Create Menu - Object

You can use this function to create a record in the Object register (in the System module and Nominal Ledger) to represent the Person. By default, the Object Code will be the same as the Person's Signature and the Object Name will be the same as the Person's Name. It can be useful to create a new Object dedicated to a particular Person so that their sales can easily be analysed in the Nominal Ledger and to ensure the correct operation of the Periodic Personnel Statement report in the Expenses module. This report requires each Person to have a unique Account/Object combination, if not different Accounts.

When you select the function, the following window will open, allowing you to create a new Object:

The new Object will be shown in a window entitled 'Object: New'. This means that it has not yet been saved. After amendment if necessary, save the record in the Object register by clicking the [Save] button in the Button Bar. In particular, it is recommended that you assign all Person Objects to the same Object Type, as this will help with reporting. Alternatively, if you no longer require the Object, click [Cancel]. In either case, you will be returned to the Person window. If you save the Object, the Object Code of the new Object will be copied to the Object field on the ' Accounts' card.

The Person does not have to be saved before creating an Object.
