The style code assigned to your Items in the Edit Items area directly correspond to the similarly named Detail Section in your invoice specification. The Item's style code defines what Detail Section they will print under on your invoice, when the fields are placed in that section on your invoice/credit note specification in Designer. Of course, a Detail Section for that style code must exist on your specfication before any items for that code will print on your documents.

For example, Items with Style Code A defined will print as defined under Detail Section A, Items w/SC B fields will print as defined in Detail Section B and so on.

The information (fields) in each Detail Section will print in order of how they are placed on your specification. E.G. If your Sections are in the order (from top to bottom) A, B, C, D - then that is the order they will print on the document, while if you have the order of Detail Sections D, A, C, B - your document will print the information for those sections in that order.

You cannot directly access a Style Code in Designer - it is attached to the Item itself.

To 'define the formatting attributable to each code' you would insert a Detail Section corresponding to each Style Code you have defined in Invoices, and place the fields desired into this section from the Specification List appropriate for the invoice detail sections (from the "Item" and associated sub-sections on the list).

In Help, under 'Terms' you can find definitions for fields, codes etc used in Designer.

The best thing you can do is open the Softrak\QIWIN\Samdata - open Designer and any one of the sample specifications to see the correlation between Style Codes and Detail Sections to see further how this works together.
