Searching Inventory Items in your Database

Searching for an Inventory Item

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

  • 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
  • Click the box next to Inventory Name to open search Filters

  • Search Name: Enter part of the item name or the entire item name if you know how it is formatted
  • Classification: Narrow results to a specific Classification in your inventory database

  • Category Is: Narrow results to a specific category or categories in your inventory database
