• window of the Deliveries module consists of two windows of the list type: a superior list and a subsidiary list.

The superior list is in the upper part of the module's window and includes general information related to the receipt documents. The subsidiary list that is at the bottom of the module's window, on the tab Specification, includes information about the position of the document chosen from the superior list. Correlation between these two lists - change of the chosen document on the superior list causes the change of elements on the subsidiary list, i.e. positions of a document on the subsidiary list are always visible. zawsze pozycje dokumentu aktualnie wskazywanego na liście nadrzednej. ++++ Screen: Window of the list type: superior and subsidiary| ++++

• Window of the Production module consists of two superior lists and two subsidiary lists

Two superior lists are in the upper part of the program's window, and the subsidiary ones in the bottom part. Subsidiary list is always below the superior list, and informs about details. Correlation between the subsidiary and superior lists is analogical to the correlation in the module Deliveries. In the module Production there is also one correlation of lists: the superior list no. 2 from the superior list no. 1 and the other way round. It consists in transferring the information about the ordered product (superior list no.1) to the production schedule (superior list no. 2) by using the button Plan. The opposite of this correlation consists in withdrawal of the product form the production schedule (only in case when the production was not completed!) and placing the information o about the product in the w orders, by using the the button Delete. ++++ Screen: Window of the list type: two superior and two subsidiary lists| ++++
