Hotprinting
Use hotprinting to print documents - such as invoices, credit notes, packing slips, cheques, and the like - from within data entry forms.
Follow these step to enable the hotprint feature within a module:
- Ensure there is a printer set up for the workstation.
- Select the Hotprint option on the Module Control form — for example, Accounts Receivable Module Control, Sales Orders Module Control.
- Assign the relevant report formats, as applicable to the module.
This uses the Module Control form.
For example, you can assign the default invoice format in Accounts Receivable Module Control, the default packing slip format in SO Module Control). You can also assign report formats at a customer/supplier specific level using the a maintenance form.
- Assign the printer for hotprinting reports.
