How to alter Invoice appearance
Hi all, is there a way to alter the invoice sheet appearance, for example, move the shops email and web address from the bottom of the invoice up to the top under where our name and address are? Thank you

Re: How to alter Invoice appearance
You can change Invoice templates, but not generally the layout within a template. These are created with Crystal Reports and unless you have that program and are reasonably fluent with it, modifying a template isn't common. Customized templates are overwritten every update.
That said, there are a few different templates to choose from, and if you are a Bolt-On subscriber you get even more.

Re: How to alter Invoice appearance
It would be really awesome if the bolt on invoices were integrated so we didn't have to click so many things to print them. If I see the flow correctly - we have to choose propak, then report pro then print the invoice? Or am I missing something?

Leave ReportPro running and minimized. While working in Manager, finish the details of the order. When you're ready to print, simply click over to ReportPro and click on Quick Invoice. This is only 2 clicks and happens very quickly since ReportPro is already running. You can configure Quick Invoice to print as many copies as you desire and to the printer you usually use.

Re: How to alter Invoice appearance
Ric is right. And there is yet an easier way. Install the report pro "virtual printer" from inside of report pro. Go to M1 print config page and set the printer for your invoice to "Report Pro". Inside of report pro make sure your quick report is set up (as Ric pointed out). Now from inside of M1 you can click the print button or use the Control-P shortcut to print your invoice. Gerald

Yes, Yes. I should have mentioned that. We don't use it that way because we like to see the output before printing. Very good indeed.Gerald Martin wrote:Ric is right. And there is yet an easier way.

Re: How to alter Invoice appearance
That's a great tip, Gerald. I only wish there was a way to automate that process somehow.
