## 1. The Search Options
When users are searching for a timber pack, they have two options:
1. **Search by Pack Number**: If you provide a pack number, the system will use this number to search for the pack, ensuring you find the exact timber pack you need without any additional filtering.
2. **Search by Branch, Product, Location, and Status**: If you do not have a pack number, the system will use the combination of the **Branch**, **Product**, **Location,** and **Status** fields to filter and find the relevant timber packs. This allows you to narrow down your search based on multiple criteria, making it easier to find packs that meet specific requirements.
Clicking the **Find** button will initiate the search.
