  Locked By

Locked By lets you click the Lock or In Use icon to find out why a record is locked.

You might know you can click the Lock icon to see who is using a record, like a Customer, that is normally unlocked.

Locked By adds an explation for transactions like Invoice, which can be locked by Payments, being in a Locked Period, and being from a Closed Order.

Locked By Order - this is the explanation for a locked invoice from a Closed Order. If you partially invoice and then cancel the remaining order by marking it Closed, this locks the invoice to ensure consistency. To unlock the invoice, mark the order as Unclosed.

  Search Color

Search Color changes override automatic coloring for objects like Filter that may iritate. The need for documentation is that there are now three moving targets to contend with.

If you notice a coloring problem -- here the rounded rectange for filter was distracting-- please email support@bigbusiness.com being sure to include any platform information.

This fix was made for Big Business 14 running on Monterey (pictured) in Dark Mode.



  iPad Customer Price Level

Price Level lets you use different pricing for different customers when entering Orders.

Preset Items add your five Price Levels, so you can have pricing like Retail, Wholesale. Preset Customers include Price Level so they automatically use their pricing in Orders.

When you add New Customers you can set Price Level so it is used for prices on iPad. When you add Customers to Big Business from iPad any change to Price Level is kept.
