# Product Lookup

# Summary

This page is used to look up products in bulk. Typically, users are either looking to locate problematic products to support content management, or to check availability and prices.

<p class="callout info">This screen can be used to export Product data in bulk</p>

A combination of search and filters are used to refine the product list.

### Product Search

In addition to filtering your product catalogue by Category, Brand, Supplier, Brand or Collection, you can use the search function.

The search on the Product Lookup screen works differently to other search methods, because it is also enabled to search for variants. You can use this to search for a product and an option simultaneously; this can be combined with filters to give specific results.

### Product Lookup (Availability and Prices)

This screen should also be used to lookup Product Availability and Prices, including stock on hand, available, reserved, and on order.

#### Products with Stock

To view stocked products, simply filter to a specific Store, or apply a filter for Products which have Stock.

This is in line with the [Stock Definitions](https://bookstack.iconography.co.uk/books/general/page/stock-terminology "Terminology - Stock").

##### Reserved Stock

Clicking on the quantity 'reserved' for a specific Variant will open a pop up. This will display the quantity of stock reserved from any given location, as well as the specific Sales Orders to which that stock is reserved.

##### On Order

Clicking on the quantity 'on order' for a specific Variant will open a pop up. This will display the stock On Order, which Purchase Orders that stock is linked to, and how much of it is reserved to Sales Orders.

#### Check Prices

Prices can be viewed from this screen.

If a product has multiple variants, these prices will be listed against each one.

### Product Export

Once you have searched for Products, it is possible to export that Product data as a csv.

This will export data for the Products currently visible to you on the Product Lookup screen. When exporting, you will be prompted to select columns for the Product (Variant) export, and you can then use the secondary pop up to download individual files.
