Searching for a Range of Items

With some prompts, you can look for a range of items. For example, you can search for all of the items that fall within a particular product-code range. Using a range lets you narrow your search. The prompts that you can use to search for a range of items have active (white or yellow) fields in the End column of the Custom Inventory Lookup screen.

To search for a range of items

1. Select Maintenance from the Inventory menu. The Custom Inventory Lookup screen appears.

Tip: To reuse the codes from a previous search, click Past Lookups and make a selection from the drop-down list.

2. Click the tab you want to use for the search.

3. Click the Start field for the row you’re using and type a code, number, letter, or description. For group and category ranges, you can click and make a selection from the list that appears.

Note: You can use both full and partial entries for the following search options to look up a range of items: quick-look code, product code, group, category range, size range, vendor part-number range, bolt pattern, wheel width, wheel offset, and the number of lug nuts.

4. Click the End field for the same row and type a code, number, letter, or description. For category and size ranges, you can click and make a selection from the list that appears.

Tip: Clicking Clear removes the codes from the screen.

5. If you want to use different sort codes for the search, type the letters or numbers for the codes in the Sort field.

Note: You can use up to four of the sort codes displayed to the right of the Sort field. When a sort code cannot be used to perform a task or organize information on a report, it’s disabled.

6. Select or clear the following check boxes as needed:

To include active items in the search, make sure the Active Items Only check box is selected.
To include discontinued items in the search, make sure the Include Discontinued Items check box is selected.
To display the items from the highest to lowest order on the Inventory List, select the Descending check box.

Note: Because TireMaster is designed to always display quantities from highest to lowest, the Descending check box is disabled when the letter Q is the only code entered in the Sort field.

7. Click OK. The Inventory List appears.

8. Select an item, and click OK.
