Finding Products
Turn on Product Search: Include Manufactured if you'd like agrē to search the list of Raw Ingredients used when Manufacturing products as well as the usual product code, description, etc. when finding items.
File > Config Options > Company > Inventory tab
Why would I use this?
I manufacture BINS. Bins are made up of many parts, one of which is a FAN.
I also sell fans as a separate product.
Inventory > Manage Products / Manufacturing tab
A customer calls and needs a replacement fan today, but there are none left on the shelf and I can't get one shipped that fast.
Accounts Receivable > Loadout Tickets > Add
I would be willing to remove the fan from an assembled bin and sell it separately - I just need to know which bins use that fan, and if I have one out in the yard that's not already spoken for.
When the Product Search: Include Manufactured config option is checked, searching for FAN will find both the fan itself and products manufactured with the fan. This will work everywhere you Find products.
