I broke the ‘enter in source order’ rule on a 300-invoice batch where maybe 70 percent shared the same vendor layout, and instead of marching top to bottom I regrouped them by vendor to cut down on field switching and context resets, which helped. I duplicated my browser, pinned the form on the right and the CSV on the left, sorted the sheet by vendor, used simple Tab/Shift+Tab. Ctrl+C/V, and a text expander for two boilerplate fields, and kept the mouse parked. I prefilled date and terms, pasted amounts as plain text to avoid comma/locale hiccups, and used a quick sheet filter to jump between vendor chunks without re-sorting. That run averaged 74 records per hour across four hours. is that high or low for invoice-style entries in a web ERP?
Grouping by vendor often beats strict source order when 70% of a 300-invoice batch share the same layout. Save a vendor preset. batch the 300 invoices by vendor. That minimizes field switching and context resets, so throughput climbs unless QA requires source order.
