The Toolbar in F&O

Once you've navigated into a module or opened a specific page, like a vendor record, journal entry, or purchase order you'll notice a toolbar at the top of the screen. This is called the Action Pane, and it's where most of your interaction happens.

At the far left of the Action Pane, you'll find three key buttons that are always present, no matter which page or module you're in:

ButtonFunctionWhy it matters
BackReturns you to the previous page or list viewKeeps navigation smooth and intuitive
Save/EditToggles between editing mode and saving changes to the current recordLets users switch into edit mode and commit updates without hunting for controls
NewCreates a new record (e.g., a new invoice, customer, or journal)Starts fresh entries without needing to re-navigate

These buttons are anchored in place; they won't shift or disappear as you move through tabs or sections within a form. That consistency helps users stay oriented and confident, especially when multitasking or working quickly.
