Initial Configuration

Scroll Prev Top Next More

We just installed Vouch onto our system. But this is not enough by itself. We need to configure some parameters before we can execute Vouch properly. These parameters are defined in a configuration file "Vouch.ini" which is created in the "{d}\Creative.acp\Vouch" folder and contain many Key/Value pairs. In this chapter we will discuss which "Key" represent what and how it is understood by Vouch.

 

Variable

Default

Description

VouchDat

{app}\dat\org

This is very important setting, please read carefully. It points to the folder where license key (Vouch.dat) resides. By default it points to {vouch_installation_drive}\dat\org. A license key of VouchFree VouchTrade is deposited here on installation. If you intend to carry on with any of the free version then check for which vertical your trade belongs to other than VouchTrade and then copy the relevant Vouch.dat in this folder. If you obtain any other type of license then copy the supplied Vouch.dat into this folder. You are free to change this folder location anywhere on your system but Vouch recommends that you keep default structures defined by Vouch as much as possible.

VouchDta

 

C:, D:, E:, etc. The drive letter where data folder will reside. By default it is Vouch installation drive.

DateFormat

dd/mm/yy

For North American countries it should be mm/dd/yy.

Epoch

1950

The begining of century to append in dates fetched as 2 digits instead of four.

VouchAlarms

No

If "Yes" alarms set for the user will popup the browser with alarm details at the time of login.

VoucherOld

No

__ignore__

PrePrinted

No

Documents designed through Vouch Document Designer can print only data fields leaving text and other elements untouched. This means Vouch is assuming that you are printing over the pre-printed stationary. "Yes" to this option behave as if you are printing over pre-printed stationary.

VouchBackupDrive

 

C:, D:, E:, etc. The drive letter where backup folder will reside. By default it is requested at the time of backup is initiated.

VouchCheckBackup

Yes

It enforces to check if backup is due or not. Backup becomes due every 24 hours since last backup. If backup is due Vouch will switch to demo mode which does not allow to add more than 100 records per table plus switches off printing.

ExecReportsInSameThread

No

Sometimes it is desirable to execute reports in same thread of the calling function. By default every report is executed in a separate thread.

VouchCheckPosting

No

It is an integrity check where vouchers being posted is checked if debit and credit amounts are equal. Sometimes voucher definition gets imbalanced and hence debit and credit amounts does not match. "Yes" to this option issues an alert in such scenario. Voucher is posted anyway.

OpenModuleOnlyOnce

No

Vouch executes each invocation of a module in a separate thread which enables you to open a single module, say "Sales" in more than one window to fill-in multiple invoices simultaneously. It is beneficial sometimes in high-customer trades. If "Yes" the above behavior is suppressed and every next invocation of same module will bring in focus the previously opened, if any, module window.

VouchUseWinApi

No

At many interactive points Vouch can fetch user input in native Window controls contained window. Yes to this option will trigger them to open instead of Vouch regular interface.

VouchPrintDialog

Yes

"No" if Windows proprietary Print Dialog be presented for all GDI printing sessions. "Yes" opens Vouch's own Print Dialog with certain extended features.
