In date and number fields, you can use abbreviations.

Date Fields

In date fields, you can use the following abbreviations.

Key Command	Action
T or t	Today's date
Y or y	Yesterday's date
5.1 or 0501	May 1 of the current year
5.1.17, 5.1.2017, 050117, or 05012017	May 1 of 2017

Note: You can combine date and time abbreviations (for example, 5.1 12:00 = May 1 of the current year at 12:00 hours). If you only enter a date, the time defaults to 00:00 hours.

Number Fields

In number fields, such as Qty or Amt, you can use K or k (followed by a space or not) to represent 1,000. For example:

30K, 30k, or 30 k = 30,000
