File Descriptions
Like all OSAS applications, Resource Manager uses data files
to manage information. As you work, OSAS automatically
accesses, stores, and transfers information within these files as
needed for correct accounting and to keep the system current.
Unlike other OSAS applications that often have complex
interactions between data files as a result of transaction
activity, Resource Manager’s files are used in basic processing
for the system as a whole. Because Resource Manager is the
basis of the OSAS system, many of its files are accessed only
to determine which country or tax to use in calculations or to
determine how the system should function or how OSAS
should appear on a given workstation.
For example, the files that store tax information are accessed
whenever the system calculates or stores tax amounts for
transactions, but the system does not directly change the
information in these files unless you use the appropriate File
Maintenance functions. The system uses other files to
determine how the system works in general or on a specific
workstation: some control how OSAS appears, others manage
basic function access and data formatting, and others store
application defaults and related information.
This appendix lists the Resource Manager data files and gives a
brief description of each.
