Helpful Hints

Several match codes exist. The most commonly used in searching for a customer number is
Search per account group or Search by ship-to customers.

Restrict match code searches by entering known data in appropriate fields. If you run the
match code without any restrictions, the returned list displays only 500 entries instead of the
entire file.

Use asterisks as wildcards in all search fields.


Example: Enter *tech* in the Name field to return all customer numbers with the word Tech
in the name. The returned list would include both Technicolor and Advanced Vision
Technologies.

Searching on the Name field is often more accurate than using the Search term field. The
search term is a twenty character field but only ten characters are included in match codes.
