Searching for a Specific Line Item

To find a specific line item on the Postings screen, you can search for information with the Find function located at the top of the screen or you can sort by column.

• To search for a particular line item, enter the word(s) or number(s) you wish to find and select the column from the drop-down list; then click the "go" button.
  

  The window refreshes and displays only the results of your search. To view all your postings again, click the line about Shortage (Buy) Postings in the Message Center.

• To sort by column, click any column heading that looks like a hyperlink. For example, the IPN column can be sorted in ascending or descending order.

Working with Postings

You can take these actions with regard to each line item:

• Edit various fields: Most of the fields on the Postings screen are editable. Click the field and replace the existing data with new data.

  Note: Once an offer has been submitted to buy or sell any portion of a posting, the posting can not be edited for the duration of the transaction (until the offer is declined or the transaction is closed or canceled.)

• Undo: Click the "line-level" Undo button to return the line to the way it was before you started editing--if you have not yet clicked Update My Postings.
• Details: Click the Details button to open a new window with other information about the line item, such as Commodity Code, MPN, Other MPN, Mfr, Other Mfr, and Description. You can edit the fields in this window. To save your changes, Click Update My Posting. When you see the confirmation message, click Done to return to the Postings window.
• Close checkbox: Click the Close checkbox to close the item when you click the Update My Postings button.

When you are finished with your changes, click the Update My Postings button.

The Postings window also has these buttons:

• Undo All Changes -- Undoes all changes you have made in the window, as long as you have not yet clicked the Update My Postings button.
• Close All My Postings -- Closes all the postings at once without requiring you to check all the Close checkboxes.
• Add A Posting --opens a window in which you can add a single line item to your existing postings.
