PMC transactions

["Burns, Bryan" <Bryan_Burns@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I need to create a report of users who are authorized to maintain SM transactions and I'm struggling with how transactions which are visible in PMC can be designated as IM, REP or PMC itself.

Looking at the security area for PMC "Maintain Transactions", I see that IM and REP are listed under "APP",  in addition to PMC.  We're tailored for immediate update and I'm having a hard time conceptualizing someone entering transactions in an IM batch versus PMC transactions that go to TRDATA and allow for changes.  Why have PMC in the first place?

Is it correct to say the only way to change a transaction is through PMC and that the transaction must flow through PMC and not be created from an IM batch?  (Assuming of course that you have the PMC app and you're tailored for immediate update).

We have REP,  we don't use any of the labor reporting features of PMC and we have quite a few barcode laser scanners.
