Presentation

Using a single window, it is possible to identify or search for a BP or contact record based on the following information:

For a BP search, the following can be used:

  • The start or the entire company name
  • The start or all of the post code
  • The start or all of the town/city name where the BP is located

It is possible to filter the BPs depending on their address by default.

For a BP search, the following can be used:

  • The start or all of the words making up the surname of the contact
  • The start or all of the words making up the first name of the contact

Each of these criteria can be used in an independent fashion.

  • In the case of BPs, each of the three BP selection criteria can be used in combination with another.
  • In the case of the contacts, the two Contact criteria can be used in combination.

From the Search results grid, it is possible by using the contextual menus to view the History or Customer base for the selected BP or Contact.
