SUMMARY
This article describes how to print more than four lines of the document comment on the SOP Blank Invoice form.
MORE INFORMATION
You can modify the report in Report Writer.
If you follow these steps, there are some limitations that will apply:
a. The report will only work if you print one document at a time from within the Sales Transaction Entry window. To locate this window, click Sales, click Transactions, and then click Sales Transaction Entry.
b. If you try to print a batch or a range of invoices, the program does not print the comments with the correct document. To correct the problem, add the comment text to the PH section of the report. However, your comments will then print at the top of the invoice instead of at the bottom.
c. For graphical reports, you will have to make the comment text field as wide as the line items that you need in the report. Otherwise, the program will only print the first line of your comment. Realize that by widening the comment text field, you may see a blank space if there are few or no comments for a particular document.
