Warning ! Make a backup of Liberty before doing this process so if mistakes are made, you can quickly restore the system to the state it was before doing this process.

Use this procedure when you want to post multiple items as returned to a client, donated or post it with another status of your choice. The status of the items is displayed in the Inventory window and printed on Item Lists and certain reports.
