This displays the same screen as used to add a new product, except that the product code keyed must be that of an existing product record. If not, you are warned accordingly.
On input of a valid product code the details are displayed and can be amended by overtyping. Up and down arrow keys, <TAB> and <Enter> keys may be used here to move between items or alternately you can use the mouse to select the data item to amend.
Either the SAVE button or the <End> key can be used at any point within the screen to complete updating without having to press <Enter> through the remaining values.Once the product record has been amended you are asked for the next product code. <Escape> at this point exits to Invoicer menu.
The Utility panel on the right of the screen allows you to see:
Web – link to the website for the product (if recorded against the product record).
Mail – potentially could launch your email client pre-set with the supplier email address (if recorded against the product record).
Word – show existing Microsoft Word documents created against this product and allow amendment / print of these documents and the creation of new ones.
Image – shows any image linked to the product record.
Links – opens a ‘Windows Explorer’ folder for this product. Within this folder you may have files such as excel spreadsheets, PDF files, etc. If right-click and choose NEW then various options will be available depending on the software installed on the pc.
Map – could link to a map website showing the location of the supplier if the supplier post recorded on this record but more likely to be disabled.
