Performing a Search

You can search for field values using the Search (binoculars) button on the right of certain fields such as vendor number and G/L account. When you click on the Search button, you are launched into the Searchhelp page.

1. Click the Search (binoculars) button.

On the Searchhelp page:

2. Select a category from the drop-down list.

3. Enter one or more Search Fields such as the search term, name, or G/L long text. (If the search fields are not visible when you first access Searchhelp, select another category and then return to the previous one.)

Tip: You can enter part of the word and a wildcard (*) either before and after the letters. For example, equip* will find all G/L accounts beginning with the letters "equip," and *equip* will yield all G/L accounts containing the letters "equip" either at the beginning, middle, or end of the word.

4. Click the Search button. The results appear on the screen.

5. Click on the search term (left) to select it. You return to the transaction page where your selection is filled in.

6. (optional) Click Exit Searchhelp at any time to leave the Searchhelp page and return to the transaction page.
