Could people please offer their thoughts on the following
The current behavior when opening a new Invoice, Order or Transaction
is to automatically select the last used Vendor or Client.
I have just found a number of Invoices , all on the Vendor side,
that have been entered against the wrong Vendor, presumably the last
vendor used.
Does anyone think that it would be useful to have a System>Defaults
option to change this behavior.
Probably to one of....
Last Used
BLANK
A Specific Vendor
The first and last option would not solve the problem you reported. If
they are going to post without checking the transactee, then they'll do it
regardless. I can not think of a case wherein I would rather that
transactions go against a vendor if they are in error, unless it is a fake
"check later" type of vendor.
The middle option, which would forse a manual selection, would be the most
useful alternative to last-used, I would think.
I agree Luke,
Blank certainly seems to be the best thing from a "get it right"
perspective.
Although there are bound to be people that would like to retain the
current behavior.
Specific Vendor/Client very well could be used as a "Check Later"
vendor/client,
or for some businesses where they almost always use the same
vendor/client with occasional others.

or would we need a separate default for each Document Type?
I would think that one for each would be enough. However, making this
adjustable at the user level would be more useful. The default can
specify the system default, but it should be alterable in users.
Just my 0.02. Personally I've never had a problem with consistant
incorrect transactee selection by a user, but I can see how it is
something that might need a solution.
Point taken, System default,
with a User Default that can be overridden by the System Default
if a System Wide check box is set.
I have spoken with Chris T about this,
a system default is doable, but User Defaults are not an option with
the existing code.
Post 1.3 this will change, but for now System Wide is the only option.
