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.
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. |
Search for | Operator | Example |
---|---|---|
Two or more words in the same topic |
|
|
Either word in a topic |
|
|
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase |
|
|
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another | ^ (caret) |
cat ^ mouse
|
A combination of search types | ( ) parentheses |

Batch ordering
Batch ordering is controlled by the demand schedule records. There can be more than one of these demand schedule records in the schedule file at one time, to be processed at different intervals and executing different queries.
These schedule records determine when and how often to generate orders. They also define what field values cause a break to a new order, as quotes are processed. The options here include values found in the following.
- vendor
- vendor.contract.no
- trans.type
- bill.to.code
- ship.to.code
- shipping.terms
- tax.rate
- payment.terms
Determining what causes a break to a new order line item is also contained in the demand schedule records. The options include values from the following.
- payment.freq
- no.of.payments
- part.no
- unit.cost
- unit.of.measure
- discount
