Why do some auto entries "jump" to the amount field, while others stop on the account field and force you to hit enter? "Jumping" to the amount field saves data entry time.

How can I change all to do this?

What version of FN are you using? (FN 7.5.x, 8.0.x, or 8.1.x?)

To check your version, see the post:
What is the latest version of FN?

Make sure you have the most current software update for your version by following the steps in the post mentioned above.

Automatic entry action codes determine where the cursor ends up.

A few examples:
If the action code is:

  • Enter Amount
  • Confirm Amount
  • Confirm Amount & Save

Then the cursor goes to the amount column.

If the action code is:

  • Constant Amount
  • Payment Amount
  • Monthly Budget Amount

Then the cursor stays on the payee column for you to verify the entry is correct prior to moving to the next entry.

If the action code is:

  • Enter Memo
  • Memo-Month & Enter

Then the cursor moves to the memo line for you to make an entry.

If the action code is a Multiple Distribution with no account assigned, the cursor will move to the account column for you to enter the account.

You need to change your automatic entries' action codes to change the manner in which FN processes the automatic entry in transaction activity.

Please see the online Help system accessible from the FN main menu bar for a full explanation of Automatic Entries. Search the Help index for Automatic entries and then select Action codes for more information.

Please reply to the post if your problem is not resolved by changing the action codes in your automatic entries.

I am entering data into an auto entry with action code of CONFIRM AMOUNT, and the cursor stops at the account number. The amount is populated, but I have to tab/enter over to the amount. According to your reply, this should NOT be happening. I doubled checked the auto entry, and it is confirm. What now?

I followed the instructions in your earlier note and find I have the most current version; i.e. 8.05.

The most current version is 8.0.8 as of the date of this post.

Please run a software update and try your transaction again.

If you want the cursor to stop on the amount, use "Confirm Amount".

- "Constant Amount" assumes the amount does not change. You can go to the amount and change it. But the cursor does not stop on the amount. It stays in the payee box for you to verify the transaction is complete and move on to the next transaction entry.

- "Confirm Amount" assumes the amount is normally but not always the same. So it displays the amount but the cursor stops on the amount for it to be confirmed.

Hope this helps to explain the difference.
