ITEM QUERY

Use this screen to create a selective list of items that can be easily imported into the modules to facilitate inquiries. The part ID is copied to the clipboard when you select copy, or click anywhere on a selected row. Using the Edit-Paste function (if available for that module) or the Control V command, you can paste the part can into an application. You can minimize this Item Query function and run it within the module (using the Alt-Tab keys), allowing you to select a new item or criteria.

Note: When you first call up the Item Query screen, a Subquery screen will appear in which you can select the criteria required to view item information.
