The Supplier Manager Search feature allows you to find a supplier by typing in any part of the supplier's name, phone number or address.
It searches within the currently selected category:
- Active suppliers (the default category), or
- Favourite suppliers (flagged with a
), or
- Archived suppliers.
To search for a specific supplier:
- In the Business menu, select Suppliers.
- On the Supplier Manager screen, select the Active, Favourites or Archived tile, as required.
If you are dealing with a large number of suppliers, you might archive those suppliers that you use infrequently. Archived suppliers no longer appear in the Supplier drop-down list, making it easier to select a supplier when you are creating a purchase order, for example.
- In the Search box, type any part of the required supplier's name, phone number or address. matches characters as you type.
The search is not case sensitive, so typing smith will find smith, Smith, Smithers and Goldsmith.
