Reprinting Estimates

Post by dandsautoandtruck »

The original Estimate created date does not show when you reprint the estimate later from revisions. Tried to add a note to the original and it did not print. Can you add this information in for the future?

Estimates printed from Revisions show the print date, not the created date. You can add a note to manually show the created date as I have below. I don;t know why yours didn't print, but it does. I used Est w/o hours in this example.

If I put in a note line in revision and try to print, it does not show up. I have to have it in a labor line to get it to print. Yes I do have the box check to print.
Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me, I want people to know why I look this way. I've traveled a long way, and some of the roads weren't paved.

dandsautoandtruck, could you please confirm the Print on Order box is checked for the note item?

Also, which template are you two using for Estimates?

I tested it here, 7.3.10, added only a note "test print for notes" and it printed.

I wonder if you are 'seeing the note", I see it may be hard to discern which text IS the note. There is no line break after 'work performed'. Perhaps it needs a bit of special treatment to
make the note more visible?

I had the same problem at first. I added a period to the first line to force the rest of the text down a line. :D
