This topic provides information about the elements in this window in Visma Net, such as fields, field values, buttons, and check boxes. The processing of receipts depends on certain settings in the [Inventory preferences (IN101000)](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/visma-net-erp/help/inventory/inventory-windows/inventory-preferences-in101000/index.md) window. By default, receipts are saved with the **On hold** status if the **Hold documents on entry** check box is selected. Receipt totals are validated on entry if the **Validate document totals on entry** check box is selected. When a receipt is released, its transactions will be posted to the General ledger if the **Automatically post on release** check box is selected. For more information about receipts, see: [About inventory transactions](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/visma-net-erp/help/inventory/manage-inventory-transactions/about-inventory-transactions/index.md). ## Search line in list window If you are in the list window, the first line in the table is a search line. Each column has a search field which you can click to search for or filter on specific values and narrow down the displayed table rows. You can search and filter in as many columns as you need to, to only display the results you want to view. There are two types of search fields: + White: here you can type a specific search term to display results in this column containing this exact value. If you search on several (partial) words, you can separate them by a space or **%** and get different results: + space: the result contains the words in any order, + **%**: the result contains the words in the specific order, and the **%** functions as a wildcard as well. + Grey: you can click this to open the column filter pop-up window where you can filter the results for this column. ## The toolbar
