MODSYSCF - CUSTOMS OFFICE CONFIGURATION Ó UNCTAD - SITE (V1.15) 9.7 The configuration for any office is defined by changing the existing configuration and transferring it to the Server. Once the transfer from client to server is done, the new office configuration file will be placed in the .cnf directory of the Server. The last configuration defined in  MODSYSCF will stay as the current one on the client  computer  used  to  set  and  transfer  the  configuration.  To  get  a  specific configuration, use the option  ‘Configure  office’  and  set  the  office  code  of  an existing configuration. To do this manually, get the  sys.cnf.cuo  code  from  the server and put it on the client in the  .cnf directory and renaming it to sys.cnf. NOTE: There is only one  sys.cnf file on the client side. It means that whatever the configuration is, the name of the file will always be  sys.cnf. The only way to check  which  office  is  configured  is  to  use  the  “About…”  option  (under  ‘Tools’ and ‘Options’ ) from any ASYCUDA++ client module. Creating New Office Configurations The recommended order of operation for creating a new office configuration is: 1.     Check that the office code is in the  ‘Customs Office’ reference table, or create the new office codes through MODCHQ; 2.     Create and attach at least one user to each of the offices you intend to configure. MODSYSCF, ‘Functions’, ‘Security’, ‘User management’; 3.     Use  the  ‘Configure  Office’  option  to  set  the  new  office  code  as  the  client  PC’s  default  office code MODSYSCF, ‘Functions’, ‘Configure office’; 4.     Update  the  system  parameters  for  this  new  office  and   ‘OK’  in  MODSYSCF,  ‘Functions’, ‘System parameters’ . This is mandatory or the new office configuration file will not be created in the database and you will be unable to switch to that office later; 5.     Transfer the configuration MODSYSCF, Configuration transfer; 6.     Stop and re-start the engine on the Server; and 7.     You can now switch from the original office code to the newly created office. To Login to an Office The login box of  MODSYSCF allows the change to another office code, but the login will only be successful if the configuration for the office code to which you wish to change, exists on the server. It  means  that  the  configuration  for  this  office  has  already  been  created  and  transferred  to  the server. In this case, MODSYSCF will automatically get the sys.cnf file from the server if it is not the Client PC configuration or if the release number is different. System Parameters This  option  allows  the  setting  of  System  Parameters  for  a  specific  office  code.  The  office  to  be configured  is  set  by  using  the  procedure  described  in  the  previous  paragraphs  see  Configure Office. This office code is used in the declaration identification, and is shown as the default on the declaration processing screen in  MODCBR.  Also  the  use  of  the  various  functional  options  within ASYCUDA++ are authorised on this screen. The following functions can be toggled on or off, (i.e. Yes or No), either with a mouse ‘click’, or by using the space bar: ·     Manifest (with also the option of ‘Learning Mode’ – see below for an explanation); ·     Licensing ·     Credit /Pre-payment Accounts
