available reasons (of table 506). Any oper-
ation which aims at defining the authorised reasons of a super user will thus have no impact.
3. Click on the [Modif. stock] button at the bottom of the screen.
-> The Stock adjustment screen is displayed.
4. Click on the [+] button at the bottom right of the screen to display a new line.

Aldata Solution Confidential document 29


ADMINISTRATION MANUAL CHAPTER 3 - MANAGING USERS AND FUNCTIONAL PROFILES
DEFINING FUNCTIONAL PROFILE RIGHTS WITHOUT USING REFERENCE PROFILES

5. On this line, define the stock adjustment or supplier return reason you wish to authorise in
the list of values (table 506).
Note: table 506 must first have been customised based on your requirements. If this is not the
case, see "Parameterising table 506", page 27 to carry out this parameterisation.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 to define as many reasons which you wish to authorise as necessary.
Reminder: the descriptions of the reasons have no impact on the processes launched when val-
idating a stock adjustment or a supplier return. Similarly, the reasons entered are not checked
when these screens are validated. For example, a "Quantity +" reason can be entered and the
stock decreased instead of being increased.
In other words, even though the input of a reason is mandatory during the validation of adjust-
ment and return screens, the reason is given as an indication to the user who wishes to consult
stock movements, for example.
7. Click on the [Validate] button on the toolbar to save the data.
-> User members of this profile can now only enter the authorised reasons for adjustments
and returns. Thus, the list of values which can be displayed is limited to the authorised
reasons.

Allowing the Invoice Control users to update the stock


following the variance identification

This procedure allows you to authorise the users of a profile to:


access the Stock update field in the Variance detail screen (access path: Finance and
invoice control > Variance management) to update the stock when the screen is validated
access the Stock update by SIC screen (access path: Finance and invoice control > Stock
adjustment by SIC)

1. Go to the Profile management screen


(access path in the standard version of G.O.L.D. Central Version 5:
Administration > Profile management).
2. Search for and select the appropriate profile (non super user).
Caution! By default, a super user has all authorisations. Any operation which aims at defining
the authorised reasons of a super user will thus have no impact.
3. Click on the [Modif. stock] button at the bottom of the screen.
-> The Stock adjustment screen is displayed.
4. Click on the [+] button at the bottom right of the screen to display a new line.
5. On this line, define the entry 973 ("Supp inv chk modif") of table 506 to authorise the mem-
bers of the profile to update the stock.
6. Click on the [Validate] button on the toolbar to save the data.

Defining merchandise structure access rights

Scope G.O.L.D. can filter records which appear on the screens according to the functional profile of
the user. If you wish to filter the records, you must define the "merchandise structure access
rights", i.e. indicate the merchandise structure nodes which must be "accessible" by all users
of a profile. The records linked to structure nodes which were not defined as "accessible" will
systematically be masked.
Note: this parameterisation only concerns NON super users, since the users linked to a super
user profile have, by default, all authorisations and can display all data on the screens.

If a node (N) of a merchandise structure (S) is "accessible":


in the screens (selection and input), users can only display and select records linked to N
and its child nodes

EXAMPLE
Here, an access right was defined on the Hygiene structure node. On the Article display
screen, the user can only display the articles which are part of this structure node and its
child nodes:

users can display in the Merchandise structure window ALL S levels but they cannot display
the other merchandise structures. They can only select N, AS WELL AS ITS CHILD NODES.
If users try to select structure nodes or articles to which they do not have access rights, a

presentation merchandise structure, allocation, purchase variant, purchase unit, logistic variant, sales price,
etc. This information is displayed whatever the profile of the connected user (super user or
not).
The aim of the following procedure is to mask certain information on this screen. The parame-
terisation is carried out based on the supplier type and the opening context of the screen.

Types of There are three types of suppliers:


suppliers
External
Transit
Purchasing Office
For further information, see the "Suppliers" manual, ref. GB-CEN-UTI- FOURN-010.

Opening There are 3 opening contexts:


contexts
the DEFAULT context: it includes "normal" supplier orders and supply orders
the DAILY PRICED (DP) context: it concerns daily-priced orders
the DISTRIB context: it concerns orders with a distribution list

Order Data which can be masked according to the parameterisation is, for example, Purchase price,
data Merchandise structure, Allocation, Purchase variant, Purchase unit, Logistic variant, Sales
price, Cost price, Net invoiced price, Comment, Commercial reason, Current purchase promo-
tion and Future purchase promotion, etc.

Procedure 1. Go to the Profile management screen
