The Code Value Client Link feature allows you to create and link the client with their respective code value for broker information.

Each code value client link identifies the following:

  • The broker information associated with the code category.

  • The client details associated with the code value.

The Add Code Value Client Link workspace allows you to create code value and link it to a client.

View Code Map Cache

The Code Map Cache is a feature that loads Eagle Data Management's code values into the Eagle Accounting engine memory. This cached data is then referred by the Eagle's Reporting platform for S2P Direct.

S2P Direct stores the Short Description of the code value in the Eagle Data Management's tables. Eagle Accounting's report queries will query the Eagle Data Management's table to return the Long Description for the stored Short Description from memory. This is done instead of joining to the Code Value table.

This feature improves performance and provides the user with ease of maintenance. Performance is improved by not requiring that the report stored procedure is joined to the Code Value table, when retrieving the long description for a code value that is stored in the Eagle Data Management's Position, Lot Level Holding, Trade, Disposal Lot, or Cash Activity table.

User ease of maintenance is achieved by the externalized translation of the stored code value. The Eagle Data Management's Code Value table long description can be changed without affecting the stored code value in Eagle Data Management. Any number of code value translations can be incorporated into the Eagle Data Management's table queries.
