With the release of version 1.3.1 of Calus 2014 we introduced the filter of the goods in warehouse by code, description and category. It’s really simple, but there may be some who do not know this way of working and then this article was written.
For those working with hundreds of inventory items to filter this data is extremely important, because it focuses on a limited number of materials. Calus 2014 added the ability to filter inventory items by serial number, description and category. For example, we would like to view and then print only the fruit, which we previously inserted in its category. Then just click the funnel-shaped to open the window that allows the entry of these three data. In the last field just enter “Fruit” and press the “Filter” button, will have magically visible only items in the “Fruit” category, then we could print them or perform other activities.
Finally only two technical notions:
- The wildcard in Calus 2014 is “*” (as well as in all our other management) and this means that from this point forward, anything goes. For example, we can filter out all the merchandise that begins with the letter “A” entering only this vowel as the program automatically inserts an asterisk (wildcard) at the end of the keyword. Another use of the wildcard is the search for materials that begin with “D” and ends with “A”, just enter “D * A” as a search term and you’re done.
- Among the various fields of research there is a “logical and”, that will be searched for first codes, then the above categories, then the exclusion of all else. For example, I can filter out all items that begin with “D” and ends in “A”, as we saw earlier, within categories.
Some of these techniques are quite complicated, but once you understand the mechanism can work is very powerful.
