First time I used radicore I found the transactions not too intuitive. I know that is personal, but I just wanted to show you this layout to see what you think:

This is based on the screens you can see here:

After decades of experience of writing transactions, and of dealing with the people who actually use them, your example contains too much data on a single screen. It's what users call "too busy" and is something that I avoid as far as possible.

Those screens might seem like too busy, but it's actually easier. I did two draft images to show you but I can't seem to upload the images.

"easier" is a matter of opinion. My experience tells me that the typical user finds it difficult to deal with a screen that has too much information on it.

That's why I wanted to post the draft I drawed, because you will see more clearly what I mean.

I uploaded the drafts here:

That is only slightly different from what I already have. I still do not see any advantage in trying to pack as much information into a single screen as possible.
