Use Help/Diagnostics/Examine to locate the form record block that is showing the results. In this case - the form block is RCV_TRANSACTIONS.

2. Define Personalization
While in the form - choose Help/Diagnostics/Custom Code/ Personalize from the top text menu.

Now, choose Get Value button. This will actually pull in the default where clause for the form, as it is currently, image above. This is the current where clause in the form found from pressing the 'Get Value' button. receipt_source_code IN ('INVENTORY','INTERNAL ORDER','VENDOR') and ((RCV_ENTER_RECEIPTS_V.SOURCE_TYPE_CODE = 'VENDOR' OR RCV_ENTER_RECEIPTS_V.SOURCE_TYPE_CODE = 'ASN' OR RCV_ENTER_RECEIPTS_V.SOURCE_TYPE_CODE = 'INTERNAL')) and ((NVL(RCV_ENTER_RECEIPTS_V.closed_code,'OPEN') NOT IN ('CLOSED', 'CLOSED FOR RECEIVING')))

Now, confirm the field name in the RCV_ENTER_RECEIPTS_V. For this example, deliver_to_location_id is going to be used. Its possible to use the Help/Diagnostics/Examine as well to find out the value for the deliver_to_location_id that should be used.

Modify the default where clause to include the deliver_to_location_id. receipt_source_code IN ('INVENTORY','INTERNAL ORDER','VENDOR') and deliver_to_location_id = 204 and ((RCV_ENTER_RECEIPTS_V.SOURCE_TYPE_CODE = 'VENDOR' OR RCV_ENTER_RECEIPTS_V.SOURCE_TYPE_CODE = 'ASN' OR RCV_ENTER_RECEIPTS_V.SOURCE_TYPE_CODE = 'INTERNAL')) and ((NVL(RCV_ENTER_RECEIPTS_V.closed_code,'OPEN') NOT IN ('CLOSED', 'CLOSED FOR RECEIVING')))

Input the new DEFAULT_WHERE clause - seen above. - Save the personalization - Close the form completely
