Contents of the Print Sales Order Acknowledgments Screen

Use the fields and options to configure the Print Sales Order Acknowledgments screen.

Identification

Use the fields in this block to create a new parameter ID or to retrieve a previously saved parameter ID. A parameter ID represents a set of screen selection parameters. After you have saved a parameter ID and its related parameters, you can retrieve them using Query.

You can use the retrieved parameters to produce reports and run processes more efficiently and with greater consistency. The saved parameters are also useful and necessary when you want to run the process as part of a batch job. Many users save a unique set of parameters for each different way they run a report or process. When you select a previously saved parameter ID or parameter description, the associated saved screen selection parameters automatically display as selection defaults. The page setup and print options, if there are any, are also included in the saved parameter ID. You can change any of the associated selection defaults as necessary.

Field Description
Parameter ID

Enter, or click to select, a parameter ID of up to 15 alphanumeric characters. Choose characters for your parameter ID that help identify the type of selections you made on the screen, such as PERIOD or QUARTERLY.

When you save your record, all the selections made on the screen are stored with the parameter ID. Later, you can retrieve the parameter using Query.

You can use the parameter to run the process more efficiently because you can select the parameter ID with its previously defined screen selections. After the default selections display on the screen, you can override the defaults.

Description

Enter, or click to select, a parameter description of up to 30 alphanumeric characters.

Select this check box to include previously printed acknowledgments in this print run, provided they are within the selection criteria. You can indicate that the acknowledgment has been printed if you select the Printed check box (in acknowledgment group box) on the Customer Details tab of the Manage Sales Orders screen. If you reprint the order, the word "DUPLICATE" prints on the hard copy. Once this printing process is completed, the system updates the acknowledgment printed check box on Enter Sales Orders screen. If you select Duplicate check box for the acknowledgment in the Highlight group box on the Configure Sales Order Print Options screen, "DUPLICATE" displays as emphasized text.

Leave this check box empty to include only sales orders that have not been previously printed.

Select this check box to enable the options in the Hdr Notes Placement group box. This check box defaults with the status of the option in the Header Notes group box for the acknowledgment in the Placement Defaults group box on the Configure Sales Order Print Options screen.

For each component, the item, revision, U/M, order quantity and description prints in the normal positions.
