Wildcard Entry
Wildcard Entry lets you type the wildcard symbol, @, and a name or identifier to find.
This doesn't always work as hoped, but when it does it works fabulously, saving time.
If you entering an Account and forgot the Code, type @ and a unique part of the name.
Reapply Defaults
Reapply Defaults helps validate changes by reapplying Default Settings when helpful.
Saving an Inventoried item as not-Sold removes its Cost of Goods Sold Account. Later, if Sold is checked, BigBusiness reapplies the Default Cost of Goods Account to help.
Defaults are required for accounting. Sold, Inventoried items require a COGS Account. This change helps avoid getting stuck by reapplying the default accounting for changes.

Right-click the Filter box above Vendor Name and choose # Not Equal To and Tab out. This will reduce the Items Search results to those "not equal to" blank for this Column.
Items Search
