Auto populate Vendor name

When going to enter in vendor invoice, rather than clicking on the 3 dots it would be so much more efficient if you could start typing in the vendor name or ID and it will auto populate the vendor name

  If you are entering transactions for the same vendor, you can use the F5 hotkey to autfill in the last vendor name used. For more hot keys, search for the knowledge based article content or in the help topic

  I agree with Jordan. F4 is helpful in some fields, but a royal pain to have to use all the time. I should be able to start typing and find the option I want.

  Bryan, let's get this done. For now, any field that has ... should be able to have smart lookup. We are coming up on 4 years since this request has been put in.

  Smart lookup has been around since the 90's - you start typing the name and the dropdown opens up and takes you to the correct name in the list - come on already.

  I think Michael Lewis was hacked. I've informed Viewpoint, don't open his attachments.

  Suggestions similar to this have been made.  In fact, if you check out the "Popular" suggestions list, you will see this same suggestion is the 2nd most popular one.  However, it has been more than a year now and nothing as of yet has been implemented in the program to address this request/suggestion.

  Fill in fields as you type WITHOUT having to pull up the drop down box Merged
