For example, if you frequently create Sales Orders, assign it to F3—then anytime you need one, just press F3 instead of navigating through menus!
Stop clicking around and start using these keyboard shortcuts to work faster:
These shortcuts help streamline data entry and navigation, making your SAP experience much smoother.
Mastering these quick SAP Business One tips can save you clicks, keystrokes, and time every single day. Whether you’re entering dates, setting up shortcuts, or using keyboard commands, these small changes can significantly boost your productivity.
