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
