in previous versions of POS, when running a purchase? the inventory count is updated per line item inputed, why is it removed?
example
line 1 stock #1 sold 1 pc. inventory count = 20
line 2 stock #1 sold 1 pc. inventroy count = 20
.....
line 50 stock#1 sold 1 pc. inventroy count = 20
is this a bug?
thanks

Well no, you haven't completed the sale yet - so the stock isn't out of inventory.
E.g. if you put a sale on hold - the stock hasn't left your inventory just yet, or if you voided the sale - DHPOS would have to take time using extra code just to put all the items in the voided sale back into inventory. When it could have avoided this by just waiting until the end of a sale as it currently does.
By leaving the code that removes stock from inventory until the sale is completed - avoids Dale having to think up every exit path someone may make from a sale to put all that inventory back - otherwise there would be serious count glitches.
Hope this makes sense.
