  Record Locking for Data Protection

Big Business 8 adds new features for data integrity:
• Locking related POs and Bills (8.7)
• Locking related Invoices and Receipts (8.6)

In earlier versions of Big Business it is possible to create errors by editing multiple records at the same time, such as editing related POs and Bills at the same time to create a discrepancy in Purchase Order Status or a Qty Open.

This Solution describes these features. (6295)

The yellow Lock Icon indicates a record is In Use by another User. This may mean the User is using the same record or a related record, such as:
• editing the PO for a Bill
• editing another Bill for the same PO

This feature prevents changing related records at the same time.

Click the yellow Lock Icon to identify the User or Workstation locking the record. Close the record and open it again at a later time to see if is unlocked.



  Customer Update

Larrry was the first to notice a slowdown saving a Receive Money entry when paying 500 Invoices at time. Jim took greater notice because he might have 1000 Invoices for Amazon on one Receipt and he is working remotely (running Big Business Client and connecting to Big Business Server hosted in another state).

Larry and Jim are stars for bringing the initiative and insight needed to optimize the Customer Update function, which was taking too long when paying hundreds of Invoices at once. (6302)

Customer Update is optimized for Big Business 8.7.

These changes are included in Big Business 8.6, Build 3283 and higher.
Changes are also included in Big Business 7, Build 2885 and higher.
