Follow these steps to search historical and static data in Sage 100. For example, you can search to find all A/R invoice records associated with a specific customer purchase order, or find all inventory items that belong to the same product line.
To perform a global search
On the Sage 100 Desktop Home tab, click the Global Search button.
Note When accessing Global Search for the first time, a message appears prompting you to build the search index. If you're building the index for a large amount of data, this process can take some time.
In the Global Search window, enter full or partial text in the Search field. For example, to find all A/R invoice records associated with a specific customer purchase order, enter the P/O number. For more information, see Global Search - Fields.
Note We recommend adding a backslash (\) before supported special characters in the Search field. For more information, see Using Special Characters in Global Search.
Enter the Company field to search data for a specific company, or select <all> to search all companies.
Note If this field is left blank, all companies will be searched.
Select the entities to include in the search. Click Search.
The results display in the list box.
