First, let us look at the Command List bar.
| Button |
Action |
| Save Changes |
Whenever you edit or add a product you want to be sure to save your changes! |
| Delete Product |
Deleting a product totally removes the product record from the database. This does not
affect previously created invoices. |
| Sync Invoice Item Cost |
By default, the product cost of an invoice item is set to the cost value of that product
when you create an invoice, and the total cost of the invoice is calculated based on that cost.
However, you can use this button to update all invoice items related to the product and
to set their cost value to the product's current cost.

| Product Category |
This button displays the Product Category window where you can add, edit,
and delete product categories. |
| Product Report |
This button displays the Reports window where you can create new reports.
|
| Refresh |
Reload data from the database. This command is used basically in a network environment
where multiple users open the same database. You can use this button to refresh data modified
by other uses. |
