Shortcut Keys in Accpac


The computer mouse simplifies the way you navigate through a computer screen by pointing and clicking on the screen. However, as using your mouse is not necessarily the most efficient way to select and open items on your screen. Sage Accpac ERP simplifies the data entry task by incorporating this feature.
In Sage ERP (Accpac), there are a handful of useful shortcut keys that you can use to save time to navigate through the screens. To see how the shortcut keys can be used in Sage Accpac ERP, let us use the O/E Order Entry screen as an example.
You can use the following shortcut keys to navigate through the orders:
o  Page UpGo to the first (top) record in a list.
o  Page DownGo to the last (bottom) record in a list.
o  Ctrl/Page Up - Go to the first record in a Finder list.
o  Ctrl/Page DownGo to the last record in a Finder list.


Now let us see how shortcut keys can be used in the Order Detail grid highlighted in red:
o  Ctrl/TabMove out of a grid or list to the button or field following the grid or list.
o  Ctrl/Shift/TabMove out of a grid or list to the button or field directly above the grid or list.
o  HomeGo to the first entry in a list.
o  End Go to the last entry in a list.
o  Up Arrow/Down ArrowGo up or down one line in a grid.
o  Tab or EnterGo to the next column.
o  SHIFT + TAB or SHIFT + ENTERGo the previous column.
o  F9 – If you select any of the line items and press this key, you can drill down on the line item.


o   F5 - If you have the cursor inserted in any field that has a Finder icon (the one with the magnifying glass icon), you can activate the Finder search function by pressing the F5 key.

o   CCalculator – If you select any of the columns related to quantity, amount and press Shift+ key, a calculator appears where the required calculations can be done.


o   Tab Key – The tab key can be used to navigate from one tab to another.

o   Navigation Keys – There are following four navigation keys in Accpac:

First, Previous, Next and Last
First: To go to the first record from the finder list
Previous: To go to the Previous record from the finder list
Next: To go to the Next record from the finder list
Last: To go to the Last record from the finder list
