Sage 50 shortcuts - working with function keys
With a large batch of invoices to log into Sage,
you're juggling your mouse, your calculator and the

you need an extra set of hands? |

Imagine you're entering a batch of customer invoices. Before posting
the first invoice, you need to check your emails for the correct
description of the product sold. So press F11 to switch to Outlook
(you will already have configured F11 to perform that
function). Next you need to call up the calculator to
verify the price is correct - just press F2.
Once you have entered the price, you might select F5 to
display the currency calculator and
check the equivalent of this foreign currency invoice in GBP.
If you have a number of other invoices to post
to the same customer, you can quickly duplicate any of the
lines above the one you are currently posting by F6.
Oops, you have jumped a number - just press F7 (where the line
should have been) and a new one will be inserted. If you
make
a mistake on any line you can select F8 and it magically
disappears.
All that and you never once had to reach for your mouse...
