Finance gateway

The finance gateway groups screens under Masters, Transactions, Digital Payments, Reports and Settings. Each menu item shows a letter; pressing that letter opens the screen.

Finance gateway navigation keys
Key	Action
`↑` / `↓`	Move the highlighted menu item
`Enter`	Open the highlighted screen
`Esc`	Close the open screen or module window
Menu letter	Open a screen directly, for example `L` for Ledgers

Letters that are safe to use

These letters map to one screen in the current menu order:

Unambiguous finance gateway letters
Key	Opens	Group
`L`	Ledgers (chart of accounts)	Masters
`I`	Stock Items	Masters
`V`	Payment voucher	Transactions
`H`	Airtel Money collections	Digital Payments
`J`	Stock Journal	Transactions
`Z`	POS dashboard	Reports
`F`	Profit & Loss account	Reports
`B`	Balance Sheet	Reports
`M`	Group summary	Reports
`K`	Stock summary	Reports
`X`	TDS report	Reports
`N`	Bank reconciliation	Reports
`W`	Cash / funds flow	Reports
`1`	Features (feature flags)	Settings
`E`	Company settings	Settings

Shared letters: some screens display the same letter — for example P, O, D, S, T, U, R and G. The first match in menu order wins. For those screens, use the arrow keys and Enter, or click the item.

Voucher function keys

Available inside the finance module when the cursor is not in a text field:

Voucher function keys
Key	Action
`F4`	New Contra voucher
`F5`	New Payment voucher
`F6`	New Receipt voucher
`F7`	New Journal voucher
`F8`	New Sales voucher — when inventory is enabled
`F9`	New Purchase voucher — when inventory is enabled
`F1`	Features
`F3`	Company settings
`Ctrl` + `S`	Save the voucher you are editing

Function keys may be intercepted by the keyboard's own Fn layer, a browser or a remote-desktop client. If nothing happens, check the F-lock or use the menu.

Counter and data entry

Windows and dialogs

Window and dialog keys

Payment module windows	Back link	Return to the previous screen in that window — not to the gateway
Mobile navigation	`Esc`	Close the open menu

One rule: shortcuts are ignored while you are typing, so a letter shortcut never eats a name. Press Esc or click outside the field to use the shortcut.

Train the counter on the shortcuts

Five keys save more time than a new computer. We cover them in the first training session.
