Andrew -

This is a step in the right direction. I hadn't used the reports much. I
also didn't realize that I could do File->New->Invoice and get the
customer pre-filled if I already had an invoice open. That is a nice start.

Thanks for the tip!

JT

Yep.  Or at least a variation thereof.  GTK added the callbacks
necessary, so it should be much easier to implement now.  But I
dont have the time to do it.

the best window to leave open for this purpose is the "Aging"
reports. These give you links to the specific vendor/customer reports
and then you may click on the individual invoice to edit it *or* if
you need a new invoice, click on any one invoice, then hit Alt-f n i
to get a new invoice in two clicks and three keystrokes.

I'm still waiting for someone to implement the GtkCombo +
GtkCompletion code that plugs generically into the QofQuery code.
If someone did that work I could plug it in relatively easily.
I just dont have the time to research how to and do it myself.

Hi, Vahur! This is exactly what I've been wishing for, and the reason
I've been lurking here. Since you've broken the silence, I'll chime in.
I'm in the same boat - always creating invoices for the same 3-4
clients. It takes me about 10 clicks to get to the point where I can
perform my most-used task - add a line item to an un-posted invoice.
Sometimes I can leave some windows open, which helps, but not to the
point that it doesn't bug me.

I would offer to try to tackle this but GUI programming is not exactly
my thing.

Hi all!

Trying out Gnucash for my one-man-translation business (been using GC 
for my family bookkeeping on and off for couple of years). One note 
about business functions.
In a small business like mine amount of customers is not really very 
big. I've got maybe 2-3 big ones plus bunch of smaller clients. The same 
with vendors - I get bills from ISP, phone company, mobile company, car 
lease and thats it. In order to pick a vendor from my huge 4-vendor list 
I have to use search. First, its bit of an overkill and not very 
convenient. Second, there is not a way to see, who I actually have in my 
list. It might sometimes come in handy (think dupes etc.).
Maybe it would be more user-friendly to make some kind of list window 
for customers and vendors where one can search if one so wishes?
