1. Access the Search Product Database option by click on the or
icon next to Product Code. Alternatively, in a product entry line, for
example when entering product lines in a sales order, you can right-click
the mouse on the line and choose Search the Product Database or
Search for Products from the popup menu.
2. The Search Product Database window will pop up. Click here to view this
screen.
3. Enter keywords from the product description in the top box. For example
A4 WHITE COP to search products with these words in their description.
Note: COP will find COPIER and COPYPAPER so it is better to shorten a
word and leave out plurals, i.e. FILE rather than FILES since the
description may only have the singular version.
4. Fill in the second box with alternative keywords if you wish to open up your
search to include other descriptions. For example A4 WHT COP so that
your search selects files that have used WHT as well as WHITE in their
descriptions. Another example is using LEVER ARCH or L/ARCH as the
alternative.
5. If the stock code must contain certain characters e.g. KF for Vow codes,
enter this on the Product Code line.
6. Click Search to run the search. The products selected will be displayed.
7. Double click a product from the search results to enter it into the data entry
screen you were in when you accessed the product search.
8. If you have accessed the product search from the Sales Order Entry screen you may return one or more products to the order using the tick boxes on the left side of the search results. Tick the boxes next to the products you require and press the Return Selected Products button.
