We’re experiencing maximum data entry pain with invoices where, for a simple example, there is no ‘product’ being invoiced … but simply a short description is provided.
currently, one must explicitly change to the description tab which is multi-line and is only visible by going to this tab.
It would be nice to be able to enter a short description on the main form tab and use this description in the generated move lines. The multi-line description should be used as detail only being retained in the invoice (and not in the lines).
As this is also useful for sales/purchases, it would probably be useful to indicate whether the full description should be generated in the invoice where necessary.
The idea is not to add an additional field but to display the summary (first line) in the list views. This not the addition of a function field.
However, I agree with you about the problem of having the description of the invoice line in a different tab. This requires changing tabs at each encoding for a line. I will propose a modification to move the field and see the opinions of others.
I do not think it is a good idea because description is optional and for the majority of the use case (which is using defined products as best practice) it is not useful.
With my GTK client when I use the ALT-D shortcut “for tab description” I don’t have the focus in the encoding field. I have to do an extra TAB to get into the field or use the mouse. I can also do Alt-D times because the tab names Descpription and the Description field so I arrive in the encoding field. Can we change this behavior? this in order to improve the user experience.
