****NEW GLOBAL / USER DEFAULT OPTIONS : (Please submit a support ticket to activate the below settings)
1. Global Defaults - When SB_AII_V2b.Options.UseSBDefaults is set to 0, all users will have the same global AII settings. These will initially be set to the same values as the current SB defaults. Then these can be edited on the AII Tools/Options/Defaults screen. If these are edited by a user, these changes will be global for all users within that company.
2. User Defaults - When SB_AII_V2b.Options.UseSBDefaults is set to 1, the users will have the options to change these settings for their own unique default values. The AII Tools/Options screen will still hold the global defaults, and when a user makes changes to this they will only affect their own default settings. Before you have us switch this default on, please have someone check the defaults that are currently set under the Tools/Options/Defaults menu, as this will be what all users will start with for their defaults.
Now that you're familiar with the basics of the AII module, you're ready to begin Creating an Electronic Invoice.
