If you enter more than one field/parameter, you will receive records that contain all words.
To filter in the SAP ERP system, enter at least two characters. You will receive all records, which start with those two characters.
Filtering is not case sensitive.
When you start filtering, the system retrieves records that are stored in the local cache on the device. The filtering process continues in the SAP ERP system and displays additional results.
