To quickly find purchase orders (POs), use the search bar located in the top left. This feature lets you search through all open POs based on your specific criteria. Our search tool is designed to help you locate POs even if you have limited information.
To understand how to use the search on the preview dashboard click here.
Search for POs
To start, click on the search box at the top right of the screen, or use the shortcut keys: Control + K (or Command + K on Mac).
The search box will appear, displaying any filters that are currently applied. For example, if you are reviewing the Pending POs view, that filter will automatically be applied to your search. You can remove filters by clicking the blue filter boxes.
Next, type your search criteria in the search box and press Enter (or Return) to see the results. A list of open POs that match your criteria will be displayed. If you need to search for closed orders, simply click the link at the bottom of the results page.
For POs you need to check regularly, you can save your search results as a new view. Just click the "Save as New View" button in the top right of the results page. This view will be saved under "My Views" for easy access in the future.
