Overview:

To perform a query, press <F11> or click on the Query button, then click in the “Material Group” field and enter the material code or press <F2> and select from the pop-up list and then click OK. Press <F12> or click on the Execute Query button to run the query.

 

 

For this example the 11 Material By Length has been used.

 

 

Click on the Save the Current Query and enter the name for the query and click on Save  – do not tick it as a stocktake.

In the ‘Rename Codes’ window, enter employee password and click on the “Materials” radio button.
