Practice Mode

Anything you do in practice mode will NOT affect the main simulation. It therefore presents an opportunity for you to learn how to use the system. In this section we describe how to use the system in practice mode.

In this mode you can select up to 3 pre-set practice scenarios:

1.            Simple (Sales) order

2.            Sales (resale item) order plus Purchase Order

3.            Sales (manufactured item) order

Start the session by clicking the green ‘play’ button in the menu bar.

Next, select the preferred adjacent pre-set practice button.

You will then be informed of a scenario e.g. an order has just been placed by…

Details of the practice scenario will be shown in the text box located around the middle of the practice bar.

The Home form will load in practice mode.

You must then enter details in the correct way to process the order.

Some help is provided in the form of context specific message boxes.

When you have successfully processed the order, the home form will close, returning you to the practice mode menu bar.

You may then select another pre-set practice or redo a practice scenario already attempted. You can attempt the practices as many times as you like. Records are deleted when you finish.

When you have finished practicing you may return to the simulation start screen by clicking the button ‘Start Simulation’
