System Generated Descriptions
Inventory Control Menu -> Sales
Inventory/FL- Parts and Rental Inventory -> Additional
Descriptions window -> System Generated Descriptions
This window lists the descriptions to be used in the product
lookup utilities such as Inventory Search,
that have been generated according to the following company
standards activated in the Company Inventory
Parameters.
- INCLUDE PRODUCT NUMBER IN SEARCHES
The product number itself can be included as part of the
description in the system generated description.
This provides the ability to search by the product number, by
entering the first numbers of the product number in the description
field of the product search criteria screen.
- INCLUDE SYSTEM GENERATED DESCRIPTIONS IN SEARCHES
Multiple descriptions for both Sales and Rental products, can be
spawned from the primary product description.
Examples include:
- Using the primary description of 300 CFM AIR COMPRESSOR, the
following descriptions would be generated for product search
purposes:
- CFM 300 AIR COMPRESSOR
AIR 300 CFM COMPRESSOR
COMPRESSOR 300 CFM AIR
- If a part of the description is only 1 character, that
character is ignored.
- If the letter X is used on its own, the words to the left and
right are grouped together as follows:
- 5' X 5' SCAFFOLDING
SCAFFOLDING 5' X 5'
- Measurements are maintained together when identified, such as:
- 3 1/4" DRILL BIT
DRILL 3 1/4" BIT
BIT 3 1/4" DRILL
NUMBER OF SYSTEM GENERATED DESCRIPTIONS TO CREATE
A maximum number of descriptions generated from each primary
product can also be set in the Company Inventory
Parameters.
The utility Rebuild Product Description
Index can be run to update the description search to match the
maximum number of descriptions allowed.
