Maybe what I wrote is not clear. Lets me try explaining it like this.
I want to sell a PALLET of beer. I go the sale order form, and by default the system knows I NORMALLY want to sell it by the CARTON. In the sale order form, where CARTON is suggested by default for the product, I enter PALLET. It is at this point (entering a different UOM than the one suggested by default), that the focus is changing back to the product id. This is quite unworkable in the real world when this potential client sells everything in cartons and pallets and their existing ERP system allows them to enter orders extremely fast. This issue has hi-lighted itself here, but we are sure that it would be happen across other areas in OpenERP as well. What makes best sense to us is to have the default focus should only take affect when you first go to a form, and after saving a form and about to start a new entry. I await your reply.

The idea was to enable user to input data quickly using keyboard and not mouse (at prospective users request). Then enter a product and tab to the UOM and try and change it. It then set focus back to the product id field (very annoying for the user). It appears as if default_focus should not be activated by an on_change event. This would ensure smooth and efficient data entry. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~c2c-oerpscenario Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~c2c-oerpscenario More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
