Specials Fields Definitions

When you do need to create a new format, or when you need to change an existing format, you must use the (+Z) Setup Report Formats screen. To change an existing format, you can enter the name of the format or press Enter to obtain a list of existing report formats. You can then select the name from the list. To create a new format, instead, simply enter a new format name.

 

When you create a report format for pick tickets or invoices through the (+Z) Setup Formats For Reports screen, you can assign special line numbers indicating that a particular type of message should print on the report. These line numbers (74-99) are valid only for reports that are printed through the (G) Order Entry screen or the (TR) O/E Reports screen.

 

Generic math calculations are created through the (+Z) screen, just as report formats are. However, rather than creating or modifying a report design, your are creating or modifying calculations.

 

A new feature in the (+Z) screen also allows you to print items on an invoice in item company order. If similar products are grouped together, receiving and processing your invoices is easier for your customers. This feature only affects the way an invoice prints. You can still print pick tickets in bin order. You can override the feature with the SEQUENCE special.
