Conditions and Parameters: General Information

You can define the results of a generic inquiry—that is, the data in the results grid of the generic inquiry form—by adding default conditions to the inquiry on the Conditions tab of the Generic Inquiry (SM208000) form. On this form, you can also define parameters that will be shown in the Selection area of the resulting generic inquiry form, thus giving users the ability to specify conditions that limit the data.

Learning Objectives

In this chapter, you will learn how to modify an existing generic inquiry as follows:

• Add a Selection area with parameters to the generic inquiry form so that users of the form can view the most relevant data for their current information needs
• Specify conditions to limit the listed data by default

Applicable Scenarios

You may find the information in this chapter useful when you are responsible for the customization of MYOB Advanced in your company. In this case, you may want to modify an existing generic inquiry to use conditions to further customize the displayed data, or you may want to add or modify parameters so that users can view the needed data.
