Procurement Comments

This field is a common field included in all search definitions where the appropriate comment fields are mapped. Some comment fields are not mapped to Procurement Comments. These fields are typically separate search fields.

This field enables users to search all relevant, comment-type, fields for specified keywords when the user is not sure which comment field to search. For example, a comment related to a purchase order can be stored at the header, line, or ship-to level. If a user uses the Procurement Comments field to search for a keyword, then the system searches all header, line, and ship-to comment fields.

Standard search framework rules apply, depending on how you enter keywords. For standard searches:

  • Phrases: Use single quotes (' ') around words that make up a phrase. For example: 'year-end report'.

  • All Words: Use an ampersand (&) to specify that all words must appear in the results. For example: documents & reports.

  • Any Word: Use a pipe (|) to specify that any word must appear in the results. For example: 'year-end report' | report.

  • Partial Strings: Use an asterisk (*) to search for partial strings. For example: document* will return words beginning with document, such as documents, documentary, and documentation. An asterisk cannot be the first character of the search string.
