Report: Sales by item - Search by partial item number/name
When I create an invoice I can add items to the invoice by typing any part of the name of the item or code and I get a pick list so that I can learn what to type very quickly to get exactly the item I want. This is a great feature of MYOB Essentials.
However when I go to create a report like "Sales by item" and I want to see all the sales for just one item, the dropdown selector does not act like the item selector on the invoice. I get a rigid pick list rather than a smart "type to search" action. As a user I don't know the difference between the technologies used; all I know is that I am looking for an item and I have to do it one way on the invoice and another way on the report request form.
The real problem here is that we use the invoices a lot more frequently than the reports, so we don't learn or remember the full names of the items for finding them on a very long list of items in a dropdown picklist.
And yet the form to generate a report by customer the customer field is a smart "type to search" action - can you make the item field in the sales by item report form also a smart "type to search" field?
thanks,
