NXT Journal Entry data inefficiencies

When entering debit/credit amounts, you have to wait for the $$-sign to populate in the field before you can enter the amount. This slows down the process of data entry and causes many typos to appear. (In the DB view, the $$-sign populates after you enter the amount.)

      Also when I type a project then hit tab it doesn't always complete the field. I have to go back and click the project that drops down. Many accountants are used to "head down" entry where you type the date then tab, account then tab etc. Without looking. We know how many tabs to the next column. Database was great at this but NXT is trying to be too "user friendly" with all the "pointy clicky" stuff. We don't want Quicken we want real accounting software.

      Agree, data entry for distribution option very cumbersome. Wish the column size could be customized and it saved your preferences. I always have to enlarge the "description" field for every invoice and it never remembers the change -- I was able to do this in DB view!

      Data entry in NXT is so cumbersome compared to database view - my major beef is that you can no longer shortcut enter a date in a past month without slashes - so instead of 080524 I have to pick out 08/05/24 which is a pain. Also, I try to remember to enter a zero before typing in debit/credit amounts, which addresses the $$ stupidity.

      This trips me up in A/P invoice entry as well. (This doesnt happen with other financial software).

      Yes, it does slow down the process because when you enter a number you have to enter the first number twice to get passed that $-sign it populates, hence the errors if you forget.
