Similarly, assuming two document types are similar (e.g. Invoices and Delivery Notes) you can define a document for one document type and copy this document format to the other document type. You can then amend the copied document as required.

Document types and formats can also be copied between companies (i.e. From one company to another).

Document Custom Form Fields

You use this function to define the row and column positions at which you want to print each of up to 10 sales order custom form fields. These are the custom form fields attached to a sales order, a dispatch note, a reprint of an invoice and a reprint of a dispatch invoice.

[Note]
  • Sales order custom form fields are only carried through to a dispatch note if the option: Copy custom form from sales order is selected (Dispatch Note Review). However, custom fields specific to the dispatch note can also be added.

    The dispatch custom form is used as the basis for printing information on a dispatch invoice.

    If you want to print information from the sales order custom form on a dispatch invoice, then you need to set up the dispatch custom form with the same codes as the order form, and select the option Copy custom form from sales order is selected (Dispatch Note Review) to copy forms from the order to the dispatch.

    If you want different information on the dispatch invoice, then you need to set up the dispatch custom form separately (see Dispatch Note Maintenance - Tasks).

  • Dispatch note Customer form fields are only printed on a reprint of a dispatch invoice if the option: Save custom form for reprinting with invoice is selected (Sales Order Setup - Printing tab).

  • Document custom forms are not printed at all on a Consolidated Dispatch Invoice or on a reprint of a Consolidated Dispatch Invoice. The reason is that depending on the level of consolidation, several different dispatches could make up a single line on an invoice and each of these different dispatches could have different custom form information. There is therefore no single custom form to use.

  • Sales order custom form fields are only printed on a reprint of an invoice if the option: Save custom form for reprinting with invoice is selected (Sales Order Setup - Printing tab).

The row refers to the vertical (top to bottom) position on the document, while the column refers to the horizontal (left to right) position on the document.

In a Word document, print positions for these fields are not required, but in the Standard document format they must be defined for the custom fields to print on the document.

Customer Custom Form Fields

You use this function to define the row and column positions at which you want to print each of up to 10 Customer custom form fields. These are the custom form fields attached to a customer.
