Items Search

Items Search is a fast item-and-stock lookup used from the Sales toolbar and reused inside Sales Transactions and Stock Transfer. It searches Item Code, Barcode, Style or Description and can display availability, pricing and item attributes across Stores.

Add to Invoice / Stock Transfer

When opened from Sales Transactions or Stock Transfer, Add To Invoice returns the selected Item Code to the calling screen and runs its normal add-item workflow. Double-clicking a selected row does the same. When opened directly from the main toolbar, Items Search works as a lookup window and the Add action is hidden.
