Automatic write-off: the system automatically generates delivery notes based on an imported request in accordance with preset rules. Thus, not only the request will be loaded automatically according to the schedule, but all the delivery notes for its processing will also be generated. If sets are reconciled and necessary product quantity is entered into books, the notes will be generated error-free. If there is lack of goods, delivery notes will be created with compensation records with possibility to correct them further. If request cannot be processed, error record will be generated.
Online writing off – when this flag is set, data import from R-Keeper 7 will be performed online (bill paid at cash register – sold items writing off takes place in StoreHouse in a few minutes). If delivery notes need to be generated based on imported requests, "Automatic writing off" flag needs to be set. Data request occurs once every 5 minutes in R-Keeper.

With sales being imported from r_keeper_7, automatic writing off can be configured.
Automatic writing-off: automatic generation of notes by the system based on an imported request according to pre-defined rules. I. e., by pressing Run, not only request will be loaded automatically or on schedule but notes necessary for processing thereof will also be generated.
If sets are reconciled and the write-off department has a required quantity of goods on its balances, notes will be generated without errors. If a quantity of goods on the write-off departments” balances is insufficient, notes will be generated with compensated records that can be analyzed and corrected any time.
If new meals were in r_keeper expense for which writing off departments are not specified, sets are not created, or sets are created with errors, the system will not be able to fully process requests. As a result, an error log will be generated. This log can be viewed in import record if import was launched manually.
If import is launched automatically by the system, then, if errors occur during import or writing off, email notification can be configured. Being configured accordingly, import server wil import data from r_keeper_ automatically. To do so, specify settings in Autorun tab.

It is recommended to delete requests that have already been imported, prior to import launch.

In case of import errors during requests creation or processing, import attempt will not be repeated.
Automatic writing off – if this flag is set, the system will attempt to perform automatic writing off on imported requests after Import from RK, i. e., create delivery notes based on imported requests.
