The Menu Manager is where you create custom menu interfaces based what a company needs from the app. eg. The Menu Groups for a small company could be Customer Transactions, Supplier Transactions and Accounting. Whereas a bigger company might use the menu Groups to separate their Transaction Flow by department. eg. a travel company might create a separate transaction flow for Car Rental, Flights, Domestic Tours, International Tours and Accounting.
Main Menu > Setup > Menu Manager
Grouping the Transactions in Menu Groups does not, however, limit the functionality for Transactions to interact with each other.
