Hi,
I want to create my own Search result from Job Entry/ Purchasing Supplier ID.
I’m thinking I should use Quick Search - Base Default. But somehow it does not appear when I click on Job Entry/Supplier ID, it appears when I click Supplier Purchase Point Search/Supplier ID. Could any one know how to fix this?
Create a BAQ and use a BAQ search.
Because this is a multi-field search, it may be more complicated that you want.
What things about the search are you trying to change? If you simply need more/less fields, there are other options.
Hi Jason,
Because the currency is matter to us, so only one currency and one AP Account GL Control is attached to one supplier.
I want to add more fieldson the search, so that AP Account GL Control is visible at search.

Will you know the Supplier, but want to search for the Purchase Point, or do both fields need to be returned?
Personally, I would try to see if I could customize the standard search. Use the wizard to add a BeforeAdapterMethod on vendorPPSearchAdapter and then add whatever fields you need to see. If the field is not there, a BPM might be used to add data to a field or to overwrite a value to be displayed.
private void oTrans_vendorPPSearchAdapter_BeforeAdapterMethod(object sender, BeforeAdapterMethodArgs args)
{
// ** Argument Properties and Uses **
// ** args.MethodName **
// ** Add Event Handler Code **
// ** Use MessageBox to find adapter method name
// EpiMessageBox.Show(args.MethodName)
switch (args.MethodName)
{
case "GetList":
case "GetRows":
EpiSearchBase adapterSearchForm = oTrans_vendorPPSearchAdapter.SearchForm;
adapterSearchForm.ClearEpiSearchColumns();
// Paramters: Data Column Name, Column Header Text, Width, Is Result, Position
adapterSearchForm.SetEpiSearchColumn(new EpiSearchColumn("VendorID", "Supplier", -1, true, 0), true);
adapterSearchForm.SetEpiSearchColumn(new EpiSearchColumn("VendorName", "Name", -1, true, 1), true);
adapterSearchForm.SetEpiSearchColumn(new EpiSearchColumn("PurPoint", "Purchase Point", -1, true, 2), true);
//Add more columns as needed.
break;
}
}
Bumping this as it’s related to something I’m trying to figure out. We’re Kinetic public cloud. I’m trying to do a simple quick search in PO Entry for the supplier name:
The quick search shows up and works in Supplier Entry just fine, but in PO entry the same “Supplier…” button opens a different search box. It’s “Supplier Purchase Point Search” and the Quick Search doesn’t show up:
If I play around in the various screens & searches (can’t figure out exactly what triggers it) I can somehow make it suddenly start to work in PO Entry, but it won’t persist between sessions and only works through the context menu not the “Supplier…” button:
I have had this work elsewhere in Epicor as one of those ‘undocumented features’ if you want to give it a try. Take your existing BAQ that works for Supplier, copy and rename, and then add the renamed BAQ as your Search on PO. No guarantees.
Thanks! I gave this a try but it only activated the search for the current session. It did not survive a Kinetic re-start.
But I also came across something else - until now I was developing the search in Live because it seemed low risk. I switched to Pilot to try some more things (our Pilot is the new 2025.1 that is being released in a couple weeks). They changed the context menu and now there’s an ‘Open With…’ option. That option doesn’t exist in our current Live version
Anyway, my quick search is there and it is persistent It still doesn’t show up using the “Supplier…” button but this is better than nothing.
