Products and their associated data may be added to an order by using the Paste facility rather than by keying the data.
The product data needs to be copied into the clipboard using the structure below to ensure that it is placed in the correct box.
Each row in the clipboard contains a separate product line data and if product codes are included then they will be validated with the order's buyer/seller product codes that have been loaded.
The row structure is:

A Product Code
B Description
C Items / Unit
D Quantity
E Unit Price
F Total Value
G Not used

Columns may be empty. If all columns for a row are empty then the row is bypassed.
Use the Auto-Add button to add the product lines to the order. If the order already has some product lines then the pasted product lines will follow on from the existing lines.

Note that the Preview page only displays the first 6 columns as above.
