Note New form codes are saved for the current user and company. The last form code entered appears as the default code the next time this task is accessed.

Description

Type the description of the form code.

Batch

This field displays the batch number selected in the Print Batch window and can only be viewed. If more than one batch is selected, MULT is displayed. Click the Batch Number button to select one or more batch numbers to print. This field is available only if the Enable check box is selected for batch processing in the module's Options window.

Number of Copies

Select the number of copies to print.

This field is available only if the Multi-Part Form Enabled check box is cleared.

Collated

Select this check box to print each copy of the report or form in proper binding order when printing multiple copies. Clear this check box if you do not want to collate the report or form. This check box is available only if the value selected in the Number of Copies field is greater than 1.

Select this check box to enable multi-part printing using the Multi Part Form Maintenance window. The Multi Part button is available only if this check box is selected. Clear this check box to disable multi-part printing.

Multi-part printing allows you to print your documents to multiple locations. This functionality takes the place of preprinted multiple part carbon/carbonless forms.

Print Additional Packing Lists with Contents

Select this check box to print a separate packing list for each box if the order being shipped has multiple boxes and the items for each box have been entered. The additional packing lists print in addition to the master packing list. Click Additional Form to set up the additional packing lists using Additional Packing List Printing. The Additional Form button is available only if this check box is selected.

Clear this check box if you do not want to print a separate packing list for each box. The setting in this check box defaults based on whether the Print Additional Packing Lists with Contents check box is selected in Shipping Setup Options.

Print Comments

Select the type of comments to print.

Select Full to print the entire comment entered on the Lines tab of the applicable data entry window.

Select Partial to print only the first 100 characters of the comment entered on the Lines tab.

Select None if you do not want to print Lines tab comments.

Print Bill Options

Select this check box to print bill options on the form, including codes and descriptions. Clear this check box to exclude bill options on the form. This field is available only if the Bill of Materials module is installed.

Charge Items

Select this check box to print charge items in addition to packing list items. Clear this check box to print only packing list items.

Note Regular inventory items, special items, and miscellaneous items print automatically.

Line Messages

Enter up to two lines of messages to print on the form.

Operand

Select an operand to limit your selection to a particular value or range of values. When selecting a value using the Lookup button or entering a value directly into the Value field (and moving out of the field), the operand automatically changes to Equal to. Likewise, when selecting a value using the Lookup button for a range or entering values directly into both Value fields, the operand automatically changes to Range.

The following operands are available:

Operand

Operand Function

All Selects all information for the Select Field.

Begins with Selects only the information for the Select Field that begins with the value entered in the Value field.

Ends with Selects only the information for the Select Field that ends with the value entered in the Value field.

Contains Selects only the information for the Select Field that contains the value entered in the Value field.

Less than Selects only the information for the Select Field that is less than, but not equal to, the value entered in the Value field.

Greater than Selects only the information for the Select Field that is greater than or equal to the value entered in the Value field.

Range

When Range is selected, two Value fields are used. Information is selected that is greater than or equal to the first value entered and less than or equal to the second value entered in the Value fields.

Note Entries in the "From" Value field may change to the entry made in the "To" Value field, if the "From" Value contains a lowercase letter and the "To" Value contains an uppercase letter. This occurs because lowercase letters are greater than uppercase letters. For example, if 01a is entered in the "From" Value field and 01C is entered in the "To" Value field, the "From" Value field changes to 01C.

Equal to

Selects only the information for the Select Field that is equal to the value entered in the Value field.

Not Equal to

Selects only the information for the Select Field that is not equal to the value entered in the Value field.

Additional operands are available for date Select fields. The system date is used to calculate the date ranges. When one of the date operands is selected, the Value fields automatically default to the appropriate dates.

You can use commas (,) to separate multiple values; however, if your selection values already contain commas, you must use alternate separators to separate them.

Note When alternate separators are used, the value list must end with the alternate separator character.

The alternate separators include the following:

~ ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) = [ ] \ ; " / _ + { } | : < > ?

Note If you enter a value that contains a comma (for example, if a vendor number is 01-SAGE,WEST), then you must enclose the value with an alternate separator (for example, %01-SAGE,WEST%). Because the comma is a separator, if the value is not enclosed in alternate separators, the system can search for two incorrect values (for example, "01-SAGE" and "WEST", instead of "01-SAGE,WEST").

If your company uses commas in item codes, use an alternate separator to select one or multiple item codes.

Value

Enter a value based on the operand entered, or click the Lookup or Calendar button to select a value from the list. Multiple values can be entered by using a comma or alternate separators to separate values.

You can enter single or multiple values as follows:

Operand

Value

All Selects all information for the Select Field.

Begins with

Multiple values are separated by a comma or alternate separator. An OR condition is assumed.

Ends with

Multiple values are separated by a comma or alternate separator. An OR condition is assumed.

Contains

Multiple values are separated by a comma or alternate separator. An OR condition is assumed.

Less than Only single values are allowed.

Greater than Only single values are allowed.

Range Both Value fields are used to define a range. Only single values are allowed at each Value field.

Equal to Multiple values are separated by a comma or alternate separator. An OR condition is assumed.

Not Equal to

Multiple values are separated by a comma or alternate separator. An AND condition is assumed.

Note If you enter a value that contains a comma (for example, if a vendor number is 01-SAGE,WEST), then you must enclose the value with an alternate separator (for example, %01-SAGE,WEST%). Because the comma is a separator, if the value is not enclosed in alternate separators, the system can search for two incorrect values (for example, "01-SAGE" and "WEST", instead of "01-SAGE,WEST").

Keep Window Open After Print

Select this check box to keep this window open after you print. Clear this check box if you want this window to close automatically after you print.

Note The selection for this check box is set by user and workstation.

Keep Window Open After Preview

Select this check box to keep this window open after you preview the report or form. Clear this check box if you want this window to automatically close after you preview the report or form.

Note The selection for this check box is set by user and workstation.

When you are finished printing, click Print Add’l Documents to print the next form, report, or register in your printing sequence. This button appears only if your system is set up to automatically prompt you to print other forms, reports, or registers after you print documents from this window.

Printer/Output

Select a printer or output method. The following output methods are available:

Select Deferred to save the report or listing to your hard drive for printing at a future time using Deferred Printing.

Select Export to export to a file type, such as PDF or Excel. The file can then be saved to your hard drive.

Select Data Only Export to export only the data portion of the report (excluding header information) to a file type, such as PDF or Excel. The file can then be saved to your hard drive or e-mailed.
