Item Lookup does Not Display All Items on PO Lines tab in Purchase Order application

Troubleshooting


Problem

Cannot see all items or standard service Items in Item look-up.

Resolving The Problem

You can change two properties in System Properties application for the item to show up in the Lookup:

mxe.db.lookupMaxRow (default is 1000)
mxe.db.lookupMultiplier (default is 5)

By default, user could see 5000 ITEM records (lookupMaxRow (1000) * lookupMultiplier (5)).

By changing lookupMaxRow and lookupMultiplier, user could see larger set of ITEM records.


Case 1 – Cannot see all the items in Item Lookup

For example, if the database has 20000 items, changing
mxe.db.lookupMaxRow to 4000 or a bigger number can display see all items in the item lookup.

It is possible to try different numbers on both properties to get the best performance on Item Lookup.

Case 2 – Cannot see Items of Standard Service Item Type in the Lookup

For example, if the database has 10000 items and 100 of Standard Services items.

Solution: change mxe.db.lookupMaxRow to 2000.

Reason: Depends on database, Standard Service Items (ITEMTYPE=STDSERVICE) could be in the later part of Item table.

Increase one or both properties could solve the problem.
