Updating Standard Menus

This is a printable report that updates the fixed price amount on standard MS menus. An update is typically performed after a parts price update. The report is sequenced in menucode order. When you run the report you are prompted to enter the hourly labour rate you want to use to calculate the fixed price.

The following details are summarised on the report:

• Menucode
• Original value
• New value
• Error message

An error message is generated on the report if the system cannot update an MS menu. There are three reasons why this may happen:

• the RTS code cannot be found
• the part cannot be found
• there is a problem with the supersession

To update standard menus:

1. From the Rev.8 Master Menu, select the Stock management option and Company you require.

   The STOCK MANAGEMENT menu is displayed.

2. Select the Miscellaneous options option and click OK.

   The SM MISCELLANEOUS OPTIONS menu is displayed.

3. Select the Update standard menus option.

   The Update standard menus form is displayed.

4. Enter the hourly labour rate.

5. Click OK.

   The menus are updated, if possible, and the report is printed to the currently selected printer.
