I agree
The same thing needs to be amended in PAYROLL - where you enter in someones hours and press ENTER and it takes you to the calculated wages figure - why would I want to go here by default- so I can accidentally overight what has been calculated and then have to delete the hours I have entered and then re-enter them so that it will recalculate - is that why? - because it makes no sense. (Or depending on your settings the ENTER key does nothing - you just stay on the same line in the same field)
Either way neither the ENTER key nor the TAB key will take you immediatley to the next line - you have to use the down arrow - this is not practical as you are constantly having to reposition your right hand from the numeric keyboard to the arrow fields which leads to more chance of data error
In anycase I fail to see why MYOB give you the option in their settings to either have or not have the ENTER key work as the TAB key when they clearly don't understand the difference between the two.
ENTER means DONE and move on to the next Line of Data
TAB means - still going on this line - move to the next field.
The up and down arrows should move you from line to line but staying in the same field.
(This is still a problem in recurring General Journals where the Arrow key will take you to a different field in the next line?? - MYOB went to all the trouble of fixing this in recurring Spend Money / Receive Money Transactions but did not in the GJ)
Perhaps some effort should be put into TIME and MOTION studies in relation to data entry - or you could just start listening to what we want.
