In the Most Frequent Purchases Panel, select the arrow next to an item to display additional information; see Additional Most Frequent Purchases Information for a description of the fields that display.

Filter Purchase History Records

The Customer Purchase History page displays the 15 most recent items ordered by the customer when you select Purchase History at the Customer Order List page.

The page provides an entry field below the Purchase History panel with the message Type to filter. You can further refine the orders displayed in the Purchase History Table by entering one or more search terms found in any of the fields displayed in that table.

Example:                    Enter PEN. The displayed results include order lines for items whose descriptions include “pen,” as well as any items that include “pen” in the item code. Next, enter held. Displayed results are now further restricted to order lines that are in Held status, provided the order lines also include “pen.”

Matching records need to contain the search term, but do not need to start with the search term. For example, both 123.45 and 23.45 are matches for a search term of 23.

Filtering is across all results: The filtering is not restricted to the order lines displayed on the first page of results. For example, if the only order line matching your entry is on the third page of results, this order line is displayed.

Additional information on filtering: 

         Only fields displayed at the Purchase History Table are available for filtering. For example, you can filter based on the order line status, unit price, or purchase status, because this information displayed, but you cannot filter based an order total or special handling instructions.

         Filtering is not case-sensitive. For example, you can enter closed or CLOSED to display closed order lines.

         To filter based on order date, include the date delimiters. For example, enter 8/27 rather than 827 to filter for an order date of August 27.

         You can filter based on numeric fields to display partial matches. For example, if the unit price is 11.95, you can enter 11 or 95 to include the order in the search results.

Removing a search term: Optionally, click the X next to a search term to remove it from the filter criteria.

         If the Use Merchandise Locator (I38) system control value is selected and the item is eligible for merchandise locator, you advance to the Item Availability (Merchandise Locator) window.
