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.

I would be happy to pass on suggestions if you would tell us exactly what you would like R&D to add to the formatting features available when right-clicking on a section or specification code?

Thanks
Support

Yes, that makes sense. I will pass it on - thank you for taking the time to detail it.

Don't know if we will have to 'marry' Adagio OE and Invoices as OE can produce/print invoices and cn's just as nice as Adagio Invoices does! What did you have in mind?

OE can print Picking Slips/Lists sorted by either Picking sequence, Item Number or Line Number and you can also select to reprint orders already printed OR only Orders that have been confirmed. It will also print separate Order Confirmations.

OE has gone to production and will be shipping within the next couple of weeks! Softrak Partners can now download the NFR Demo from our website.

Sincerely

Adagio OE can add new IC items on the fly while entering an Order, whether they are Non-stock or not (as long as you have a User-specified costing method setup for one of your Account Sets in IC). You can either click on the New Button in the detail screen to add it, or just enter the new number into the Item field on the detail screen - Adagio will then issue a prompt to confirm whether you want to create a new item or not after telling you it cannot find the item entered!

From there, you are taken to the Add New Item area to enter the applicable information for this item.

This would work for Consulting fees and other types of hourly charges as well, but you would likely have to have fractional quantities setup in IC as well.
