Process screen

Here, common elements for each process screen are explained.

• Text box
  Characters and amounts are enteres using the keyboard.
  When master data is entered, double-click on the text box or put the cursor on the text box and press the F3 key at the same time and then the pop-up screen is opened.  It is possible to select data from the pop-up screen and enter it.  However, the yellow text box is only for display and entry is impossible.
  
  It is also possible to manually enter into the text box that is for master data.  But, when a non-existing code is entered and the cursor is moved to another item, the following message is displayed; "Entry data doesn't exit."  The entered contents are cleared.
  When entry required items are blank in the text box and the "Save" button is clicked, the following message is displayed; "There are items that are not set" and the cursor is moved to the un-entered text box.
• Text box for date entry
  Enter the entry date, delivery date and the settlement date by the dominical year.  The "/" (slash) between the year and month, and month and day are displayed automatically, so entry is not needed.
  
  When the text box for the entry date is double-clicked, a calendar is displayed for selecting the date.
  
  Date entry can be simplified by using the following function keys.
• F2
  Date is cleared.
• F3
  System entry date is set in the text box.
• F4
  A calender is displayed.
• Option button
  This button selects options.  Only one option can be selected at one time.  The selected option is displayed with a black dot in the circle.
  
• Combo box
  Click on and a list of selections is displayed.  Click on a needed item to select it.
  
• Button
  When a button is clicked, processes such as command execution and canceling are done.  However, light colored buttons can not be used.
  
  
  Also, when the "Save" button is clicked without entry of essential items, saving is not done and the cursor is moved to the "Details" button automatically.  It is suggested to click the button for necessary processes.
  
• Check box
  This box selects options.  It is possible to select more that one option at the same time.  The selected options are displayed by a mark in the square box.
  
  Usually, there are only two statuses,  (selected status) and  (unselected status).  Some option contents have an intermediate status  (optional or not yet setup, etc.).
• Scroll bar
  When information does not fit into the screen, a scroll bar is displayed on the right side or bottom of the screen.  In order to see un-displayed information on the screen, drag the scroll bar or press the arrow buttons.
  
• Tab sheet
  Screen items are switched by selecting tabs.  Usually, each tab has similar information. 
  
• Spread sheet
  This is an item group with a tabular form that displays voucher detailed rows.
  For master data entry, when the mouse is right-clicked on a cell of the spread, a pop-up searching screen is displayed.  It is possible to select data from there and enter it.  However, yellow cells are just for display, so entry is not possible.
  

Pop-up screen

When a text box is double-clicked or a cell of the spread sheet is right-clicked, the pop-up screen is displayed to select master data and voucher No.
The following pop-up screen sample is for selecting a "Registered employee as operator" that is displayed by double-clicking the "In charge" item.

1. Searching key
   This key is used to narrow down the pop-up display contents that are entered in when "Searching" using the alphabet at master data registration.
   
   
   In the default, usually the "*" tab is selected and the pop-up is displayed with all master data that can be selected in the entry screen.  Master data that can be selected is master data that has the "Active" check box OFF, so it can not be selected for entry but can be selected for output forms.
   
   
   In the pop-up for sales/purchase goods, master data that has entered characters from entry screen items at the beginning are displayed.
   
2. Searching
   This is used for narrowing pop-up display contents by master data "Code" and "Name."  Select the searching object by the option button and enter the searching string and then click the "OK" button.  Fuzzy searching is possible when the character string is specified.
   
3. "Name1/2" button
   This is the same function as the "Convert name" button on the process screen.  This switches "Name 1" and "Name 2" that are displayed from the list.
4. List
   A list of master data that can be entered is displayed.
   Before narrowing down by the searching key and character string, a list that is already narrowed down may be displayed.  For example, the correspondent of "Vendor" from the "Correspondent type" can not be specified for the "Accountee."  So, if the pop-up is displayed in the "Accountee," the list of correspondents outside of the "Vendor" is displayed.  Also, only departments that have authority are displayed at department selection.
5. Buttons

• Prev
  When the registered master is over 500, the list for each 500 is displayed.  This is used to switch 500 units.  When the previous 500 are displayed, it is clicked.
• Next
  When the registered master is over 500, the list for each 500 is displayed.  This is used to switch 500 units.  When the next 500 are displayed, it is clicked.
• OK
  When the master that is selected from the list is entered into the process screen item, it is clicked.
• Cancel
  This is clicked to cancel master selection.

In the pop-up for the voucher number, the data level selection tab is displayed instead of the searching key and the "Entry date" is added to searching.
