# Compare & Update

The Compare & Update program allows you to view the differences in Product and Size data between any two outlets.

It also allows you to update an outlet with new data from another outlet.

The main benefit of this program is the ability to bring all of your outlets up to date regarding product codes, descriptions etc. as, over time, they may have become out of step.

It is fairly self-explanatory what each button does and it is not described in detail.

Important points :

- The program will only operate on the most recent audit database for each outlet.

- The Compare button will give you two reports. The first will indicate products/sizes which are in one outlet but not in the other. The second will show you products/sizes which are different and it will highlight the differences.

- The Update button will update Outlet 2 with the data that is in Outlet 1. The database fields which are updated can be defined using the Settings button.

- The Add to Outlet 2 button will add in those products/sizes which are in outlet 1 but not in outlet 2.

- The Delete from Outlet 2 button will delete those products which are in outlet 2 but not in outlet 1.

- It is only Outlet 2 that will ever be updated. Outlet 1 will never be changed by this program.

- You can use the Delete All Products/Sizes buttons to remove all of the products/sizes from Outlet 2. You should normally follow this by using the Add to Outlet 2 button for both products and sizes.
