Why_doesn_t_the_view_use_my_entry_defaults_to_fill_in_the_form_

Why doesn't the view use my entry defaults to fill in the form?

To make filling in the invoice faster, you can set up the default values for a vendor. The default values allow you to choose what to enter in the following fields: item description, GL account, GL activity, bank, department, terms, shipping address, sales tax rate, and description history. When you enter a value as an entry default, it will show up as the default value in the corresponding field when you use the vendor to enter an invoice, purchase order, or requisition. 

This feature is available in Connect 2022.08. To use this option, download and install Connect 2022.08.
