Bulk Updating Prices

Wondering if there was an easy way of changing prices across the board - perhaps according to product type? Must be an easier way of doing this other than one item at a time.

Re: Bulk Updating Prices
Hi Glen,
No current workspace to do this but has been discussed many times and noted as a crucial enhancement for OpenVPMS. In order to get into a release we need clear written definition of what it has to do from a users perspective and then a project setup, costed and funded.
I am sorry that I am throwing out the same old line over and over again but I don't think the message is getting through. You (community you that is) can't just wait for some third party to get these projects up and running for you if you need them so urgently. You guys need to get active and pushy otherwise it will sit there like the many projects that are awaiting discussion and funds (take SMS for example .. everyone wants it .. only very few have supported it!).
I will also note that there are only a few practices who consistently offer some input and advice on these forums and even fewer who commit funds (thanks Glen and those others who always seem to contribute something). There are many, many practices out there using OpenVPMS and have taken advanatage of a powerful program at next to no cost. Unfortunately only very few of these genuinely give back to the project. If only a small proportion of the people who requested things committed valuable discussion and funds to the projects they wanted we would have a very long list of completed development projects. As far as the rest who sit back and take advantage of everyone elses good will, I suppose thats human nature. You can't help but be a little disappointed though ..
Cheers
Tony

Hi Tony & Glen,
Yep. Echo Tony's sentiments.
As for your query Glen, we do our price updates via direct updating of the database. Not recommended by anyone and limited to very few.
