At the top of the screen is a "Search For" field. To search for an Item, begin typing in the search field. As you type, the "Bills of Materials" list will automatically scroll toward the Item Number you are typing. You can also search for Items manually by using the scroll bar to the right of the "Bills of Materials" list. You may also show Bills of Materials for inactive Items by selecting that option.
To the far right of the screen, the following buttons are available:
- CLOSE
Closes the screen, returning you to the application desktop.
- NEW
Brings up the new Bill of Materials screen, described earlier in this chapter. For details, see Section 2.3.1, “Enter New Bill of Materials”. Once a new Bill of Materials is created it appears on the master Bills of Materials list.
