Bill of Materials Components search does not include Internal Reference

When performing a "where used" search, you can't enter the Internal Reference (Part Number) as the search term.

1) Go to Manufacturing > Bills of Materials Components
2) Go to the search box
3) Enter LCD17
4) Select "Search Components" from the drop down under the search box
5) The search results are empty. There should be a list of all BOMs where LCD17 is a component.

1) Go to Manufacturing > Bills of Materials Components
2) Go to the search box
3) Enter PCSC349
4) Select "Search Bill of Materials" from the drop down under the search box
5) The search results are empty. There should be a list of all BOMs where PCSC349 is in the Internal Reference for the BOM's product.

The Internal Reference is most often used as the field for the Part Number. If you can't perform a Where Used search by part number then you are severely handicapped. A part number is a unique identifier where names are not unique. It will appear that the Where Used function is broken / unusable to an ERP evaluator.
