Mass Updates of Inventory Items
Mass Updates will allow the user to update certain fields in their Part Masters. The WinNetStar Administrator must grant permission to those users who will have access to the module. This permission will allow the user to access Inventory > Utilities > Mass Updates.
Mass Updates is similar to the Inventory Master List. You can use Pre-Fetch or Post-Fetch filters, Filter Editors, save and modify Layouts, and group column headers to create the list that you can then update based on the selections in the header.
Currently, you can mark Part Master(s) as Inactive or Active, change Pricing, Stocking, and Accounting Sources, update Stock Classes, and change Best Stocking Level and Best Reorder Points Quantities.
In this example, we are going to update the Pricing Source for all parts with the description of Filter. The Pricing Source has been added, and a search for all Item Descriptions for "Filter" has been fetched. This list can then be filtered down even further, or the user can start check-marking those items to be updated.
By using the Selected for Update checkbox, there are now six items that are to be updated.
After clicking on Pricing Source, a selection box pops up for the user to select the Pricing Source they wish to use.
Select the appropriate Pricing Source and click OK.
The user will receive a warning message with the quantity of items to be changed.
Once the update is complete, the total number of items changed will be displayed.
After the data has been changed, the user can Fetch the list again to see the changed items.
Once a list has been filtered or grouped to include the data that is being updated, the user can also use the "Select All" option to choose only the items that match the filter in the Pre-Fetch, Post-Fetch, or created by using the Filter Editor.
Lists can be grouped to aid in selecting specific items to be updated. However, the list will need to be fully expanded before you can update items.
Inactivate/ Activate Items will display a radio button to select the appropriate flag. Select one and click OK.
Pricing, Stocking, Accounting Sources, and Stock Class will display all options. Highlight the selection you wish to change to and click OK or double-click on the line item to select and accept.
BSL Override Quantity and BRP Override Quantity require a numeric value with no more than two decimal places.
