Print Storage Invoices


This window titled Print Storage Invoices controls the printing of the un-printed storage invoices. It also will mark each invoice as Printed if the Reprint Invoices box is blank (un-checked).


Format to Print: Select the invoice format you wish to print. Enter the number of the user-defined Storage Invoice Format to be printed. The description of the format selected will be displayed to the right of this field. Only one invoice format can be printed at a time since different forms may be required for the different invoice formats. The Storage Manager module will accommodate up to 99 different Storage Invoice Formats. Press the {?} to the right of this field to open a window titled Select Invoice Format which displays a list of the currently available Storage Invoice Formats.

[Ö] Reprint Invoices: The system will automatically place a check mark in this box when an Invoice Format is selected. Point your mouse cursor to this box and left-click your mouse one time to check or un-check this box, based on the following explanation of this field:

If this box is un-checked, then all of the invoices printed by this invoice printing process will be flagged as "Printed" and these invoices will no longer appear on the Print Current Storage Invoices window. They will be moved from the Current Storage Invoice File to the Re-Print Invoice File.

NOTE: The Print Invoices button on the Print Current Storage Invoices window will print all invoices for a specified Invoice Format in a batch printing process. Invoices which have been flagged as printed and moved to the Re-Print Invoice File can only be printed on an individual basis using the Re-Print Invoices option on the Transactions Pull-Down Menu. Please note, however, that you can move invoices from the Re-Print Invoice File back to the Current Storage Invoice File and vice versa, as needed, by simply changing the Invoice Printed status on the View Storage Invoice window. If you need to print more than one copy of these invoices, then check this box. When this box is checked, the system will not flag the invoices as "Printed" in the Invoice Master File, thereby keeping these invoices in the Print Current Storage Invoices window. This feature allows customers who use the Regular Paper Invoice Format the ability to print multiple copies of those invoices.


NOTE: After you have printed all the needed copies of the invoices, you must repeat the print process one more time, leaving this Re-Print Invoices box un-checked so the system will mark these invoices as printed and move them to the Re-Print Invoice File. This time you will simply print the invoices to the screen but not to paper.

[ Begin ] Press this button to begin this invoice print process. Make sure that the proper invoice forms are in your printer for the Invoice Format selected above. Once this button is pressed, the [Cancel] button will be disabled.

[ Cancel ] Press this button to cancel this operation and return to the previous window without printing any invoices. Once the [Begin] button is pressed, then this button will be disabled.

Records Read: This is an informational field only which displays the total number of records read during this printing process. You cannot edit the information in this field.

Records Selected: This is an informational field only which displays the total number of records selected during this printing process. You cannot edit the information in this field.

[ OK ] This button will become enabled as soon as the printing process has completed. Press this button to close this window and return to the previous window.

[ Help ] Press this button (if available) or the F1 key to view the Help text for this window.
