Find inventory items

See also: Part Find and Barcode Scanning

1. If you can use barcodes, this is the best way to find an item. Simply scan the item and you can sell the item quickly on an invoice. However, you must often find an inventory item when you don't have the part in front of you such as when you are sold out.
2. If you know the part number, select Inventory and Purchases > Inventory> Edit item or View item from the Navigator menu. You can type the entire part number in or just the first character or two and find it that way. However, you can enter in other bits of known information such as the supplier's part number, description, size, brand, etc. and then perform the search.

Again, we STRONGLY recommend that you use a good part numbering system as that is your primary method of finding the parts. Just because you can find the parts by other methods doesn't mean you should be doing this at the front counter with long lines of customers trying to pay. See Part Number Methods for some hints and suggestions.
