User Settings HUG Image 1


1. Allocate User Types

When a user is created initially a User Type must be selected.  Once created, the user type cannot be changed on the user profile, it must be done through this screen.  It is possible to allocate more than one user type to a user and set one to be a default.  If a permission is granted to any one of the user’s user types, then this is enabled for the user.

To allocate user types, select the user from the top drop down box, select the relevant user types and click Allocate.  It is then possible to either make one a default, or remove a user type if no longer relevant.

User Settings HUG Image 2


2. Business Units

Business Units can be created to match an organisation’s departments or sections and used to group users who deal with Purchase Requisitions to allow for other users to make enquiries and goods receive on behalf of other users.  Business units are also used with the Holiday module to allow users to view holiday requests submitted by their team members and to allow various reports to be filtered by Business Unit.

User Settings HUG Image 3

To create a new business unit, click “Add a new Business Unit”, enter the name and move users into the Selected Users box.  Click Save to create this new business unit.

User Settings HUG Image 4

To add or remove users from an existing business unit, click Edit next to the unit and move users to or from the Selected Users box as required.  Click Save to ensure the changes are retained.  On the user’s WAP profile it is possible to mark a Business Unit as their default if the user has access to multiple business units.


3. Company Access

Each user can be configured to access certain Sage Companies (as listed in System Setup – Sage Connections) with the corresponding delivery and invoice addresses, expense supplier accounts and Costing Resource set.  This function is also accessible through User Setup – Users – Company Access Tab.  It is easier through this screen to add or remove company access to multiple users quickly.

User Settings HUG Image 5


4. Costing Headers

This wizard can be used to allocate Jobs/Projects, depending on the Costing Module selected.

Select the user to see what jobs have already been allocated to the user; remove any if required or click Add New Job to open a screen showing all jobs as pulled through from Sage – select required jobs and add to the user.

User Settings HUG Image 6


5. Costing Item Types

This wizard can be used to allocate job types to a user; i.e. so all job headers with an expense job header type will be visible to that user when entering an expense claim.  Job Types can be removed per user as required, or click Add New Cost Type to add a new cost type to a user.  Depending on how the job headers have been structured, either configure job header access in WAP through the job headers wizard, or job type wizard, do not try to use both.  For more information on Job Headers, please see the Job Costing Help and User Guide.

User Settings HUG Image 7


6. Costing Items

This wizard can be used to allocate job headers to users and state which modules the job headers should be visible in.  Per user it is possible to either edit or remove job headers as required, or click Add New Cost Header to assign a new cost header to the user.  Depending on how the job headers have been structured, either configure job header access in WAP through the job headers wizard, or job type wizard, do not try to use both.  For more information on Job Headers, please see the Job Costing Help and User Guide.

User Settings HUG Image 8


7. Delegates

The purpose of the WAP Delegates functionality is to set which uses of WAP the selected ‘master’ user can access via the delegate drop down box at the top of the WAP screen.  A logged in user can access the other user’s view of the system and will only be able to use the system as per the permissions for the delegated user.  If documents are approved on behalf of the delegated user, the history will show it has been approved by the master user on behalf of the delegated user.  Reports can also be run to show documents entered by a user’s delegates.

Choose the User to configure the delegates for from the drop down list and move users from the Available list to the Selected list as required.  The master user will need to log out and into WAP to ensure nay changes are picked up.  The user will see all selected users in the drop down list at the top right of their WAP screen.  When logged in as a delegate, click the arrow on the delegate drop down list to log back in as the master user.  If applicable, a user can be given access to all delegates; this means that when a new user is added onto the system, they will automatically be added onto the user’s delegate list.

8. Email

If notifications need to be changed for a particular user, this can be carried out here by either editing per user or using the wizard.  Any amendments will show under Overridden Email Threads.  These changes can also be made in the User Profile – Notifications.  Generally it would not be recommended to override the system email threads at a user level as this can create increased maintenance for the WAP Superusers.


9. Expense Item Types

Please refer to the Expenses Help and User Guide for further information.


10. Expense Meetings

Please refer to the Expenses Help and User Guide for further information.


11. Holidays

Please refer to the Holidays Help and User Guide for further information.


12. Logged in Users

This will show all users who are currently logged onto the system; this is useful to ensure all users are logged out before carrying out upgrades or system maintenance – user sessions can be ended by clicking the End Session button next to each user.  An email can be sent to all logged in users prior to this asking them to end their sessions to ensure the system maintenance can be carried out.


13. Nominal Accounts

Users of the WAP system will often need to have a restricted selection of nominal codes which are specific to their department or function they carry out; e.g. they should be able to raise requisitions against all nominals for a Cost Centre or Department.  You may need to restrict access to Bank, Control or Payroll accounts for all users; this tab will allow this to be done.


13.1. Edit Per User

This option allows nominal allocation either by User or by Nominal; both options permit a maximum line value and maximum authorisation value for a specific nominal.  If left a 0.00, the system will use the User’s default line and approval values set in their User Profile – Account Options tab.


13.2. Using the Wizard

A wizard has been provided to speed up the process of assigning nominal codes to users; the first step is choosing the required Sage Company, then select the required nominal accounts; these can be searched for at the top by typing in an Account Number, Cost Centre or Department.  Once the nominal codes have been checked, further searches can be undertaken – any codes previously selected will be retained.  If all nominal codes need to be selected, click the box at the top of the list.  When all required nominal codes have been selected, click Next.

Select all the users that need to be granted access to these nominal codes.

If specific line or approval values need to be entered for these nominals, enter these here.  If these values are left as 0.00, the user’s default line and approval values (set on their User profile – Account Options tab) will be used.  NB: overridden line and approval values are only applicable for the Requisitions module.

The final step is to select whether access to these nominal codes needs to be assigned or removed from the users.  Complete the wizard.


13.3. Copying Nominal Access from Users

This will copy nominal access from one user to another; only new nomoinal accounts will be added.  To remove access to nominals, either edit per user individually or use the wizard.


13.4. Import from CSV

Nominal access per user can be configured and imported once a template has been generated from within WAP – generate, complete, validate and import.

User Settings HUG Image 19


14. Out of Office Alternate Users

The out of office functionality can be selected by the user in the ‘My Settings’ icon at the top of the screen; users can switch on their out of office and choose an alternative user to receive notifications and approve documents on their behalf (only up to the user’s individual approval limits).  By setting a specific list of alternate users here, it is possible to restrict who a user can choose as their alternate user.  If no alternative users are configured, the user will be able to choose from all users setup in WAP.  In the following example, when Henry switches on his out of office, he will be able to choose either Admin or Sarah as his alternative user.  Note; there is no link between WAP out of office and Outlook out of office.


15. Requisition Templates

Please refer to the Requisitions Help and User Guide for further information.


16. Send Welcome Emails

When a new user is added onto the system, a welcome email will be sent containing information on the link into WAP and their login details.  If users are added onto WAP using an import, a welcome email can be sent immediately or at a later date.  The welcome email can either contain a system generated password which the user must change on first login or a password can be included in the import and this will be sent to the user.  Welcome emails can be sent at a later date; i.e. in the instance where users are imported at initial configuration but users should not be accessing the system until the system has been set up fully.

A list of users will be displayed showing whether a welcome email has been sent; select appropriate users to send a welcome email to and click next.  Choose whether to create a new temporary, system generated password, or to include password on the welcome email (if a password has already been allocated to the user).  Click to send the welcome email to the users.


17. User Credit Cards

Please refer to the Expenses Help and User Guide for further information.


18. User Subsistence Incidentals

Please refer to the Expenses Help and User Guide for further information.


19. User Types

N.B.: it is necessary to configure user types prior to adding users to the WAP system.  User Types are used to set permissions for each user type to limit what the users can and cannot do within the WAP system.  Applying these at a user level is more efficient than having to set all permission at an individual user level.

User types can be added to an approval route where any one of the users in a user type can approve a requisition, invoice, expense etc.  User types can be added to each organisation’s specification and it is worth spending some time deciding the functions you wish your staff to perform, how they can be grouped and therefore the name of the user type.  This could be as set out below, job titles could be used or different modules could be used and users could be assigned multiple user types (e.g. Requisition Approver and Expense Approver or Requisition Submitter and Expense Submitter).

Under the Reports option at the top is a permissions report that can be run to show each permission assigned to each user type.  This can be used to ensure the user types have been set up correctly.

WAP User Settings HUG 19

Each user type can then be edited and permissions enabled to perform various functions in relation to the system and to each WAP module.  A user type can be copied and renamed to allow for quick setup where user types may be similar.

As many users can be added onto the WAP system up until the licensed amount, plus any leavers on the system as these do not take up a user licence.  The Admin user will not take up a user licence unless it appears in an approval route.

NB: Always remember to click the Save button at the bottom of the user setup page when changes have been made; changes will be lost if this section is moved away from without the changes being saved.

If a user has left employment it is recommended that they are not deleted from the system using the delete user option, but mark them as a leaver and take away their ability to log into the system; the user will not take up a user licence and will remain available in the WAP system history and reports.  The Delete User button should only ever be used to delete incorrectly setup users during original creation.  When marking a user as a leaver, the Global Replace functionality should be used to replace the user in any approval routes, then make them as a leaver on the user’s profile, enter an alternate user and remove their ability to login.

To add a new user, click the Add a New User button at the top or bottom of the user list.


21.1. User Imports

CSV import templates are available and are recommended if 25+ users need to be added to the system at once.  The first one to run is the New Users import; this will bring in a skeleton user profile that can be filled out using the other imports.

WAP User Settings HUG 21.1

CSV imports are generated within WAP by choosing the required import (below) and then clicking Generate Template.  Once filled out, these will need to be validated and if there are no errors, can then be imported.  When a template has been generated, please ensure the file name ends with the version number; if it doesn’t, the file will fail validation.

With the new user import, there are additional options regarding sending out a welcome email either when the user is imported, or this can be sent out later once the system is ready for users to login (User Setup – Send Welcome Email).

  • New users:  run this import first to bring in new users into WAP. It can also be used to update existing users already in the system. If users are in the template that exist in the system already, user information will be overridden if ‘Overwrite Existing Accounts‘ is also selected in the screenshot above.
  • Sage 50 Payroll:  if Sage 50 ODBC connection details have been added, users can be imported.  Complete relevant fields and import.
  • User type allocation:  this import can be used to assign user types to users, with one set as a default.
  • User approval items:  set per user and per document their item and approval values.

21.2. User Profile – Person Details Tab

At initial user creation, some fields are marked as mandatory; if fields on other tabs cannot be selected, please check the initial Person Details page to ensure all mandatory fields have been completed correctly.

WAP User Settings HUG 21.2

Username:  login name for the WAP system.  If single sign in is enabled, this username must match the user’s Windows login username.  This is a mandatory field and usernames must be unique.

Default User Type:  this can be selected when first creating a user, but cannot be edited once created (see Allocate User Types).  Select from the drop down list the required user type as configured in User Setup (see User Type Settings).  This is a mandatory field.

Employment started:  this is an optional field to enter an employment start date; this can be used by the holiday module to prevent the user from taking more holiday than has been accrued.

Leaver:  only check this box if the user has left the company.  An alternate user account must be selected as there may be incomplete items in the system that the alternate user will need to action.  If the user is in an approval route, then the Global Replace functionality under Approval Routes will need to be run prior to marking this user as a leaver (see Approval Routes – Global Replace for User).

Out of Office:  option to select if the user if away from the office on sick leave or on holiday.  An alternate user must be selected to deal with items on behalf of the user who is absent.

Alternate User Account:  the specified alternate user will be used to approve items submitted by the user if the relevant self-approve function is enabled and the current user is in the approval route (see System Settings – Approval – Self Approval).

Allow Login:  if this option is unticked the user will not be able to log into the system and their name will not appear throughout the system, i.e. in Global Replace User, Delegate drop down boxes etc.

Reset password on next login:  if this option is selected the user will be forced to choose a new password the next time they log into WAP.

Access all delegates:  select this option for users who should have access to all users as delegates on the system; this would generally only be the Admin user or other Superusers.  As soon as new users are added onto the system they will appear in these user’s delegate drop down box.

Title:  this is a free text box but is not mandatory.

Forename:  this is a mandatory, free text field.

Surname:  this is a mandatory, free text field.

Email:  this is a mandatory, free text field.  A valid email address must be entered for the email integration, notifications and password reset links to function correctly.

Send Welcome Email:  if this is ticked, when the user profile is saved a welcome email will be sent straight away to the new user.

Job Title:  this is a free text box but is not mandatory.

Telephone Number:  this is a free text box but is not mandatory.  This can be useful as an additional way to contact logged in users.

Country:  this will default to the country set in System Settings but can be changed if needed.  The Country selection is primarily used for Subsistence claims and does not relate to the user’s address.

Analysis Codes:  if user analysis codes have been configured (System Setup – Analysis Labels – Document Type ‘User’) to appear on the user tab, these will appear here, either as free text fields or check boxes.


21.3. Account Options Tab

Set the Item and Approval Values per document, per User.  All approval values must be entered in the System Base Currency; any documents entered with a different currency will be converted to the base currency – Sage exchange rates are used when converting.

Item Value:  this sets the maximum document value that the user can enter into the WAP system.

Approval Value:  this sets the maximum approval value for the user.

When editing or adding new values remember to click Update before Save and Close at the bottom of the screen.

Self-Approval Value:  a number of organisations allow users to raise and approve documents up to a specified self-approval value.  Each user needs to be given a maximum self-approval value per document type as shown below.

Various functions are also available to enable/disable settings regarding budget checking and whether the user is able to override any budgets.  The default options are shown below.

Check budgets on self-approval:  this is on by default; if an order is raised within a user’s self-approval value, it will still require approval if the nominal or job is over budget.

Can change requested by:  if this is ticked the user will be able to change the user who is raising the requisition (on the Justification tab).  If approval routes are based on requesting user, this will pick up the approval route for the user selected from the drop down box.

View all nominals on Budget Enquiry:  if ticked, the user will be able to view all nominal codes when running the budget enquiry.  If not ticked, the user will only be able to see the nominal codes that have been allocated to them.

Can Override Nominal Monthly Budget:  if ticked, the user will be able to override monthly budgets so these requisitions will not be flagged as over budget and therefore require further approval.

Can Override Nominal YTD Budget:  if ticked, the user will be able to override nominal YTD budgets so these requisitions will not be flagged as over budget and therefore require further approval.

Can Override Annual Nominal Budget:  if ticked, the user will be able to override annual nominal budgets so these requisitions will not be flagged as over budget and therefore require further approval.


21.4. Notifications Tab

If notifications need to be changed for a particular user this can be carried out here by selecting the relevant line, editing and clicking Save and Close.  Any amendments will show under Overridden Email Threads; as with all email thread settings, the WAP service will need to be restarted after any email threads have been changed.

Generally, it is advised to not use this function to start changing what individual users will receive and on what days as this can become a large task to maintain for the Admin user.

Please follow link to System Settings HUG detailing email threads – https://www.sicon.co.uk/user-guide/wap-system-settings/#6


21.5. Business Units Tab

On this tab it is possible to allocate the user to Business units; the available business units are set up under User Setup – Business Units.  These are primarily used to group uses who deal with purchase requisitions to allow other members of the group to carry out enquiries and goods receive on behalf of other members of the business unit.  Business units are also used in the Calendar view when booking holidays in the WAP holiday module.  A user can be a member of multiple business units and have one set to be their default unit.


21.6. Time & Attendance Tab

The General T&A sub tab relates to the Timesheet Module and allows setting up of the User’s individual contracted and overtime hours, and linking to a Timesheet work pattern.

PIN:  if using touch screen terminals linked into WAP, this PIN will be how the user clocks in and out.

Sage payroll employee reference:  the user’s payroll reference number; this will appear on timesheet reporting but there is no direct link between WAP and Sage Payroll.

Weekly contracted hours:  if the setting is enabled in System Settings – Timesheets, users will not be able to submit timesheets until their weekly contracted hours have been reached.

Maximum daily hours (0 for unlimited):  if applicable, enter the maximum number of hours a user can enter per day on a timesheet entry.

Default overtime starts at x hours:  number of hours at which the overtime rate will be applied.

Default overtime 2nd cutoff starts at x hours:  number of hours at which the second overtime rate will be applied, if applicable.

Default overtime 3rd cutoff starts at x hours:  number of hours at which the third overtime rate will be applied, if applicable.

User can only log onto one project or job at a time:  this is used with the T&A terminals to prevent users working on more than one job or project at any one time.

Timesheets Work Pattern:  select from the drop down menu; these work patterns are configured in System Setup – Work Patterns & Pay Rates.


21.7. Expenses & Mileage

The Vehicles and Mileage sub tab relates to user vehicles, commute mileage and claimed business and personal mileage figures.

Default Vehicle:  if a vehicle has been allocated to the user (User Setup – User Vehicles), this will be displayed here and will be automatically pre-selected when the user enters a mileage claim.  Users will always be able to select the default Private rate.

Unrecorded claimed business mileage (Company):  if the user has claimed business miles in the current mileage year on a company car that have not been entered through WAP, this total will need to be entered here to give the correct total for that user’s yearly business mileage claims.  This information should only be entered when the new user is input onto the WAP system.

Unrecorded claimed business mileage (Private):  if the user has claimed business miles in the current mileage year on a private car that have not been entered through WAP, this total will need to be entered here to give the correct total for that user’s yearly business mileage claims.  This information should only be entered when the new user is input onto the WAP system.  Only business miles recorded on a private vehicle will count towards the user’s 10,000 miles limit.

Unrecorded claimed personal mileage:  if the user has claimed personal miles in the current mileage year on either a private or company vehicle, this total should be entered here to give the correct total for that user’s yearly personal mileage claims.  This information should only be entered when the new user is input onto the WAP system.

Total claimed business/personal mileage:  these values will update automatically when the user enters a mileage claim.

Total claimed mileage:  this value will update automatically and is the total of both business and personal mileage claims.

Place of work:  enter the location for where the user will primarily work from to enable the user to select ‘Place of Work’ when entering a mileage claim.

Regular commute (distance from home to place of work):  either enter a value manually or use the Google Maps icon for the user’s regular commute distance.  If the relevant System Settings are enabled, the user’s commute mileage can be deducted from a mileage claim – i.e. if the user passes the office on the way to a site visit.

The Subsistence sub tab relates to subsistence user settings.

Enable subsistence claims:  tick if the user is allowed to enter subsistence claims; subsistence may be enabled but not all users can claim.

Subsistence grade:  if subsistence is enabled, choose from the drop down box the user’s subsistence grade (as configured in System Setup – Subsistence Grades).  For more information on this, see the Expenses Help and User Guide.


21.8. Holidays Tab

Holidays and TOIL work pattern:  select from the drop down menu – these work patterns are configured in System Setup – Work Patterns & Pay Rates.

Entitlement:  the user’s holiday period and entitlement will show for the current period along with a breakdown of hours submitted, taken, booked and showing a total remaining.  This entitlement can be edited if needed (i.e. entitlement added or removed along with notes added).  Default settings and Bank Holidays are configured in System Settings – Holidays.


21.9. Nominals Tab

This tab displays the nominal accounts available to the user.  To add a new nominal account, select the Sage Database, choose the Nominal Account from the drop down list and click Add.  Click Remove if the user is no longer able to access this nominal account.  A value can be added into the Maximum Line Value or Maximum Authorisation Value fields if a specific value other than the user defaults entered on the Accounts option tab is to be used.  If the user is to have access to all nominal codes across all Sage Companies they have access to, tick the “User can access all Nominal Accounts” box.

If adding multiple nominal codes to a user, it is quicker and easier to either use the wizard, copy from another user or use an import.  Please follow link to relevant section where these options are detailed – https://www.sicon.co.uk/user-guide/wap-user-setup/#13


21.10. Jobs Tab

If Job Costing, Project Accounting or WAP Projects are enabled, users can be allocated access to a Job/Project, Job Item Type/Project Item Type or Cost Header/Project Item.  The current allocated projects are shown in the box at the bottom of the screen; to see a full list click on the arrow to the left of the Company.  As new jobs or projects are added in Sage they will need to be allocated to the correct users.  However, if appropriate, checking “Access All xxx” will automatically include these new jobs, projects, item types, cost headers or items.  There is also a wizard functionality within System Settings – User Setup to allocate jobs etc. on a mass level.

When allocating cost headers to a user it is possible to specify which modules these will be available to the user in, and also override the default item and approval values if required.  This can be done on an individual job if that breakdown is necessary.


21.11. Company Access Tab

Select all Companies the user has access to from the Available Companies box; multiple companies can be selected at a time by holding the Shift button.

Defaults sub tab

Click Edit on a company to change the default nominal account, delivery address and invoice address.  Each user can be configured to have permission to be able to change the Nominal Account, Delivery Address and Invoice Address as required.  For example, a user may have only one nominal account that they should use or a particular nominal that they use most of the time.  This can be set as their default nominal code but if permitted, the user may be able to select another if needed.

Expenses sub tab

Supplier Account:  select from the drop down box the Purchase Ledger account to link to the user for personal expense claims.  If a user is to submit an expense claim, they need a PL account linked for all relevant companies.  Always click Update once a supplier account is selected.

Resource:  if Job Costing or Project Accounting is enabled, the user will need to be linked to an Employee or Resource by selecting the correct name from the drop down box.  Always click Update once a resource is selected.

New Expense Supplier:  it is possible from this screen to go through to another page to create a new PL supplier account which will be sent for approval in WAP before appearing in Sage and able to be chosen in WAP.

Time and Attendance sub tab

Resource:  if Job Costing or Project Accounting is enabled, the user will need to be linked to an Employee or Resource by selecting the correct name from the drop down box.  Always click Update once a resource is selected.

Absences sub tab

This tab will show the user’s Bradford Factor score relating to the user’s absence record.

NB: always make sure that Update is clicked to retain the information before Save and Closing the screen.


21.13. User Profile Options

At the bottom of all User profile tabs are the below options:

Save & Close: this will close the user’s profile and save any changes made to that user profile.

Change password:  the admin user would be able to come into a user’s profile and change a password if required.  N.B. this is a user type permission.

Delete user:  this should only be used during first user creation if an error is made.  Once a user has been setup; i.e. included in approval routes or have entered any transactions, the user should not be deleted as this can cause corruption issues.


21.14. User Reports

On the Users page there is the option to run the Nominal Accounts List report; this will list out per user all the nominal codes that have been assigned to that user.


22. Warehouses

In this tab users can be allocated access to Warehouses within each specific Sage Company and whether the warehouse is available to be used with Requisitions or Goods Receiving.

To allocate warehouses to many users at once, click to use the multi user wizard, select the users and then allocate access to warehouse as required.


23. Work Pattern Rates

Link rates set up in WAP to Job Costing or Project Accounting cost rates; this can either be done individually by user or use the wizard to allocate multiple users at a time.  See Timesheets Help and User Guide for further information.
