During the installation and subsequent data validation, there are numerous settings and general configuration switches that must be adjusted to optimize the interaction with your unique accounting system installation and operating circumstances. The general settings you have access to are a subset of B&P's general settings, and in some cases a member of the technical support staff may direct you on how to modify them.
Global generic staff is considered a configurable general setting because it is an integral component of both project and organization budgeting processes. You should load a generic staff list that reflects the labor categories and associated hourly cost and billing rates used by the organization contracts/proposal shop.
These general settings and processes are important because of their pervasive impact on data within the database.
