Item manager
Item Manager allows bulk changes of items and an import/ export feature. Found under the Assistants node, Item Manager extends on Quick Actions giving the ability to view and update item information in a worksheet format via the New columns. Color coding and bold text also appear as detail is changed to help you quickly see what has been updated. Once the detail has been changed, right-click functions allow it to be quickly applied to all items in bulk.
Once items have been updated or adjusted as required, you then have the option to Export the worksheet to a file from Fred Office Plus. This allows the file to be further updated in Excel (if required) or even sent to another store! Once Export is clicked (from the toolbar), you are presented the list of fields to choose to Export.
The Import Wizard (similar to the Promotions and Stocktakes data import wizard), allows CSV, XLS and XLSX files to be imported into Fred Office Plus. The Import Wizard can be used not only to import item information from another store, but to import a Supplier's product list, which can create or update items in bulk with information such as item descriptions, PDE, pack size, supplier cost, and minimum order quantity.
In order to keep a consistent workflow and ensure pricing accuracy, any price changes made via the Item Manager feature are automatically sent to a Pricing Review.
