When we are in sales order the system will show results from two fields "ITEM NAME/NUMBER" and "SUPPLIER NAME/CODE" it will not respond to "DISPLAY NAME/CODE".

We use an intelligent system for naming our products like "HQIE400/NCO VEN" this system allows the sales men to use the system to fins a HQI (Metal Halide) E (Elliptical) 400 (400W) N (neutral C (Clear) U Universal burning) lamp. However a professional customer might give the code 17041 which is the manufacturers part number. However some of our product codes are very long and webstore customers find it difficult, consequently I want to have a webstore part number which will be the internal ID prefixed by QQ (a custom field). This is great except if we have a web store customer on the phone and say they wish to order a QQ41321 it will work in global search but not on the sales order form.

Is there any way I can get the sales order form to work with more than the two default fields?

Do you use the UPC Code field? If you do not you can place your QQ41321 there and it will work on sales orders.

This is tricky, I cant find UPC as a field on my system. Is that a custom field you have made and if so want have you done to make it work in the item search? I clicked customize form to see if it had been disabled but there does not seem to be a field called UPC.

Paul Reading You need to go to Setup>Company>Enable Features, then go to the items and inventory tab and enable "Bar Coding and Item Labels". I just tested in one of my accounts and the value in that field does in fact bring up the item if you type it in the transaction.

Fantastic that is brilliant, it is just what I wanted. I would never have found that.
