Marg software shortcut keys are shown along the bottom and side of most Marg ERP windows, so the quickest way to learn them is to read those hints on the screen you use daily. From the main window, Alt + X brings up the company list, and in a list of bills F6 opens the bill status.
Busy publishes a full list. In Busy, F2 saves a voucher or master, F3 adds a master, and Ctrl with a function key opens a new entry directly, such as Ctrl + F8 for sales and Ctrl + F9 for purchase.

Marg software shortcut keys
Marg ERP shows its keys on screen, and the exact set changes with the edition and the window. Commonly used ones reported by Marg users include Alt + P for a purchase entry, Alt + C for a sale challan and Ctrl + W to save an entry, but check them against the hints in your own copy before training staff. Marg's own help portal documents Alt + X for the company list and F6 for bill status from the bills list.
Habits that speed up billing
- Keep one hand on the function keys and save every bill with the save key rather than the mouse.
- Create item and party masters before the rush hour, so new names do not interrupt billing.
- Use standard narrations for repeated entries such as rent and salary.
- Take a backup at the end of each day from the utilities menu.
If you also use Tally in the same office, compare keys with Tally Prime shortcut keys, since the same function key often does different things.
