Have you already read the new Efficient usage of Procountor's default settings article?
The article discusses about how to get all the benefits out of Procountor's default settings. If usage settings, product and customer settings are set before invoice is created the invoice information will be automatically filled in, accounting will be done according to the set accounting defaults and the invoice creator only has to check the invoice details and do slight modifications. By using defaults you will save time and manual work after which you will have more time to actual business.
