5.2.3 Manual input

Currently the application for adding manually made product lists to PIR only has
the option to add and delete records for a bulletin. This application should be
modified so that when adding records to an existing bulletin, i.e. when updating
the product list, it should archive the records not listed in the new product list. In
other words, obsolete records should be archived and only the records the user is
listing should be available for the bulletin. In this way the products that have been
on the product list can be traced and user errors leading to invalid records left in
the system are minimized.

The flowchart below is updated with the planned future development of the
replication process.
