Overview

The Updates Tab in Softbase 3.0 allows users to efficiently apply changes, such as pricing, descriptions, or comments, across multiple warehouses or branches. This ensures consistency in part information across the system, reducing manual updates and errors.

   • Click on the Updates tab to view the update options.

2. Update Pricing Across Warehouses

   • Navigate to the Pricing section of the part record.
   • Modify the price (e.g., change the cost to $10).
   • Return to the Updates Tab.
   • Click All Pricing to apply the changes to all warehouses.

3. Update Specific Fields

   • Use the respective options in the Updates Tab for targeted updates:
     • Description: Update the part’s description across all warehouses.
     • List Only: Apply changes to the list price only, leaving cost and other fields untouched.

4. Branch-Specific Updates
