Earlier releases have introduced definable pick lists into
Order Processing for the Sales/Purchase Order Headers, Sales and Purchases
Ledgers and Stock Control. Release 6.8
now extends this facility to the Sales/Purchase Order Details.
The pick lists allow you to review a set of detail records,
allowing enquiry options plus updating/editing records as required. Up to nine pick lists can be defined for the
details file, each list has its own selection criteria and definition layout
which can be configured as needed.
Selecting your pick list menu option will prompt, if configured,
for you to confirm or enter any required selection criteria or filters and will
then list the applicable detail records for review.
Available actions to perform against the highlighted entry
include:
Enquiry – links to the Order Enquiry option for the Sales/Purchase Order that the currently highlighted detail is linked to.
Zoom – links to the Ledger Enquiry option for the Sales/Purchase Order that the current highlighted detail is linked to.
