Brief Overview of the Sales Windows
There are many ways Denali can speed up the sales transaction process with features such as lookups, shortcut keys, and other quick access options.
This section is designed to provide a brief overview of the different parts of the sales entry windows and information to help the salesperson during the transaction process.
We recommend you review Shortcut Keys for Sales Entry to learn quick methods you can use to enter sales transactions.
 
NOTE: You can change field names in the Sales Entry windows in the Sales Set Up Sales Entry Layout window. Therefore, when we refer to a field name in the documentation, you might not see the same field name in your Entry window.
