Tabbing through the Payment Screen

Post by JimZ » Fri Dec 23, 2011 11:54 am

We noticed with the update to 11.1, while attempting to enter a payment and then hitting the tab button, the cursor jumps UP to the date box instead of DOWN to the Check # box. Is this by design or did a gremlin get into the update? Hitting the tab button twice will get it to the Check # box.

Added as a bug: "Payment window tabbing order was incorrect." It will be fixed with the release of v11.1.19 and v12.0.3.
The fixed order will start at the Amount box, go down to the Note section then back up to Payment Date.
The best thing about a boolean is even if you are wrong, you are only off by a bit.

Not to be picky, but since most payments are by check, wouldn't it make sense to go from amount to check number then to date? Note would probably be used last for any unusual remarks.

Tab order should go in the order that it is on the screen. That's what people expect. You won't usually change the date anyway.
