Selecting inventory item - auto select the highlighted entry

I have been using Quickfile for a couple of months now for a new Charity and - as a QuickBooks user, I am impressed and will be looking to switch my business accounts to QuickFile in April.

However I have found a problem that I regard as a bug. Another person enters the invoices from Hall bookings and I as the treasurer collect the payments and do the rest of the accounts.

In the invoice entry she has been entering “Main Hall” in the invoice line and I have this set up as a Sales Inventory Item going to a special Nominal Code as I need to separately track this income. Unfortunately if she just types “Main Hall” in the Item and then moves to the description without clicking on the Sales Item that comes up in the box below, the sales item is not selected so the sales line goes to the default “General Sales” nominal code.

To make things worse, when I go back to modify the Invoice to select the correct sales item, the description, unit cost and quantity are all zeroed. I end up having to remember the numbers and cut & paste the text.

I hope you get time to improve this either by forcing the selection of a sales item when it matches the text entered in “Item” and/or make it more intuitive when modifying an Invoice.

Thank
John Barrett

Hello @MrBassMan

I’ve moved this to the feature category for the moment.

I’d be interested to read what other users thing of changes like this before looking into it further, seems it would affect all users.
