Note: Securities with an asterisk (such as Purchase Line Distribution Entry) have sub-securities that are listed in the middle section of the Security field. Sub-security descriptions appear in the bottom section of the field. Review and customize these as desired.

Application Settings

Enable SalesPad Desktop Distributions – Allows users to use SalesPad for distributions. Defaults to False.
NOTE: This setting will disable Econnect distributions for all transactions. This means that all distributions for all transactions would need to be set manually or through other means. It is strongly recommended to TEST turning this setting on before applying it to a live environment.
