Inadvertent Product inactivation
It has been found that several times users (unidentified of course) have accidentally deactivated items. This seems to occur when they are editing charges or accounts and instead of clicking on the line the click on the hyperlinked product name. The resulting product screen looks just like an invoice so they end up clicking edit and delete thus de-activating the item. Very frustrating to have to reactivate when in the middle of invoicing and of course some do not know how to do this
Gerrie put in a warning box which helps in some cases but there must be some way of preventing this - could Stock control be raised to a higher permission level perhaps?

I would support restricting Products area with a higher user level or role.
RE: Product inactivation
Currently we only have the administrator role, administrator classification and the users reporting level to control access to the application.
The application itself supports the configuration of any number of roles which can be assigned to users. Each of these roles links to one or more authorities which define what records (archetypes in our language) they can create, edit or delete.
It is really a matter of someone putting in some time into defining, developing and testing the authorities and roles and contributing them to the project. The type of roles we might define would be.
General - typical base access to customers, patients etc Reception - invoicing, credits, appointments, tasks etc Clinical - editing and deleting clinical records, documents Stock Ordering - ordering, deliveries, supplier invoices Stock Control - adjustments, transfers etc Product Management - create, edit, delete products and suppliers etc
and then for each of these delve down into the actions they can perform (authorities) i.e.
Reception Create, Edit customers Create, Edit patients Create, Save, Delete appointments Create, Save, Delete tasks Create, Save visits Create, Save documents etc
Product Management Create, Save, Delete products Create, Save, Delete suppliers etc
All you do then is assign roles to users as they are cumulative.
