What purchasing, retention and staff options do the BIM 2.0 settings have?

Steps

  1. Open the Bim 2.0 settings and scroll down to Purchase Configuration.
  2. More Materials and More Services: default value of Allow to Buy More in material and service requests, which allows ordering more than budgeted. Cost Zero Purchase: orders created from a material request carry a zero price.
  3. In Retention Configuration, Retention % is the retention percentage (5% by default) that new projects receive.
  4. In Human Resources Configuration: Working Hours (hours in a working day) and the hour and Minute Start Job, which the attendance wizards propose.
  5. Default hourly cost: hourly cost of new employees. Hours of difference: time offset from the server, used when importing attendances and calculating durations.
  6. Click Save.
Warning

Overtime Factor is not used in any calculation.

The two start-time boxes appear with the same Working Hours label: the second one is the start hour, not the hours of the day.
