The Material Browse window mirrors some of the functionality in the Work Order Browse window. The following material transactions can be browsed:
- Quotes
- Purchase Requisitions
- Purchase Orders
- Material Request
- Sales Orders
The five Tabs on the Material Browse Selection window are used to choose the material-related function you want to review.
When the list is generated, you can also:
- view information about a selected quote, requisition, or order
- zoom directly to the related window
Browse Selection Criteria
Path: Material > Material Browse
Use the Selection window to filter material requests, quotes, requisitions, or orders and review any combination of the options shown on the window. The only required options are the transaction date range fields. The dates can be refined by the required dates as well. Your selections can be as general or specific as you want. The criteria options change based on the Tab selected.
The various selections of the Material Browse Selection window can expand or restrict your search.
The check boxes represent options that are part of the specific function (e.g., Quote, Purchase Requisition, Purchase Order, Material Request, and Sales Order). Depending on the Tab selected, you have the choice of as many as eight check boxes or as few as two.
