🔍 Add Search Functionality in Supplier/Customer Dropdown

As the list of suppliers and customers grows, it becomes difficult for users to manually scroll through long dropdown menus. Adding search functionality enhances usability by allowing users to quickly find and select the desired entry by typing part of the name.

Benefits

• Improved User Experience: Users can instantly search for entries without navigating through lengthy lists.
• Efficient Workflow: Reduces time spent on finding and selecting options, making the data entry process faster.
• Scalability: As the application grows and more entries are added, the search functionality ensures the dropdown remains practical and manageable.

Implementation Ideas

• Use CTkComboBox or similar widgets that support dynamic filtering of items based on user input.
• Filter the dropdown options in real-time as the user types, showing only matching entries.
• Provide placeholder text like “Search supplier...” to guide users on how to use the feature.

Impact

Incorporating search functionality in dropdowns will significantly enhance the accessibility and performance of the application, especially for users handling large datasets. It ensures a seamless, intuitive experience for both new and experienced users.
