Feature - Item Number Wild Card Support for Starting Item Number

Release Date: 5/9/16


Added item number wild card (*) support to I/M-> Processing-> Item Linkage Processing
and  I/M-> Reports-> Item Linkage CSV Report screens, for the Starting Item Number
field.


Support for 3 scenarios is included:   
  • An asterisk at the beginning of a string of characters. An example is *BEX. All item numbers ending in BEX will be considered in the item number range.
  • An asterisk at the end of a string of characters. An example is  BEX*. All item numbers beginning with BEX will be considered in the item number range.
  • An asterisk at the beginning and the end of a string of characters. An example is  *BEX*. All item numbers that include the characters BEX somewhere in the item number will be considered in the item number range.

If the user enters a Starting Item with a wild card character (*) in the starting item number field, then the application will skip the ending item number.  If the user did not enter a wild card character in the starting item number, and enters a wild card into the ending item number, this is an error condition and will not be allowed.

Note: F7/F8 Item number and item description search is still available from the
starting item number field.
