      		**** Cancel to Return ****

Processing Sequence:

•	Processing Events:

1. Tab, enter, or select the seek parameter field labeled UPC, Description, Vendor, or Alternate Index at the top of the dialog and enter your choice.  Select ‘FIND’ and the program will show a list of items that satisfy the filter (seek) parameter you have entered.  Select an UPC (or SKU) from the list by clicking the cursor on the far left field (the UPC column).  This UPC/SKU index will pass to the terminal program and lookup the item.

 2. If your seek parameter creates more items than contained in the view portion of the list, use the scroll bar to review additional items.  One hundred (100) items are shown per search.  Selecting ‘MORE’ will show the next hundred items in the list.  If the filter is satisfied, a message will display saying the list is empty for this sort.

3. At any time an operator can start a new search by selecting (by left clicking the cursor) a new seek field and entering the new filter.  The filters can be 1 – 12 characters.  For example, entering “0000’ in the UPC filter control, all items with UPC indices starting with 0000xxxxxxxx will show in the list view.  Placing ‘p’ or ‘P’ in the Vendor control will show all items with a vendor name starting with ‘p’.

•	Refreshing the Seek database:

1. Select the ‘Process New List’ control will command the program to take a current SKU-R database, read this file and create a new ‘SKUSeek.dbm’ database stored in a directory (folder) named Access.
 the program will connect to the file server and pass the maintenance to the SKU-R (or POS-R) databases.

Program Setup on the POS Terminal:

1. Create a key (touch point) with the short name *Seek or *SeekUPC for easy reference.  Place the touch point on a preset panel that has easy access.  Striking the *SeekUPC touch oint will execute the seek program that in turn the operator can select an item to order or lookup.

•	CAUTION Run-time Requiremnets:

Files required to run the seek process are UPCSeek.exe located in the POS directory.  The database SKUseek.dbm has to exist in the Access directory.  The program will automatically populate the database when an operator selects ‘Process New List’ at the top of the seek dialog.
