Field |
Description |
Print Invoice Copies |
Enter the number of copies of each invoice to print. The system uses this default when the Invoice Print Copies field in the Customer Pricing/Printing window is blank. Note: If you print more than one copy of any transaction, all copies after the first are labeled as "Reprint." |
Fax Invoice Copies |
Enter the number of copies of each invoice to fax. The system uses this default when the Invoice Fax Copies field in the Customer Pricing/Printing window for a bill-to customer is blank. |
Max Days To Hold Printing |
Enter the number of days to hold printing up to 99 days. This is based on the invoice date of the sales order. For example, if the invoice printing was held up because the cumulative dollar amount for all the invoices for the customer did not meet the Min Dollars To Print field, then after the indicated days print the invoices. For example, you want $75.00 worth of invoices to print based on the cumulative total for the bill-to invoices. If you do not have that amount, you want to wait four days to see if the customer reaches $75.00. If not, then all invoices print, regardless of the amount. This must be set to greater than zero (0) for the system to check it. Note: These parameters apply only to printing and do not affect e-mailing or faxing invoices. |
Minimum Dollars To Print |
Enter a dollar amount which represents the cumulative dollar amount of all the bill-to customer invoices. When batch invoice printing runs, the system checks each bill-to customer. If the cumulative total of the customer's invoices equals or exceeds the Minimum Dollars To Print field, then all invoices print. If the cumulative total is less than the dollar amount set, but it is past the Max days To Hold Printing field setting, then the system prints the invoices. For example, you want $75.00 worth of invoices to print based on the cumulative total for the bill-to invoices. If you do not have that amount, you want to wait four days to see if the customer reaches $75.00. If not, then all invoices print, regardless of the amount. This must be set to greater than zero (0) for the system to check it. Note: These parameters apply only to printing and do not affect e-mailing or faxing invoices. |
Statement Mode |
Select 0, 1, or 2 to indicate the number of copies of a customer's month-end statement to print or select Fax to fax the statement. The system uses this default when the Batch Statement field in the Customer Pricing/Printing field for a bill-to customer is blank. Note: The system prints statements for customers selected using the Customer option on the Print Statements window regardless of the settings in this control maintenance record or the Customer Maintenance. |
