Database Maintenance Alerts

Tender Types


The Tender Type alert indicates that a new Tender has been picked up from the POS and must have a Tender Type assigned on the Tenders page for proper reporting.

Job ExportIDs


The Job ExportIDs alert indicates that one or more new Jobs have been picked up from the POS and must have their Job ExportID entered on the Jobs page.


Important Note: While the Job ExportID alert is driven by the Job Export ID field, this field is only used for Custom Payroll Exports. If a Custom Payroll Export is not in use for the database, any number, including ‘0’, can be entered to clear the alert.


Best Practice: Complete all configurations for the Job when entering the Job Export ID.
