Bill Entry

When entering a payroll invoice, I copy the previous week then make updates and save.

The invoice is is entered such that we can see the amount per employee and whatnot.

I used to be able to enter one number in the amount column then use my down arrow key to move to the next line in the same column.  

This would highlight the amount so all I had to do was type the updated amount and move on.

Today, it is not highlighting the amount when I press the down arrow key.  I have to manually remove the amount that is there and enter the new one.

How can I get the program to revert back to how it was last week?

The “new” way is more time consuming.

 

Thanks!

The option to revert the behavior where the amount in the column is automatically highlighted when you press the down arrow key is unavailable. As an alternative, you can manually click into each field within the Amount column to update it.

 

In the meantime, we recommend submitting a product feature request directly to our product development team so they can consider adding this in a future update.

Thank you for the reply!

The change makes entering these type of invoices more time consuming.

I know how to use the “Create multiple bills . . .” feature but cannot use it when tying the bill to an open purchase order.
