The Edit Interlocks feature allows each distributor to choose which, if any, of the available interlock features are active.

 

•The interlock feature has been implemented in such ways that processes which currently do not support the interlock, such as Print Invoice, will not be affected if an "edit lock" is in place when they are running. In the case of Print Invoice, it has little or no direct conflict with Change Invoice. So under most circumstances there is little reason to prevent the document from being printed, even if someone is currently in the process of changing it.

 

•Prevents two workstations from editing the same Invoice at the same time.

•Stops the printing of Loading Sheets for a document which is currently open for editing.

•Prevents two workstations from creating a new invoice for the same customer at the same time.

Food Show Orders

If you have entrée.FS, the Food Show add-on module, a section for Food Show Orders will also display in the dialog window. You have the option to interlock on Create and Change Food Show Order. This feature is only implemented in the Create Invoice, Change Invoice and Print Loading Sheet processes of the main  entrée system.
