In this edition, explore expert insights, customer success stories, and tools to power your next leap. Let's make this month count—together! | In this edition, we cover: | | Product updates | Stronger control over stock updates with role-based validation We've added a new safeguard in Stock Update to prevent unauthorized staff from changing Quantity and Issue Unit (I/U) fields. Access to edit these is now controlled via Security Manager > Screen Configuration. Why this matters: In many retail, restaurant, and distribution businesses, inventory edits are prone to manual errors or misuse, especially when multiple users access the system. With this update: Only authorized roles can modify sensitive stock data. Inventory is safeguarded during internal transfers or stock updates to prevent loss or manipulation. Business owners can maintain stock accuracy and accountability. Chains or businesses with multiple billing counters and store staff enjoy easier operations. Users gain tighter control, a reduced risk of stock mismatches, and better trust in your reports.
