@lubos grateful for all these updates. But there is a security gap which we have reported many times but help has not come. When you set automatic prices (selling prices) for items, the person entering either sales invoices or receipts can still edit the unit price of the very item you have set automatic selling price. This is a big flaw and needs to be dealt. Why should I set my prices and when my sales person is entering invoice or receipts should be able to edit the prices?
@Kwame, that is not a security issue as that terminology is generally used in the world of information technology. That is an internal business management and personnel training issue. It does not reflect an outside hack or unauthorized access to the program. It represents poor discipline of people given access to the program within your own security protocols, whatever they may be.
You might wish you could place more restrictions on what authorized users can do. But that indicates a desire for a new feature ( or, more precisely, finer granulation of permission features already available). It does not represent a “security gap.”

@Tut, thank you for the education on technology terminology. But I think that issue I raised should be worked on from the developers end. It will really help some of us who want to introduce this software in organisations with larger transactions everyday
Trust is good, but effective controls are even better. It is genuinely surprising to see that Manager still lacks this capability at its current stage of development. This feature is long overdue and should have been implemented by now. It is quite concerning that it has not been given the attention it deserves.
The issue has been raised on the forum in the past.

I have moved these posts to a new topic. They were not related to the topic where @Kwame originally posted.
Please do not divert topics with unrelated issues. That violates forum rules.
Hello,
Can Manager.io add a feature to stop users from changing unit prices when automatic selling prices are set? This would make it easier to manage and more secure, especially for businesses with many transactions. Is there any simple way to handle this for now?
No, improve your own businesses practices. If you have staff that mess things up it is up to the business Management to deal with it. Why shoiuld software be the solution to managerial issues?

Hi Eko
I guess it’s a wise solution to the problem to have editing limits for preset prices among other stuff
It will serve the users alot and save alot of hectic work reviewing this and that and handling this employee or that
It will keep entry errors close to 0 specially if there’re many entry employees and alot of micro transactions
Serving the flow of reliable invoicing process and thus reliable reporting figures
In such cases it is advised to use a separate POS application and keep Manager for accounting (is an Accounting app, not an ERP), see for example:
I don’t know maybe i am wrong but the new inventory valuation method is making me think that @lubos is trying to reduce dependency of transactions over other accounts/items. That might make Manager suitable for handling large data.
Manager can use large data for accounting but it is not a POS, which is far more suitable for large volumes of daily sales, inventory management, bar code reading, discounts, refunds, etc. Manager does well for invoicing in reasonable volumes.
