# Product Search

In most of the Data Entry windows, you will be prompted to type in a product code. If you cannot remember the exact code for a specific product, you can search for it. Instead of typing in the full code, you can type in part of the code followed by a dot, e.g. 'A2.', and you will be presented with a list of products whose codes start with the characters A2. Alternatively, you can type in part of the description followed by a slash, e.g. 'whi/', and you will be presented with a list of products in description order. If you are in Deliveries or Credits and you have created a supplier with their own set of products, you can just search through that set of products by typing in part of the code followed by a minus, e.g. 'whi-', the list will contain all of that supplier's products whose descriptions contain a 'whi'. The products will be shown in description order. You can also search on bin numbers, if appropriate, by typing in part of the bin number followed by a comma, e.g. '24,', and you'll be presented with a list of products in bin number order whose bin numbers start with '24'. Initially, the list of products will only contain live products (products which have the Live box ticked). A button at the bottom of the window allows you how to switch between displaying live products and all products. You can refine the list using the green Filter box at the top right. Press the letter 'F' or click in the box. Now type in part of the description you are searching for and the list of products will change on-the-fly to show only those products containing those letter. The products are sorted based on your initial selection (dot for code, slash for description, minus for supplier by description and comma for bin number). A button at the bottom of the window allows you to change the sorting style. You can use the vertical scroll bar, the up/down arrow keys, the Page Up/Down keys or the mouse to view the complete list of products. When you have found the product you require, if you are entering Deliveries/Credits/Transfers then you should now type in the quantity for that product. You can then continue on with the next product or press Escape to return to the screen you came from.
