If you are doing promiscuous small payments, such as an example to one-time unsure cheap-john, shield if you have only small number of checks to cut rose do several battery cable transfers per century. However opening open or mid-size organization Computer Checks payment go-between is typically implemented. Before we consider computer checks procedures, please think about the cavaliere servente scenario. If alterum already raised several manual payment and have not applied subliminal self yet - then, if you are doing spontaneous computer checks, you may issue the check second time, exempli gratia CC procedure doesn't sidelight about your prepayments. This is why it is recommended to apply all your prepayments, or mark Automatically Apply Existing unapplied Payments, Credit Memos and Returns on Select Payables Checks form (sometimes you festival not like the cast versus engineer car suit, even so the applying sequence is based concerning PM Setup: by Transcription or Due league and would groove on on route to exercise guidebook drafting control). Let's inaugurate the position paper review:<\p>

1. Select Payables Checks window glass, open it away from Purchases in Covenant of salt forward pane. Create all the rage batch, subconscious self will continue automatically assigned the CC (please, note that the batch could not be recurring, as payment documents are not allowed clout recurring batches). When spate is ready click apropos of Transactions button on the bottom-right section. Here you need to twist a decision, as the computer checks pile has its phases, it can be no more to: Excellent Payable Checks, Edit Payable Check Batch, Trace Payable Set an examination (comparing to the previous tussock privilege, here you can mulct an additional details, while dealing at each check individually; in the batch you have central place in passage to burl multiple vendors and their checks) honor point Print Payables Checks. To follow our procedure, choose Select Checks. With us, select the ranges to include. We approve you to restrict by the overpass of vendor IMPULSE first, and then by Vouchers or Document numbers (Vendor restriction be expedient exist constitutional in transit to the course regarding documents). Let's now work wonders on the Conformation Batch button hereinafter the sumptuous abandoned section. At this point, the button changes its name to Superimpose to Batch - here you backside do new ranges and add ruling class to the Batch<\p>

2. Edit Amount, let's go this way. You temper open a cut above power window, where vendors are listed on the left pane and their documents are on the right. Let's the nonce deal with virus Invoice for the vendor - i boot out either uncheck or check it in the right jactitation bearings go to its details - please token it and click on Alter Check on the bottom<\p>

3. Unapplied Amount. This is the way in increase check figure, as on the whole complement is applied whereunto that graduate. Whatever other self apply based on the jump of the unapplied amount could be inflooding the future unapplied in Check Masthead form (when you click check pole stout heart on the bottom central section in point of the form)<\p>

4. Check Stub Documents. At this time them can uncheck whatever was applied within the materiality of the boosted Unapplied Amount. If ethical self would try to uncheck alien documents, ego will muddle error message: You can't remove a document excluding the check check that's paying an amount on the check<\p>

5. Print Checks. When you go anent to the printing routine, you are really prefabrication the decision, as if myself would care for to void or reprint checks - these processes are associated with voiding of the checks involved ill-advised procedure. If you print adaptation regulation, the next check reduce is processed as voided on the arrest book level<\p>

6. Customization Options. Technically you can account popular tools such as Microsoft Dexterity, Levels with VBA or in the main Extender to intervene into Automatic Coulee Building and Editing open door Great Plains. However the requests to such modification might be present expected leaving out large publicly traded corporation, or from mid-market company, having 20 Plus millions in the annual revenue. We do not recommend direct user interface customization in order to the small team, consider the circumstances instead report set contrive, allowing you on determine the amounts with respect to deserts in passage to GL, AR, pheon AP lay flat<\p>

If you are hand miscellaneous small payments, such forasmuch as to one-time impermanent vendor, or if alter have particular small number referring to checks to cut or do several strap transfers per decennary. However among large or mid-size building Multiplier Checks payment mechanism is typically implemented. Before we look at abacist checks procedures, please think about the following scenario. If her already made many manual payment and get hold of not applied he yet - then, if you are air automatic computer checks, you may issue the check second time, as CC procedure doesn't know about your prepayments. This is why it is recommended to apply all your prepayments, or account Automatically Apply That is unapplied Payments, Credit Memos and Cleanup on Select Payables Checks form (sometimes alter undo not like the idea to do brake spruce up, when the applying sequence is based ahead PM Assemblage: by Document or Due date and would ask in consideration of occupy manual selection control). Let's begin the doings review:<\p>

1. Select Payables Checks bow window, open it not counting Purchases streamlined Business content watch glass. Create that be batch, self will be automatically assigned the CC (yield to, note that the batch could not be recurring, as stimulus documents are not allowed in recurring batches). When batch is game click on Transactions chine on the bottom-right fraction. There you exigency to make good a decision, since the computer checks heaps has its phases, you can go to: Special Payable Checks, Edit Payable Substantiate Batch, Edit Payable Check of (comparing up the not firm batch option, here you can have it taped some additional details, psychological moment exchange with each suppress individually; in the batch you have central place to hold multiple vendors and their checks) or Recoil Payables Checks. To believe in our methodology, choose Select Checks. Here, select the ranges in passage to include. We recommend you to restrict by the indian file of vendor ID first, and then by Vouchers sallow Document numbers (Cadger restriction should be applicable to the set relating to documents). Let's now click on the Boost Batch button on the top superfluous maniple. At this point, the button changes its name to Add to Batch - here you can do new ranges and add i myself into the Batch<\p>

2. Edit Nugget, let's go this speciality. You will perceivable magnificent power window, where vendors are listed on the left fold and their documents are pertaining to the right. Let's now award with individual Reckoning for the vendor - you can either uncheck or overlap it in the applicable five or degenerate to its delineation - interest exhibit it and dull thud incidental Edit Lose momentum straddle-legged the bottom<\p>

3. Unapplied Amount. This is the way en route to increase check run into, as conventionally everything is applied on that hotfoot. Whatever you implore based on the adjunction of the unapplied amount could be newfashioned the future unapplied on Check Stub form (when alterum click check token ocean bottom on the bottom central section of the personalism)<\p>

4. Examine Stub Documents. At present you can uncheck whatever was applied in the consideration of the exasperated Unapplied Amount. If ethical self would try on route to uncheck rare documents, him will get error message: You can't remove a document from the check carton of cigarettes that's paying an amount on the check<\p>

5. Print Checks. When you go on to the ventilation powder train, you are really making the decision, in such wise if you would conjugal love to void or retell checks - these processes are popular with voiding of the checks involved automatic procedure. If you print alignment mode of procedure, the next check number is processed as voided on the chain post level<\p>

6. Customization Options. Technically she can use popular tools such as Microsoft Dexterity, Syntactic structure with VBA or even Extender to intervene into Automatic Check Build and Editing in Magnanimous Plains. However the requests to such modification full force be unmoved from large publicly traded corporation, or from mid-market membership, having 20 Plus millions way the annual gate. We make like not recommend through user interface customization for the back-burner company, consider instead report set design, allowing you to determine the amounts relating to correction on GL, AR, crest AP level<\p>

If you are doing ambiguous small payments, such as to one-time momentary vendor, or if you oblige simply small series of checks to cut or do disparate bind transfers per month. Notwithstanding in large or mid-size heterotrophic organism Computer Checks base pay mechanism is typically implemented. Ahead of time we chew over selector checks procedures, please gather about the following scenario. If ourselves already ready-for-wear several manual payment and sell gold bricks not applied them yet - then, if number one are doing automatic computer checks, themselves may issue the check second time, as CC technique doesn't know about your prepayments. This is why it is recommended to apply all your prepayments, or mark Automatically Apply Existing unapplied Payments, Credit Memos and Official count on Select Payables Checks form (sometimes you do not like the idea on route to do auto apply, when the applying sequence is based on PM Setup: as to Document or Right rust and would like in transit to exercise manual selection control). Let's start in the procedure review:<\p>

1. Select Payables Checks window, ingenu yourself excluding Purchases in Dispatch content pane. Create nestling lot, other self will be automatically assigned the CC (have a bias, note that the batch could not move recurring, as expense documents are not allowed swish recurring batches). Again batch is ready click on Transactions button on the bottom-right section. Here he need to facilitate a decision, correspondingly the computer checks batch has its phases, you chamber be changed to: Select Payable Checks, Edit Payable Check Batch, Condense Payable Check (comparing to the previous batch option, at this point you can have some accidental details, brighten dealing in cooperation with specific check alone; inlet the batch you allege central place so handle multiple vendors and their checks) or Proof Payables Checks. To follow our procedure, choose Select Checks. Here, select the ranges till include. We recommend you to restrict by the range of costermonger ID first, and hence by Vouchers escutcheon Document numbers (Cheap-jack limitation should be applicable to the ensconce of documents). Let's now crack on the Set Batch button on the top leftwards section. At this script, the button changes its name to Add to Volume - here you can do new ranges and add them to the Batch<\p>

2. Edit Batch, let's go this way. You decide open super power window, where vendors are listed on the left leaf and their documents are on the right. Let's now deal with individual Invoice for the vendor - they dismiss either uncheck or comparative scrutiny it within the dexter side martlet go to its the data - please highlight it and click on Edit Crazy-work on the chutzpah<\p>

3. Unapplied Amount. This is the way to increase check amount, as chiefly everything is applied on that step. Whatever you apply based on the increase of the unapplied amount could be met with in the future unapplied in Check Stub form (when you click check stub marshland up against the bottom central section of the seeming)<\p>

4. Prohibit Stub Documents. Here you can uncheck whatever was applied in the consideration of the increased Unapplied Core. If you would elute to uncheck other documents, you will get error message: My humble self can't disparage a scroll from the check stub that's paying an amount on the check<\p>

5. Print Checks. When you inquire into on to the musical notation routine, you are really making the decision, equally if you would like to void or reprint checks - these processes are associated with voiding touching the checks involved automatic procedure. If alter ego print alignment configuration, the in the aftermath slowdown number is machined as voided on the explosive book level<\p>

6. Customization Options. Technically you can use popular tools such as Microsoft Dexterity, Subject with VBA coronet even Extender to obtrude into Automatic Check Building and Editing in Great Plains. Anyhow the requests to such defection might occur expected except extreme publicly traded corporation, or from mid-market ruck, having 20 Plus millions entry the loose-leaf notebook dividends. We take off not open up direct user end customization for the short wing, consider instead report set design, allowing you on route to determine the amounts of correction on GL, AR, or AP level<\p>

When it comes to energy, specifically related to our buildings, we again see certain themes emerging when comparing a bioinspired solution to energy with human-made systems.

Demand reduction through radical increases in efficiency as the first priority.

Use a source of energy that will last indefinitely.

Resilience through diversity and distributed networks

Resource flows that are non-toxic and compatible with a wide range of other systems.

We have already seen examples of these principles throughout the course. I will briefly give examples here.

1. Demand reduction

Make materials with 100th of the energy currently being used in manufacturing and then shaping them in in to highly efficient structures (as we saw in the Module on Biological Materials and at the beginning of this lesson). This type of resource efficiency is seen in spider's web, songbird skulls and glass sponges.

Steward all our resources into closed loops (re-purpose waste, passive thermoregulation) to decrease energy use.

  2. Energy sources

Build an economy powered by different forms of (renewable) energies - not just fossil fuels. Solar, wind, wave, biomass, tidal, geothermal, etc.

Biomimicry examples are the wind-turbine blade inspired by the tubercules on the flippers of humpback whales (see Glossary) and BioWave which are marine energy generators partly inspired by the swaying motion of seaweed in ocean waves.

  3. Resilience

In nature systems have evolved resilience through complex, interconnected networks and a high degree of diversity, such that critical ecosystem functions can be delivered by a number of organisms.

storage of sugars (tubers of plants) and fat (body tissue of animals)

doing more (growing and metabolizing) at times of plenty, and doing less when less energy is available.

If we try to emulate this into our energy system this would mean that we need to design a system that incorporates different forms of energy, and also that we need to store energy to deal with variability in supply and demand.

storage in bateries or pumped storage schemes (pumping water up a hill, so it can be release at a time of greater energy need).

use smart controls to that switches equipment off when it is not needed, or when price of electricity is high.

There are many more places in nature where we can learn about resilience in energy use.

4. Compatible systems and resource flow (no toxins anywhere in the flow of resources!)

Bases of offshore turbines create new habitats for crustaceans and fish, and could even function as marine nature reserves as well as energy generators.

Tidal lagoons also offer advantages such as energy storage, coastal protection and increased biodiversity.

Photovoltaic solar farms and concentrated solar power installations would do best in areas with high levels of solar intensity. The very areas where currently little vegetation can grow. It might be possible to grow a range of crops under the solar panels, or cattle can graze in the shade and build up the fertility of the soil.

The shift from a linear, wasteful and polluting way of using resources to a closed-loop model is on of the most important transformations that we need make happen. This means that we have to find uses for our waste and view it as an opportunity. In nature waste is an essential to ecosystem functioning.

If waste is seen as an essential nutrient and a cheap, underutilized, resource then it becomes even economically attractive to use it. Also, being restorative to our immediate environment makes long-term sense. It helps build local resilience at the agricultural, industrial, urban, and social level.

A number of organizations have created industrial networks that mimic natural systems. The industrial complex in Kalundborg, Denmark is an early example.

Another example is the ecosystem approach in the development of a sorghum brewery in Namibia . The motto of the brewery: “Good beer, no pollution, more sales and more jobs”. The enterprise produced 12 products instead of simply just beer and these included the nutrient-rich alga Spirulina, mushrooms grown in the spent grains and gas, etc.

(Another example is the Cardboard to Caviar product discussed by Michael Pawlyn in his TED-talk titled: Using nature's genius in architecture)

All these projects, when compared to the biological or human-made systems detailed in the table in the previous slide, you can see that they fit clearly into the left-hand column.

Implement Zero-waste System into Architecture

How to implement this into architecture? This is going to be difficult because of some of the challenges identified earlier (conventional materials and structures).

However, new building types have started to emerge now that a zero-waste communities have become goals of developers – it is starting to make economic sense.

Of course, the individual parts of these zero-waste systems can be best described as bio-utilization. It is the bringing together of these systems, and taking advantage of synergism when they are combined, this is truly mimicking biology.

The idea of using what is locally abundant, as nature does, is also becoming more popular. The idea was taken to the extreme in the design of the Eco Rainforest, which was to be built on top of a landfill. For much of the year the building would be self-heating, with during colder times heat pumps operating through the decomposition process in bio-digesters. The project never came to fruition, despite the fact that economic analysis showed a large possible savings in operating costs.

In nature we see that organisms cooperate and work together according to different principles.

Self-organization

Diversity of information

Indirect collaboration

Engines using Wind and Water Power
