Verifying displayed screen values
This solution describes how to verify the accuracy of specific fields within Big Business. From time to time for certain reasons Big Business will not be able to update the screen value so that it matches the value stored in the database. By following the instructions in this solution you can verify or recalculate this value in order to view the correct value stored in the database. (5167)
Big Business allows you to verify the accuracy of your data file by recalculating specific values based on all of the existing information contained within your database. For example, you can verify that a customer’s balance still equals the open amount of all outstanding invoices.
To use this new verification feature, open up the record that you wish to verify. With the window open hold down the Command, Option, and Shift keys at the same time and then click on the field you wish to verify. On Windows, substitute the Control, Alt and Shift and click on the field you wish to verify.
Big Business will verify the accuracy of the data and return a message if the data is correct. If the value is off, you will be asked if you would like to update the information to the newly calculated value. You may verify Customer and Vendor Balances, MTD Totals, YTD Totals, Quantity Allocated, Quantity on Order, Quantity on Hand, Quantity Available, Quantity Needed, Total Cost, and Average Cost.
Warning: Do not perform the verify operation if you have cleared transactions in previous periods. The calculated totals will not include cleared information.
