Item number lookup when entering sales
Greetings
Firstly let me apololgize for my ignorance in using MYOB Account Right 19.4. I am coming from another POS system (Vend) and trying to align my knowledge of that with how Account Right works.
We are using Account Right to run a small book store operation with maybe a few hundred inventory items.
My problem arises when creating sales. One of the lookup fields is Item Number. I want to use that instead of description lookup to eventually be able to use a barcode scanner for quicker entry of sales. However, even though the field is called Item Number, any item number typed in there are not recognised. Using the dropdown shows a scrollable table of item numbers and names, but when selecting one of those items, it is the item description that is displayed in the Item Number field and not the item number, plus the item name is duplicated in the next field, labelled description.
Is there a preference or setting I change to alter this behaviour so the the Item Number field responds to item number input?
Thanks
Hi ptw
Sound like you have Setup>>Preferences>>Windows>>Select Items by Item Name, Not Item Number enabled within the company file. As per the wording, if that option is enabled you are selecting the items by name, not number. If you want to use Item Number, then you want that option disabled.
Do let us know how you get on and if you require further assistance.
