Invoice layout per department

Good afternoon Folks

Is it possible to set Sage 50 to use different invoice layouts for goods dispatched from different departments within Sage by default?

We use two distinct departments within Sage, one of which requires specific information on the invoice and the other doesn't.
I can adjust the layout to include the data quite easily but it then follows through to all invoices as things are set up at the moment.

Any advice?

Regards
Rodger Caldwell

Add the extra text on the layout,
set the suppress printing property to true.
set the conditional formatting property to if Department = 1 then suppress printing = false.

You can add multiple text boxes and set each of them with conditions for different departments then stack them on top of each other.

Thanks as ever Bruce.

The only issue I have now is setting up the print filters.
I had amended the layout from the invoice tab within the original test sales order that we created. Can I assume that invoices are generated to go out to the customer from the invoice module?
I did look in here and naturally my amended layout isn't available from there. Not a problem to redo or export to there.

I'm also unsure where to access the formatting rules. I'm familiar with the process as we use it in other modules but can't seem to find the prompt to build the format from invoicing.

Cheers

Rodger

If you right click, you can open explorer in the directory containing the layout files and copy them from one location to another.
