SAP Business One Shortcuts

Shortcuts are a wonderful thing. And there's actually no system that doesn't work with shortcuts – in fact, it's often necessary. Quite often it's a matter of „taste“ how you want to work with a system, whether you're more of a „mouse person“ or prefer to keep your hands on the keyboard.
