We are a small business with a large volume of SKUs, and approximately 30,000 line items. We can't remember all the product descriptions so the ability to search within a description string is quite ...
Looking for a more workable way of searching for products when we're producing an invoice. We need to be able to search by part number or description (or part thereof), but currently we can search for products by exact description, or by changing a setting (for which we need to close the current invoice) by part number.
In the inventory screen it has a search function similar to what we need, how hard would it be to take this and put it into the invoicing section to make MYOB more user-friendly?
Hello Steven_M, I think you might have misunderstood me.
When we are producing a new "items" invoice, for items in our inventory, currently we need to know either the exact product code or the exact description of the product we are trying to bring up, to select it from the list and add it to the invoice lines.
For instance, if I was to try to invoice an apple, and the product code for this is RDAPPL, and the description is Apple, Red, I can only find this product mid-invoice by typing "Apple, Red" (or, if I have it set up to search by product codes, RDAPPL). So if I have forgotten the description or the format of the description on this product, and type "Red Apple," nothing will come up.
What we need is a search function within the invoicing module that will pick up any key entries and search for it in the inventories list.
Is this clear enough, or have I confused it more?
Is anyone else having this difficulty that can explain it better?
