Item search fields enquiry (DMR18301)

Related topics

This panel displays the search fields that have been set up/generated in your system. There are many alternatives for looking up items in the system.

Normally the search fields are created automatically when new items are entered, which means you do not need to enter search fields manually in the equivalent item file maintenance program. In the Item search field control table you define which search field should automatically be created. The Build flag in the Item search field control table controls if a search field is allowed to be entered manually. If the Build flag is set to YES, the system will take care of the generation of search word(s) for the applicable search field type hence manual entry of values for the applicable field type shall not be allowed. No manual override is allowed for those search words. Note: Search fields of types 89 (Item characteristic) and 90 (Characteristic value) are not allowed to be entered manually, as these search words are normally exclusively generated by the system via the Item classification functionality.
