Searching the Help
To search for information in the Help, type a word or phrase in the Search box. When you enter a group of words, OR is inferred. You can use Boolean operators to refine your search.
Results returned are case insensitive. However, results ranking takes case into account and assigns higher scores to case matches. Therefore, a search for "cats" followed by a search for "Cats" would return the same number of Help topics, but the order in which the topics are listed would be different.
Words and Phrases
| Search for | Example | Results |
|---|---|---|
| A single word | cat
|
Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats". |
|
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase. |
"cat food" (quotation marks) |
Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase. |
Using Boolean Operators
| Search for | Operator | Example |
|---|---|---|
|
Two or more words in the same topic |

Link records
You can copy data from different data records to a line item via a standard link record. Request Management checks for the following link records for the indicated process.
Note: The following are the Request Management link records which should be modified according to any renaming of Request Management files or forms.
| Link Name | From | To | When Used |
|---|---|---|---|
| ocml.copy.quote | ocmq | ocml | When opening a line item from a quote |
| ocml.copy.order | ocmo | ocml | When opening a line item from an order |
| ocml.copy.model | model | ocml | When opening a line item from a catalog part |
| ocml.copy.modelvendor | modelvendor | ocml | When opening a line item from a catalog part and the user selected a vendor/supplier |
| ocml.receive.copy | ocml | ocmlrec | When receiving process copies data from the line item to the receiving log |
If found, Request Management copies data from the source record to the line item based on the data fields defined at the detail level of the first element in the applicable link record.
Do not use these link records for any other purposes. Request Management always uses the first element of the link record for copying data from the source record to the line item. It does not examine any other link elements.
