Details of Changes are given below:

Administration – User Profile – Multi Store Distribution

• ‘Allow authorization of Store Transfer Order’ checkbox has been added, checking of which will authorize the user to create STOs which can be packaged. STOs created by unauthorized user can not be packaged.
• ‘Allow access to Package Manager’ option has been changed to ‘Allow selection of item other than scanning in Create Package (Adhoc)’ checking of the same will enable the Select Item option for the user.

 Multi Store Distribution – Order Management – Store Transfer Order (STO)

   ‘Authorized By’ check box has been added. When user is unauthorized (set in the user profile), the option will be disabled and the respective user can create STO(s) which cannot be packaged until those STO(s) are authorized by any authorized user. Authorized user can check the authority and can authorize unauthorized STO documents.

  Status of STOs as ‘OPEN’ (Not yet Packaged), ‘CLOSE’ (Fully used either being Package and/or Cancelled) or ‘PARTIAL’ (Partly Packaged and/or partly cancelled) will be displayed in the top right corner of the form.

• In the OPEN stage, Authorized user can modify and delete the whole STO document. An unauthorized user cannot modify or delete the already authorized document but can modify the document but cannot authorize it.
