Select either the Product or the Product Code from one of the drop down lists.  You should see something similar to

      



From this page you can

  • Alter the Product Status
  • Alter the order that Processes are listed in by simply dragging and dropping them
  • Alter Processes.  Be very careful when altering Processes as this will alter the relevant Tasks spent on Jobs that include this Product.  This includes Jobs that contain that Product that may already have been finished and also those that are currently being worked on.  If a Product has a different Process then it is better to make a new Process with a different name.  If you are in any doubt about this we recommend you not alter Processes in existing Products and contact Empower for advice  
  • Alter the Budgeted Time
  • Alter Sequencing or create an Auto Sequence - note that the Auto Sequence button will not be available if there are any existing Sequences in the Product.
  • Delete Processes from this Product.  Be very careful when deleting a Process as this will also delete all the Tasks and times spent on that Process for that Product.  This includes Jobs that contain that Product that may have already been finished and also those that are currently being worked on.  Should you delete these, these will not be able to be recovered.   If an existing Product has different Processes from those previously used, then it is better to make a new Process with a different name.  If you are in any doubt we recommend you not delete it and contact Empower for advice. 


 To delete a Product see Deleting Products.
