About Navigate
Shows the number and type of entries that have the same document number or posting date.

Working with Navigate
You can open the Navigate window in two ways:
By opening an empty Navigate window. On the Home tab, in the Find by group, you can choose the type of data that you want to navigate from. You can navigate from a document, a business contact, or the lot number or serial number for an item.
From all windows that display posted entries and in posted sales invoices, purchase invoices, credit memos, sales receipts, and purchase shipments. In this case, the Navigate window will show the document number and posting date of the entries that you selected. The Navigate window also lists the documents that have the same document number and posting date as the entries that you selected.
The Navigate window has a different first FastTab, depending on your selection in the Find by group. You must enter information about the documents or item tracking numbers that you want to search for before information is filled in from the records located.
After you have entered the relevant search information, on the Actions tab, choose Find to start the search. If you change any of the filters, you must choose Find again.
The Navigate window shows the following information for the located documents.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
Document Type, Source Type, Source No., and Source Name |
These fields contain information about the source document that was found by searching for the document number. If the search finds more than one document number, these fields will be empty. |
Table Name |
This column shows a list of the ledger entry tables that contain the ledger entries located by the search. |
No. of Records |
This column shows the number of records found in each of the ledger entry tables that are listed. |
After the Navigate feature has located the ledger entries, they are listed in the Related Entries column. You can quickly see the individual entries in each table by choosing the relevant line and then choosing the Show Details command.
The following sections describe the filters you can specify.
Find by Document
On the Document FastTab, enter the document numbers and posting dates as described in the following table.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|

Posting Date |
Enter the posting date on which the document you are searching for was posted. You can insert a date filter if the documents that you are searching for were posted in a certain time interval. |
Find by Business Contact
On the Business Contact FastTab, you can enter document information that was assigned by a vendor or a customer. You can use the options on this tab to search for vendor documents by using the numbers that the vendor has assigned the documents. For example, the following table shows how you can use this feature to find an invoice when you only have the invoice number assigned by the vendor.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
Business Contact Type |
Select one of the options: <Blank>, Vendor, or Customer. <Blank> is the default value. Select Vendor or Customer when you want to search for vendor or customer documents. |
Business Contact No. |

Find by Item Reference
On the Item Reference FastTab, you can enter the lot number or serial number, or you can filter on the lot number or serial number that you want to search for. This option is useful if you want to see where a specific item tracking number was used, what vendor it came from, or what customer it was sold to.
