In this topic you will learn how to Use the Lookup Feature.
A pop-up Supplier Search panel displays. Users will enter part or all of the supplier name in the Name field.
The system has only returned supplier names that begin with the "ACCU." A total of 15 options have been retrieved with the first 10 displaying in the Search Results area.
The system defaults the desired Supplier ID and Supplier Location code into the Supplier and Supplier Location fields respectively.
The Look Up feature allows you to search for all valid values in the database for a specific field. It can also be used to narrow the scope of your search when a large number of values are returned.
The Look up feature is depicted in the database as a magnifying glass. Anytime you see a magnifying glass next to a field, you have look up capability.
In this example you will search for an appropriate value for the Supplier field. The 10-digit Supplier ID number is the value needed for the Supplier field rather than the supplier name. You will locate and select ACCURINT utilizing the Lookup feature. Once selected, the system will default the Supplier ID number into the Supplier field, thus completing the Lookup process.
This completes Using the Lookup Feature.
