Use Standard Account / Stock Maintenance Screens

Sales and Purchase Order Processing can be configured to allow the creation of new account and stock records during order input. These options, however, use their own maintenance screens separate from those defined within the applications meaning that changes in the main screens may have to be replicated in the order processing applications. In addition the main application screens have been extended over the years to allow additional lookup options and two screens for maintenance which is not available when create via order processing.

New, in Release 6.1, are options to use the standard account and stock maintenance screens.
