ORD 500 entry short cuts?

[MacWheel99@xxxxxxx]

What are the practical alternatives to keying in customer orders & order 
changes via ORD500?  We are 405 CD Green Screen with customers that send us 
weekly changes to blanket orders.  The sales order entry people do not like 
having to switch between several screens of data for each order line & only 
have 3 order lines per screen - they would rather do heads down keying of the 
data than every other keystroke seemingly being a tab or function key.  I 
think that what we need is EDI-like customer requirements to scanner or from 
fax to PC spread sheet massaged to show what the customer is asking for, then 
a net change direct data collection into the customer order files.  Do any 
such products exist or am I whistling modification backlog?
