Add Highlighting / Change Highlighting - Parts Highlighting
Use Parts Highlighting or Parts Requisitions Highlighting to apply row highlighting to part numbers based on the criteria selected. Once configured, the highlighting appears on your Executive Summary or on the Parts Invoicing Details tab, giving your team a quick visual cue of potential issues. This allows users to instantly spot a negative stock (and resolve the discrepancy) or identify parts with missing data (like no bin assigned), without running separate reports.
You can specify the conditions to be highlighted and what colors to use. For example, you can highlight parts with negative on-hand quantities, those with no bin location, or parts that have had zero sales in the past twelve months. These conditions are highlighted by the colors you specify.
