    The folks in AP are complaining about the number of keystrokes required for non-PO and PO invoices. They probably use less than 20 of the fields and would like a stripped down custom version of AP20.2. Has anyone ever done one of those? If we outsourced the code, how much should we budget for it?

    Thanks.

      This would be a good candidate for Design Studio. Do you have it ?

          To give you some idea, below are the details of a project that I worked on about 5 years back. This was one of my first Design Studio projects, so there was a learning curve. If I had to work on this now, I would estimate 24 hours.

          Design Studio was used to customize the AP20.1 screen.

          The following screen areas were customized to make the Invoice Entry more user-friendly:

          a. Fields moved from the PAYMENTS tab to the MAIN tab (saves two mouse clicks per invoice)
          · Separate Payment
          · Pay Immediately
          b. Fields moved from the OPTIONS tab to the MAIN tab (saves two mouse clicks per invoice)
          · Cash Code
          · Payment Code
          · Pay Vendor
          c. Fields moved from the USR Fld to the MAIN tab (saves two mouse clicks per invoice)
          · User field 4 as PO#
          d. Fields moved from an auxiliary screen (AP22.5) to the main screen (saves two mouse clicks per invoice line distribution)
          · Distribution Code
          e. Fields moved from an auxiliary screen (Comments) to the main screen (saves six mouse clicks per invoice)
          · Comments
          f. Rearrange/delete some fields on the MAIN tab to accommodate above

          Customization type
          a. a thru c and f do not require any programming knowledge – just training/exposure to design studio.
          b. d and e need exposure to
          · Java Script
          · DME/AGS calls
