- Staff only see stores relevant to their division, preventing accidental transactions in the wrong store.
- Speeds up data entry by shortening autocomplete lists to only what each user needs.
- Applies division-based filtering consistently across all store and item lookup fields.
- Purchasing officer in F&B sees only F&B stores in the dropdown — not engineering or housekeeping stores.
- Inventory manager searches items and sees only those in their division’s stores without manual filtering.
- Unassigned stores appear for all users, keeping shared resources accessible to every team.
How Filtering Works
When a user opens any store or item autocomplete/lookup field in purchasing or inventory screens, the system checks which divisions the logged-in user belongs to. It then returns only stores that are linked to at least one of those divisions.
- If the user belongs to Division A and Division B, stores linked to either division are shown.
- Stores with no division linked are always included in results (shared stores).
- The same filtering logic applies to the items lookup — items are filtered to those housed in accessible stores.
