Find information about user permissions and Stockwand change in Amlib.

User permissions

Mass change within the Stockitem module now has Security settings available so that it can be a facility only given to certain Users.

Note: Stockitem Wand Change is a useful facility for performing Mass Changes as it can be applied to Stockitems by wanding them, from a Saved Where Search OR from a Saved File – see notes at the end of this document for how to run the Stockwand Change facility. There is also the ability to save the Process for use at a later date
