This routine includes the process of updating the inventory control data in the Item file for several item/warehouse combinations using the fast update function.
Maintaining and updating the data for each item/warehouse combination in the system is a time consuming process. However, this function allows you to make global updates of many of the fields in the Item file and save time.
Through this function you can also make a combined selection, selecting on several values for several fields and connecting all selected records to a specific inventory control code table entry.
There are two fast update functions, referred to as Fast update I and Fast update II. The “select” and “omit” procedures are identical for both functions. The difference is the fields that can be updated.
Enquiries and printouts
- Item file enquiry
- Fast update control list. A control list is always printed when you use the fast update functions. The control list prints all selected records from the Item file including the old values and the new values for the updated field(s) for all updated records.
