Dynamic Selection Lists
Selection Lists are used throughout the software e.g. a debtor transaction history, the difference from our old selection lists is that they can be in any order, ref no, ref date, post date, post time, amount, balance, type, order no or outstanding. This type of flexibility is available in all selection lists making it so much easier when searching.
