Inventory module good, but other modules cumbersome to use

4.0 3 weeks ago New

Comments: The inventory side is good, but the manufacturing side and the RMAs for repairs are cumbersome.

Pros:

Inventory system is intuitive. Ability to assign access right to users.

Cons:

Manufacturing module is cumbersome Sometimes product updates disable features that were available before, such as a couple of years ago, we could be looking at a part and hit the "To Inventory" button and be able to adjust quantities. Now only those who are able to create parts have the "To Inventory" button available. I want almost everyone to be able to adjust inventory levels, but next to no one able to create parts. The "To Inventory" button should have its own permission access right.
