Displaying 'M' and 'S1' fields in quotes

Post by KevinH » 11 Oct 2012, 10:24

When doing quotes/sales orders we sometimes use the message field 'M' or the 'S1' field for a once off product item. These fields will print fine in despatch and invoice but I can't get them to print on the quote or the sales order. Perhaps an example would help explain what we're trying to do.

A prospective customer has various printers in different departments within their building. Instead of just listing the consumables for each printer which will make no sense to them we want to put a memo on a line explaining that the followings products are for a particular office, then another memo for the next office and so on.

Any ideas on how to achieve this?

I suspect that you may have linked in the Stock table

Because there is no matching record for the codes M S1 etc no record is returned.

You can fix this by removing the stock table or by altering the join type to the table, I think it needs to be parent outer, there are only 3 type so you can find out by trail and error.

If this is not the case attach the layout to a post and I can have a look at it.
