The 'Notes' button allows you to enter Notes depending on the context. The Notes Button at the top of the screen on the Ribbon is where you enter Notes at the highest level object. Whilst the Notes on a tab allows you to enter Notes on the item shown on the tab on that line level.

When creating new cards, products, sales order, purchase order etc, the Notes button on the top ribbon is not available until you hit save or any other action button. The Notes need to know which document number to save against and therefore you cannot add header notes until you have first saved the transaction. |
