Why are users not forced to select a department when creating a transaction, despite the “Users must select a department when adding items onto and order” option being enabled?
Users can only view departments that they’re assigned to. If a user only belongs to a single department, and the “Users must select a department when adding items onto an order” option is enabled, the items that the user places on the transaction will automatically be assigned to the single department they belong to, without a selection being required.
There are 2 ways to assign users to a department:
- Select "Manage Branch" from the dropdown menu at the top right
- Select either "users" or "departments" from the left hand side menu.
For users, you can click on the second from the left button under "actions" that says "Edit Access". On this view, you'll also be able to see which department each user has access to.
From this menu, you can indicate which branches and departments that each user has access to.
For departments:
Click on the edit button on the right hand side of the department that you wish to assign users to.
A handful of options will be available for that department including a list of users to select from.
Remember to click "Save Department" after making any changes.
