Lots of fields have the finder....like A/P Invoice has finders for distribution codes \ sets, terms codes etc. This is through out the system.
If there is a piece of setup information that is missing or a new (for example) distribution code that is missing in AP even if you have rights to create one you must goto AP Setup, Distribution Codes, add the distribution code and then go back to the Invoice Entry screen and use the finder again and get the record.
If when you are in the finder looking up something like this why don't they put a new symbol icon in the finder that will then open the relevant master table to create a new record/or modify and existing one. This should be easy to do and would really make users smile as currently if something is there it is a real drag to have to add it into the system.
If accpac worked as outlined here it would make the data entry process more seamless and adding new master records to the system a lot less painful.

The "little company" systems like Quickbooks and Peachtree (by Sage)do this. But I upgraded to a bigger more expensive system by buying AccPac, and now I see that productivity steps like what is suggested here don't exist. They should look at how their own Peachtree system works for some of this stuff.
