Product Number:
This field allows you to enter a part or specific number (up to 20 characters including spaces) of a product. If you enter only a part of the number, products begining with that number will be listed. If you enter a specific number, the product's details will be brought up on the screen instantly.

Start of Name:
This field allows you to enter a part or specific name of a product. The product name/s that begin with name specified in your search criteria will be displayed.

Keyword Search:
This field searches for Products based on Product Name, Description and Extra Description fields. Any products with the entered keywords in either of the three fields (product name, description or extra description) will be displayed.

Type:
This field allows you to search for products based on their types. Products belonging to the selected type will only be displayed. Types need to be set up before you use this search criteria. See Stock Types.

Manufacturer:
This field allows you to search for products based on manufacturers of the products. Only products that belong to the selected manufacturer will be displayed. See Utilities - Codes.

This field allows you enter a partial or whole number or name of a supplier. The supplier name/s that begin with supplier name or number specified in your search criteria will be displayed. On selecting a particular supplier, all products supplied by the selected supplier will be displayed.
