This feature, which is available on all modules of the system, allows the System Administrator to either prevent users from gaining access to the Stock Checking module, or if that has already been carried out, to allow them access once again.
It can also be used to display a list of users currently logged into Stock Checking, possibly prior to deciding whether or not to prevent any further access, or to clear the Stock Checking control file of any users who at one time logged into the system but did not log out correctly, and have left a corresponding entry in the control file.
To prevent/allow access, display users or clear illegal users:
From the Master Menu, select the Stock checking option and the Company you require.
You are prompted for the stock location.
Select the Stock Location.
The STOCK CHECKING menu is displayed.
Select the System maintenance option.
The SC SYSTEM MAINTENANCE menu is displayed.
Select the Prevent/allow access option.
The Prevent/allow access form is displayed.
Do one of the following:
To prevent/allow access, select/unselect the Status box.
To display users, click the Display Users button.
To clear illegal users, click the Clear Illegal Users button.
The Prevent/allow access form is displayed when you select the Prevent/allow access option from the SC SYSTEM MAINTENANCE menu.
