For example, now when typing in a “B” to the item code field, a list is displayed below of all item descriptions that begin with the letter “B”. You can then use the mouse or arrow keys to pick the desired item or more letters can be typed to refine the list further.

Auto complete can be turned off from the System Configuration Options under Step in Library Master. Select the Preferences tab and turn off the enable auto-complete checkbox.

Expanded Budget Number Fields in Work Ticket Entry

Original Budget and Revised Budget fields in Work Ticket Entry have been expanded to display numbers greater than 999,999.99. Due to the limited size of the panel and field, the million separator comma has been removed to accommodate the value.
