## How to Filter the Receipt Register by Raw or Finished Items?
In this tutorial, we will learn how to use the **Items Filter** option in the Receipt Register Configuration. This feature allows you to control whether the Item Search window displays **Raw Material**, **Finished Goods**, or **Both**, making item selection faster and more relevant.
***
### Objective of This Feature
* Filter items based on their classification.
* Simplify the Item Search window.
* Display only relevant items during Receipt Register entry.
* Improve data entry efficiency.
* Reduce the chances of selecting incorrect items.
***
### Open Receipt Register Configuration
* Open the **Receipt Register Configuration** window.
* Navigate to the **Other Options** section.
* Locate the option labeled as:
> **"Items"**
This dropdown provides three options:
* **Raw Material**
* **Finished Goods**
* **Both**
***
### Option 1: Both (Default)
By default, the **Items Filter** is set to **Both**.
* The Item Search window displays both **Raw Material** and **Finished Goods**.
* No filtering is applied.
***
### Option 2: Raw Material
* Select **Raw Material** from the dropdown.
* Save the configuration.
**Observe the Functionality**
* Initiate a **New Receipt Register** entry.
* Open the Item Search window.
**Result**
* Only **Raw Material** items are displayed, while all **Finished Goods** are filtered out.
***
### Option 3: Finished Goods
**Configuration**
* Return to the configuration window.
* Select **Finished Goods** from the dropdown.
* Save the configuration.
**Observe the Functionality**
* Initiate a **New Receipt Register** entry.
* Open the Item Search window.
**Result**
Only **Finished Goods** are displayed, while all **Raw Material** items are filtered out.
***
### Item Classification
The classification of an item as **Raw Material** or **Finished Goods** is defined in the **Item Master**.
Based on this classification, the **Items Filter** option determines which items are displayed in the Item Search window.
***
### Additional Usage
This filtering feature is not limited to the Receipt Register.
It can also be applied across various **Item Search** windows throughout the software, including reports, helping maintain consistent item filtering across different modules.
***
### Key Benefits
* Displays only relevant items during entry.
* Reduces item selection errors.
* Speeds up voucher entry.
* Improves usability of Item Search windows.
* Provides consistent filtering across multiple modules and reports.
***
### Best Practice Tips
* Ensure all items are correctly classified in the **Item Master** before using this feature.
* Select **Raw Material** or **Finished Goods** based on your operational requirements.
* Use **Both** when transactions involve multiple item types.
* Review item classifications periodically to maintain accurate search results.
***
### Final Outcome
The **Items Filter** option in the Receipt Register Configuration allows you to control which items appear in the Item Search window by filtering **Raw Material**, **Finished Goods**, or **Both**. This improves search efficiency, minimizes selection errors, and ensures users work only with relevant items throughout the software.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://kb.logicerp.com/logic-erp-learning-hub-tutorials-and-best-practices/inventory/receipt-register/receipt-register-configuration/item-filter-by-raw-or-finish.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
