Purchasing Invoice Entry

Postby Accounts3178 » Tue Aug 10, 2021 4:15 pm

We have just moved over to Jiwa7 and I have a query regarding keying in Creditors Invoices into the system via Purchasing.
Each time you click on "New" the cursor automatically goes to the last place it was on your previous screen.

So for example I am now on my second invoice to key into the system, click on New or F4, key in the creditor name and
now my cursor is over in the Goods Received Note Arrow.

Why does this not go back to the Invoice Number above the Creditors Name because simply that would be
logical as you want to key in the invoice number then the date then pick up the GRN Number.

Help me if you can.. Is this an oversite with Jiwa7 or is the system broken?

Whether it a bug or not is subjective - but it would be sensible for the creation of new records to set the focus to a control consistently.

At the moment we, as you state, start focus on the control it was last - so if you click un the Invoice No. field, then press the New button and select the creditor the focus is returned to the Invoice No. field. However, if the focus is in the GRN grid when you press the new button, after selecting the creditor control is returned there and the tab order is trapped in the grid.

Fortunately we can easily change the existing behaviour via a plugin.

Try the attached and see if it does what you want.
