• Master Code Lookup
A computer's capability to store large amount of information, though having great advantages, may lead to difficulty in loading; As a result, we have designed a device to assist the lookup of customers, currency, country, etc. This device is referred to as the Master Code Lookup.
With the Master Code Lookup implement throughout the System Series, we will use the Receivable Voucher Maintenance as an example to show how this Master Code Lookup works.
When the file maintenance is loaded, you will see the prompt:
Account:XXXX
At this point if you enter account's code that already exists in the system, you will proceed to the display of that particular voucher. If you press [ENTER] without entering any information into the field, or if the code you enter is incorrect, you can not exit the entry fied.
You will see a window in the middle of then screen. Inside this window will be a list of accounts that are currently stored in your data files. The accounts will be listed alphabetically by account codes.
Pressing [ESC] will abort the Master Code Lookup and you will be returned to the account field.
There are two ways to locate a account in the window. If the account that you wish to locate is within the window, you can press the up-arrow and down-arrow to move the highlighted bar to the item of your choice; press [ENTER] to select this account
If the account is not displayed in the current window, you can type in the first character of the name, and the window will jump to the name that starts with the same first character. As you continue to type the remaining characters, the window will continue to move to the name that starts with the characters you have entered. This Lookup capability will place you near the account of your choice as quickly as you enter the characters. If you accidentally type in a wrong character, you may press [<-](Backspace) to erase it. If you wish to erase all the characters you have entered, you may press [ESC] or [DEL]. However, if you are unable to locate your new account 's name in the popped up list, it is unnecessary to go back to the account Master Maintenance. All you have to do is to insert the name into the list and it will be added to your selection.
The above procedures can be applied whenever the Master Code Lookup is in use. This system can be very convenient and useful in searching for the required information in a limited period of time.
