Most windows are organized the same way in ADempiere. At the top of the window is a tool bar of icons, shown above, that is common across all Windows.
While the Web Application and the Java Client are mostly similar, there are a few differences. Specifically, the web application:
does not have both print and print-preview. In the Web Application there are the same thing so there is only one icon.
does not have a Home icon.
does not have an Exit icon.
does have a button to allow "quicksheet" entry
The details of the various toolbar icons follow:
