    The Issue: Being able to create multiple lines on a sales order or invoice is difficult with the standard screen layouts where tabs are associated with table relationships such as MOrder->MOrderLine.  However, users want to be able to quickly enter new products when making a sale without keeping customers longer than necessary at the till.

    This solution: Allow the user to search the product window (InfoProduct) - filtering by vendor if necessary as often products are associated by vendor - and allow the user to select multiple products from the InfoProduct window.  When the window is accepted (green tick), one order/invoice line is created for each product selected with a quantity of one.  If multiple items are required then the user must navigate to the order/invoice line as usual and update the qty.

    A screenshot of the form is here: http://www.adempiere.com/wiki/index.php/Image:Screenshot-Product_Info.png

    Many thanks to Ashley from Posterita who coded the first version
