Customer Find

 

The Customer Find allows you to search through the system for a customer record based on what you enter for Customer Name, Customer Number, City, and/or State.

 

Figure 25: Customer Find

 

Press the  button to begin a search of your customer records. The application searches for a match in either Microsoft Dynamics GP or through Customer Setup, depending on which is in use on your system.

 

You can enter partial values in any or all fields and the application returns matching records. In the above example (Figure 25: Customer Find), the application returns all records that start with a Customer Number of “12” and located in the State of Colorado (CO).

 

Additionally, you can instruct the application to search for a value anywhere in a field by using the percent wildcard (%). Say you wish to locate all customer records contain “1234” somewhere in the Customer Number. In this case, enter “%1234” for the Customer Number and press Search.
