Invoicing – Enable full keyboard entry (date + account number) without mouse clicks
The current “Add Payment” workflow in invoices is inefficient for keyboard users. While manual entry of payment dates has been improved, the account selection still forces users to use the mouse, which breaks the flow.
We need a smoother, full keyboard-navigable process when adding a payment to an invoice:
1.Enter date manually (already possible )
2.Press Tab to move to the Account field
3.Type the account number directly
4. Press Tab or Enter to confirm selection without needing to click the search bar or manually select the account with a mouse
Right now, even after typing the account number into the search box, users must click the dropdown result with the mouse to proceed. This is not the case in the “Add Batch Payment” screen, which does support full keyboard navigation.
This inconsistency adds up to a lot of wasted time for users processing multiple invoices, and it significantly reduces the usability for those who rely on keyboard input for efficiency.
Please bring the same logic from batch payments into the invoice “Add Payment” window – it’s a small change that would make a huge difference in workflow productivity.

At present, new invoicing still requires using the mouse to click the account from a dropdown. This disrupts the efficiency of the process, as it prevents users from completing the task solely via keyboard.
Our ideal workflow is one where we can input all payment information using JUST THE KEYBAORD, without switching back and forth between mouse and keyboard. Previously, we could simply:
1.Type in the amount
2.TAB to the date field and input the date
3.TAB to the account field
4.Type in the account, then TAB OR ENTER to automatically select
5.Tab add the payment, and press EnterPlease think about the basic logic in Old Invoicing, the workflow was much more smooth and efficient. It's such a waste of time and less of accuracy when we have to keep multiple clicking.
