Overview
The ItemName function key is a search feature in the sales billing system that enables users to search for products by their name. This functionality allows quick access to items within the system, ensuring efficient selection and entry of products in the sales bill. By using this function, users can quickly find the desired items by name rather than scrolling through lengthy lists or manually searching for product codes.
Purpose
The ItemName function key streamlines the product selection process by allowing users to search for items by their names. This ensures faster, more efficient bill entry, especially in cases where there are numerous products available in the inventory.
Key Features
Search by Item Name: Allows users to search for products based on their name, making it easier to find and add products to the bill.
Real-Time Filtering: As the user types the item name, the system dynamically filters the results, providing an immediate match to help users quickly identify the correct product.
List of Values (LOV): The LOV interface presents all available products, offering an organized and comprehensive view of inventory.
Simplified User Experience: Reduces the need for manual item code input or navigating long product lists.
Use Cases
Searching for Products in Large Inventories: For businesses with extensive product catalogs, searching by item name makes it easier to locate and select items quickly without manually scrolling through long lists.
Correcting Errors in Item Codes: If a user is unsure of an item's code or is unfamiliar with the catalog numbering system, the ItemName search offers a convenient alternative by allowing the user to search based on the product’s name.
Customer-Specific Product Requests: In cases where customers request specific items by name, sales staff can use this function to find the product quickly and add it to the bill.
How It Works
Step-by-Step Process:
Navigate to the sales bill entry screen where you are adding items to the sales transaction.
Locate and click the ItemName function key. This is typically available on the sales screen in the section where items are added to the bill.
Once the function key is clicked, a search window or list of values (LOV) will appear. This list contains all the available items in the system.
In the LOV window, begin typing the name of the item you are searching for. As you type, the system will filter and display items that match or closely resemble the name entered.
Once you find the item you wish to add to the bill, click or select the item from the list. The system will then add the selected item to the sales bill.
After selecting the items, continue with the sales process, such as entering quantities, applying discounts, and completing the transaction.
