Understanding Search Agents

A search agent enables you to create complex queries using comparison criteria. You can select by list of values, not in list of values, inclusive range, and exclusive range. You can also use the comparison criteria of the Query by Example (QBE) line. The criteria can then be saved, maintained, reused, and deleted as necessary. The search agent reduces the number of separate inquiries that are required to review related pricing information. Both the Mass Maintenance (P45550) and Customer Price List (P45520) programs use the search agent.
