Many Prophet 21 users struggle with how to use Quick Search (or smart search) to find a quote for a particular customer in their system.
Example: You are looking for Quote No. 1000193 for a customer named Bob Jones.
When you attempt to use Quick Search to look for Bob Jones in order entry, you notice that the search finds several orders, but none of them are the No. 193 you are looking for.
The list of orders stops at No. 191.
How to Use ‘Smart Search’ to Find a Quote by Customer Name:
Continuing on the example above, hit clear and then check the quote box first.
If you are looking up a quote, you must check the quote box first.

And it’s as simple as that!
