Searching Inventory Items in your Database

Searching for an Inventory Item

Select the Inventory > Full Search option from the Navigation Bar.

Basic Search

• If the box next to Inventory Name says All, then type in the name of the inventory item you want to view
  • NOTE: Name must be typed correctly to locate, but can be part of the name
    • Example: You might find a Stainless Steel Chafer by typing its name in full or by typing Stainless and viewing all items in your database with the word Stainless in the name
    • If the item is named Chafer, Stainless Steel and you type Stainless Steel Chafer then TPP will not locate your item since it is formatted differently from what you entered
    • It is better to use fewer words that are more specific to the item when searching
