The purpose of this page is to help your data entry specialists create and manipulate data in iDempiere as quickly as is possible.
Using Existing Tools
The easiest way to get started creating a rapid data entry window is to perform the following:
Log in as System Administrator
Create a copy of a window (say Sales Order and call it Quick Sales Order)
Find the 'Sales Order' window and click on the copy record toolbar icon
Rename the new record to 'Quick Sales Order'
Click on the process toolbar button from the Quick Sales Order window and execute theCopy Window Tabs process
Update the Quick Sales Order window => Line sub-tab => Single Row Layout field to not be checked
Update Quick Sales Order window => Line sub-tab => Field sub-tab => Show in Grid field - uncheck all records you do not want in your quick entry
Navigate to the Quick Sales Order window => Line sub-tab => Grid Sequence sub-tab and set the desired tab sequence you want
Update Quick Sales Order window => Line sub-tab => Field sub-tab => Default focus field - set this check box for the field that should have the cursor when a new record is created.
Each user can customize the grid using the Customize toolbar icon. Here is a video demonstrating the results of this concept.
Concepts that Make Data Entry faster and better
Use the quick info widget to show recent or most profitable products. Ideally, you would be able to drag and drop an entry from the quick info widget into the line. Another option accomplish this goal is to create a process/button for recommending additional products. The button would popup a form where the user could choose from a list of recommended products. Note: buttons appear in grid view of iDempiere.
