Define the inventory search fields

The application uses the inventory property fields defined in the Search section of the Configuration > Business Rules page to search for inventories.

You can also edit the inventory property fields in the Search section of the Business Rules page and define additional search fields to search for inventories. For example, assume that the inventories in the application are searched using the Model and Item Number inventory fields. Now, you want to search the inventories using the Serial Number field. You can specify an additional search field as follows:

1. Click Configuration.
2. Click Business Rules in the General section.
   The Business Rules page displays.
3. Click the Edit icon for Inventory Search fields in the Inventory Search Fields section.
   The Inventory Search Fields dialog box displays.
4. Click the Plus icon.
5. Select the Serial Number field.
6. Click Add.
7. Click OK.
   The Serial Number field displays in the Inventory Search Fields section.
8. Click Save.
9. Click the Search icon.
10. Enter the Serial Number (for example, 8779808797) in the Search field and click Search.
    The inventory matching the specified serial number displays.

    Note: Search uses the first 40 characters of the search string. Inventory search does not support enumeration type fields. You cannot configure the Search field to accept a keyword that is fewer than three characters or symbols.
