Searching For Products in Flash

The Product Search functionality allows you to look up active MTO and stock items in Flash. The function is available in Projects, Quotes, Orders and P&A, and works the same way in all four SIs.

The Product Search icon icon is visible in the menu bar along with the rest of the icons. (Be sure to go to the line items tab in Projects/Quote/Order to see the icons!)

Using Product Search

Step 1: Select the line item where you want to insert the new product and click on the Product Search icon. The below window pops up.

Step 2: Enter appropriate values in the fields to filter the search. None of the fields are mandatory, but adding filters will speed up the search and give you accurate results. Click on Search.

Below is the list of the fields and their respective descriptions:

Step 3: Double click on the product you want from the results. The catalog number will be populated in the selected line in your SI. Then, click on save.

The catalog number is populated in the SI. The price range is displayed on saving:

Type Ahead

As you type in a catalog number, the type ahead feature will display the first [n] matching catalog numbers. This list of matching catalog numbers constantly changes as you continue typing. You can select a catalog number from the type ahead list by clicking on it.

If a brand is selected, then the type ahead feature will only display catalog numbers from the selected brand.

A Key Point

The type ahead will only display catalog numbers that are active in Flash. If, in case it is showing inactive/invalid catalog numbers, you would need to manually update the type ahead.
