The Update option allows you to produce an exception report and update PURCHASE CONTROL at the same time. If you select this option, you must take any action on exceptions manually within PURCHASE CONTROL afterwards.
The Update procedure writes the prices, discount codes and quantity advised by the manufacturer onto the purchase order file, even if they are at variance with what was originally ordered.
If the relevant advice note parameter is set (Adv. price update Y/N field), the update also copies the new, advised, retail price and discount code onto both the stock file for the selected company and the manufacturer's price file.
