 In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, wildcard characters can be used in filters to search for specific patterns in data. For example, if you want to filter the "Document No." field to find entries that start with "XMA", you would use the following steps:

  1. Navigate to the Item Ledger Entries page in Business Central.
  2. In the search/filter box, type in the field you want to filter by, which is "Document No." in this case.
  3. Enter the filter criteria using wildcard characters. For example, to find entries starting with "XMA", you would enter xMA*.

Business Central uses the * symbol as a wildcard by default, but this can be changed to % in some localizations or with certain configurations, so be sure to use the wildcard character that applies to your specific instance of Business Central.
