The system displays the PDW Catalog Search screen when you are running a normal sync and the system comes upon a product without a match in the PDW Catalog. If you run a quick sync, use the Search hot key to display this screen.
Use the PDW Catalog Search screen to search the Product Data Warehouse (PDW) Catalog for product descriptions that match Eclipse product descriptions. Search the PDW Catalog for matching products by entering keywords of three characters or longer. The system displays all matching PDW products containing the keywords. If only one match exists for the Eclipse product, the system displays that match on this screen.
To search for matching Eclipse and PDW products:
If the system does not automatically display the PDW Catalog Search screen when you run the sync, use the File > Search option Search hot key to display it.
The system populates the following fields with the Eclipse product data:

Product ID |

Price Line |

In the Search Keywords field, enter the keywords you want the system to use in the search that are also part of the PDW product description.
If there are several matching descriptions, the system displays a list from which you can select the product to sync. Once you select a product, the system displays its information in the PDW Data column.
If the system finds only one match, it displays the PDW data in the following PDW Data fields:
Field |
Description |
PDW ID |
The Eclipse product number. |

Do one of the following:
