System options are settings that developers and system administrators use to configure NetForum. Only a system administrator with proper user permissions has the authority to modify the system option settings.

The RecognizeRevenueDuringFulfillment system option enables the ordering process in NetForum. The RecognizeRevenueDuringFulfillment system option's only configurable option is the current setting check box. The Default value is off or unchecked.

RecognizeRevenueDuringFulfillment

The RecognizeRevenueDuringFulfillment System Option contains one configurable value:

Field	Values	Result
current setting	on, off	Checked is on. Unchecked is off. Unchecked is the default. Leave this option off to hide the option to cancel fulfillment orders. If the payment method is checked or on, NetForum does the following: When an item that is shippable and sold to a customer, NetForum will not create an invoice. Instead, NetForum will create an order. In this case, if the payment method is electronic payment, the payment will be authorized but not captured (i.e. the customer's credit card will be authorized to make sure the card is valid and that there is sufficient credit limit, and a hold will be put on the amount that is pre-authorized). NetForum will create an invoice and capture the amount with the payment gateway when the product is fulfilled in the fulfillment process or manually invoiced. For items that are not shippable and sold, NetForum will create an invoice and the credit card will be charged immediately. For wait-listed event and session registrations, NetForum will also create an order and not an invoice until there are open slots for event or session registrations. All sales will create an invoice and the credit card will be charged when the payment is applied to the invoice. Check this check box to allow iWeb users to cancel fulfillment orders before the product is shipped. Once an order is canceled, NetForum creates a credit for the price of the product plus the shipping charge. Within NetForum, an iWeb user can apply this credit can to another order, void the credit, or refund the credit.
