The lower section contains all Other Refresh Options available when updating products from the catalog. Check the options on/off to set which fields are to be updated to your inventory products.

With all of your options set, click the OK button at the bottom of the window. Enter the password for the user logged into Retail Operations to confirm the action (to see who is logged on, look at the very top left of the application window where it reads EncomPos Retail Operations - (name of user logged on)). For large updates a status bar will show the progress being made, which may not be seen for smaller updates or additions to inventory.

If the product(s) was added to inventory as the update option, use the Task Menu and select the option to Refresh Inventory Status. This will change the orange status ball to green, indicating the product exists in the inventory file.

Add A Catalog Product to Inventory From the Inventory:

Adding a new product on the Inventory Form View is the only way to access the Supplier link for pulling product information from a catalog over to the inventory. Go to the Inventory Form View on the tree view menu. Click the first icon in the toolbar to create a New Product record.

Enter the product code for the new item in the Product Code field - this product code must match that which is in the supplier catalog in order to access and bring back the information to the inventory product. With the product code set, click the blue, underlined Supplier link, the field name for identifying the supplier.

This will pull up all of the Product Catalog Entries found on that code. If the product exists in multiple catalogs, each entry will be listed in this window. Each of the refresh options are selected at the bottom of this window except for the Suggested Retail, which can be checked to use but is defaulted off. Select the supplier entry and refresh options and click the OK button to pull the values over to the Inventory Form View.

Finish editing the product (i.e. set the Department and Reorder Settings) and save the record by clicking the Save icon in the toolbar. Note that if you have opted to use the Catalog Suggested Retail that when setting the Department, the option to update the retail price and keep the same margin should be Unchecked in order to not affect the already applied suggested retail.
