Product Browser

1How to use it #

1. Type in the search box to narrow by name, description, part number, group, sub-group, category or make — it filters as you type.
2. Double-click a row (or select it and press Open / Modify , F4) to open the Product master on that item; Add Item (F3) opens a blank one.
3. Closing the master refreshes the list, so a change you just made is visible immediately. Refresh (F2) re-reads it any time.
4. Every column sorts, filters and groups — drag a column header into the group bar to see items grouped by, say, category.

2Step by step #

The browser answers 'what do we have?' faster than opening products one by one.

1. Open the page — the list loads with its filter row ready.
2. Type into the filters (name, group, brand…) to narrow; the grid narrows as you type.
3. Pick a row and use the open action to jump to that product in the Product master when something needs changing.

3What the columns mean #

• Tax Class is the item's current class — the newest tax-class revision, falling back to the item's default when it has no revisions.
• Op. Stock / Op. Value are the opening figures from the item master, not live stock.
• Min. / Max. Stock and Reorder Level are the item's stock-level thresholds.
• Active shows No for inactive items — unlike pick-lists, the browser deliberately shows them so they can be found and reactivated.

4Which items appear? #

• Items shared with your branch — by the item's branch-visibility setting or an explicit branch allocation (group companies also see their member branches' items).
• If the company sets User can use shared products only , the list narrows further to the items allocated to you in Product Allocation to Users .
• The page needs the ProductBrowser tools permission; without it nothing is loaded and a notice is shown.

5Deleting an item #

• Delete removes the item from the item master after a confirmation — it cannot be undone.
• An item used by transactions, price lists, schemes or allocations is protected by the database and the delete will be refused; make it inactive in the Product master instead.
