Finding Line Items

To find specific items, proceed as follows:

1. Select Edit
® Find
2. Select search criteria in the Find: field list dialog box . Press
ENTER.
3. When the Find: values dialog box appears, enter the value ranges for the search criteria and press
ENTER.

Select the fields Posting date and Amount and press ENTER . In the next screen, enter ranges for the date and the amount. You can use the And -> Or button to determine how the criteria are logically linked. Linking with ‘And’ means that both selection criteria must be fulfilled simultaneously. Linking with ‘Or’ means that only one of the two selection criteria has to be fulfilled. If you select the logical link "And", only those line items whose date and amount fall within the specified ranges are displayed.

You can add additional search fields to the list. For more information see the FI System Administration Guide. To add a field, choose Options ® Customizing ® Field selection ® Find.
