The search qualifier dropdown provides you with options based on the query you want to perform. When searching for:
- Products – you can either use Keyword or Part #. Entering keywords will result in a search that looks for a match found on ALL words anywhere in the following fields: Description, Product Class, Category, and Part Number. The default setting for a keyword search is to match products that contain ALL keywords used in the search. For Part # selection, both supplier and manufacturer part numbers are accepted. The results will display exact matches first, followed by products where the part number is at the beginning of the part number, then in the middle of the part number, and then where it is found at the end of the part number.
- Custom and Bundle Items – Search looks through both Supported Products and Custom Items. There will be a green diamond to indicate Custom Items within a category view and in the product results pages. If you look up a custom item by category, you can filter by either Supported Categories or your own Custom Categories, since Custom Items may be assigned to either. Once you have selected your Category and sub-category, you can hit the Search button.
- Sales Documents – you can use either Doc #, Type, Description, Company, Contact, Customer PO, Modified By, Created By, or Total. The default setting for a document search is to match document numbers.
- Accounts – you can use either Company, Customer #, E-mail, Contact, City, or State. The default setting for a document search is to match document numbers.
- Purchase Orders – can use either PO #, Supplier, Type, Description, Buyer Name, End User PO, Confirmation #, Document Notes, Internal Notes, or Total.
Keyword Example: A search for “hp notebook 2510” will match products that contain hp AND notebook AND 2510.
