Hi,

 

Does anyone have a solution?

Is there a shortcut key to select multiple sales orders in the qbdt sales order worksheet?

I have a client with thousands of transactions each day and I don't want them to have to manually select sales orders to batch in the Sales Order Worksheet.

    2. Select Send Feedback Online.
    3. Choose Product Suggestion.
    4. Enter the necessary details, including your product suggestion.
    5. Click Send feedback.

    Thanks for the response.

    I found this on the internet but I could not get this to work.

    Has anyone else had success with this?

     

    Yes, there are shortcut keys to select multiple sales orders in QuickBooks Desktop (QB Desktop). You can use Ctrl + Shift + Space to select multiple rows or items within a sales order worksheet. Alternatively, you can use Ctrl + Alt + Y to copy an entire row of data from a transaction line. 
     
    Here's a more detailed explanation:
    • Ctrl + Shift + Space:
      .Opens in new tab
      This shortcut allows you to select multiple rows or items within the sales order worksheet, which is useful for quickly selecting a group of sales orders for actions like copying, deleting, or batch processing.
    • Ctrl + Alt + Y:
      .Opens in new tab
      This shortcut copies an entire row of data from the transaction line. This is useful for quickly duplicating a line item or a set of related items.

      I appreciate your efforts in finding ways to make it work, JTH3. I tried the shortcut keys that you found on the internet to select multiple sales orders, and we got the same result.

       

      For now, I recommend that you resend your feedback to our product engineering team. They value input from users like you and may consider your suggestions when planning future updates and enhancements. You can follow the same steps given by my colleague above.
