Destination

The CLIENT and POJECT options of SIM enable you to trace the recipient of a stock output.
When managing products or parts for internal use, one may wish to have a precise and guided description of the destination of the products.
This is possible with the DESTINATION option.

Destinations are defined hierarchically by text files.
The first file to be created defines the first choice of destination.
It is called destination.txt and contains for example:

• Factory 1
• Factory 2
• Factory 3

When you perform an output you have the choice between the "primary" destinations defined in the file.
The choice Factory1 for example fills the second combo box with the choices defined in the factory1.txt file.
In a similar way, the choices of the third combo box are determined by the production.txt file
The output can only be saved when all choices are made.
We can thus define a destination tree of the type
