How to direct a Cursor to a specific field when user opens and edits a form of picking list e.g.? Odoo 8

Question

Hello Forum,
How to direct a Cursor to a specific field when user opens and edits a form of picking list e.g.??
The employees need to open a picking list and press edit it, then they type the number of packaged delivered. But when they start typing using the keyboard, the cursor is situated in first field (partner field) and I would like cursor situated directly in a specific field. Is it possible to do it? I mean to change the location of curson when you open and edit a form. Thank you.

You need to change the view definition and add an attribute* default_focus*: set to 1 to put the focus (cursor position) on this field when the form is first opened. There can only be one field within a view having this attribute set to 1.
Example:
<field name="name" default_focus=”1”/>
