When you are in a sales order, sales invoice, shipping, or purchase order, you can search for and add products without needing to leave the screen you are on. This is done by using the search built into the Product field.
Searching for a product
- In the Lines tab, click New to add a new line. (You can skip this step if there is already a blank line in this tab.)
- Click the Product field in the new blank line. The Product Search window will appear.
- Type the string you want to search for, then click Search. Readysell will search the database for products matching the text you entered. If you have a lot of products, this may take a long time - you can prevent this by entering more specific search criteria.
- When you have located the product you wish to add, double-click on its entry in the Product Search window. The product will be added as a new line.
Search tips
By default, Readysell searches for words beginning with the text you enter. For example, searching for "paper" will match both "paper" and "paperback", but it will not match "newspaper".
You can use the % wildcard to enhance your search. For example, searching for "%paper" will match "paper", "paperback" and "newspaper".
You can also search for more than one word at a time. It does not matter which order you enter the words in - "red A4 paper" will return the same results as "A4 paper red".
