Invoice Creation - Edit - Load from File or Hand Held

You can load invoice lines into an invoice or picking slip from a file (e.g. that has been created in a third party application) or from a hand held device (e.g. a P460 scanner). You can also use this option for manual data entry where you want to quickly key in the item, quantity and price.

 

Technical Tip

To access this option, the registration code for Simple Hand Held must be turned on in your company configuration – see "Edit Company - Registration".

2.8 Feature
