How AutoCount IC Checker Plugin Works
A. Access Rights
IC Checker provides separate access rights for viewing and opening NRIC Maintenance, and for creating,
editing, deleting, or importing NRIC records.
1. Open Access Rights and expand the IC Checker or SL IC Checker plug-in group.
2. Grant Show and Open NRIC Maintenance to users who need to view and open the maintenance
screen.
3. Grant New, Edit, Delete, and Import NRIC only to users who should perform those actions.
4. Save the access-right changes and ask the affected user to reopen AutoCount if the menu is not yet
visible.
B. Maintain NRIC Records
NRIC Maintenance stores the NRIC, name, blacklist status, and blacklist reason used by the transaction
checks.
1. Open IC Checker > NRIC Maintenance.
2. Select the required NRIC record from the list.
3. Click Blacklisted to maintain the blacklist status for the selected NRIC.
4. When setting an NRIC as blacklisted, enter a reason before saving. The plug-in requires a reason when
the blacklist option is enabled.
5. Click Whitelist when the selected NRIC needs to be maintained as a whitelisted record.
6. Click Refresh to reload the latest NRIC records after changes or an import.
C. Import NRIC Records from Excel
The Import NRIC screen accepts tab-delimited rows copied from an Excel worksheet and identifies rows
that are new, updates, or errors before saving.
1. Prepare an Excel worksheet with a header row containing NRIC and, where required, Name, Reason,
and Blacklist.
2. Copy the header and data rows from Excel.
3. Open NRIC Maintenance and choose Import NRIC.
4. Click Paste to load the copied rows into the preview grid.
5. Review each Status and correct rows marked Error. The import checks missing or duplicate NRIC
values and field-length issues.
6. Select Overwrite existing records only when imported values should replace matching records already
in NRIC Maintenance.
7. Click Import to save the valid rows.
D. Use NRIC Checking in Transactions
IC Checker checks the NRIC recorded on supported documents and stops a save when that NRIC is
marked as blacklisted. Supported documents are Invoice, Cash Sale, Sales Order, and Cash Purchase.
1. Open a supported transaction: Invoice, Cash Sale, Sales Order, or Cash Purchase.
2. Enter the NRIC in the document NRIC field supplied by the plug-in.
3. Complete the transaction as usual and click Save.
4. If the NRIC is not blacklisted, the document follows the normal AutoCount save process.
