System Options (SOPT)

The System Options (SOPT) table controls the behavior of the system on a global level. These options may specify certain defaults or rules. Others may specify the type of accounting model to be implemented for disbursements, specific business rules to apply to disbursements, and parameters for the implementation of the business rules.  These options are specified during the initial setup of Advantage Financial.

The following System Options fields are critical to tax reporting:

Option/Control
