These form fields are available from the Barcode/text printer labels or the slip printer invoice printing.
Some fields do not work in all places. ie: KEYWORD only prints when printed from a shipping label.
System Five gives you total control over the content of the printed information. To demonstrate the control that you have, an example of an Sales Warning/Up Sell Comment is used. In our example, an Inventory Item has the following Sales Warning/Up Sell comment.
All Sales Final! This item has been discontinued by the Supplier. To Staff: No Returns or Refunds without a Supervisors Approval.
System Five views the comment above as 3 separate lines of text, thereby allowing the definition of labels that only print specific desired lines. The amount text printing from each line can also be controlled. For example: to print a label including the complete first line and only a portion of the second, the following syntax is used in the label definition:
< N.COMMENT:1,-1> This tells System Five to print the entire first line on the Warning. < N.COMMENT:2,32> This tells the system to print the first 32 characters in the second line of the Warning.
The third line comment line and the portion of the second line that states 'by the Supplier' does not print. All three lines however are seen when the item is sold to customer or when the inventory item is opened for editing or viewing.
The anatomy of the field codes: N.COMMENT:1,-1 (N) = The Prefix (.) = The period indicates the end of the prefix. (COMMENT) = The field Code. (:) = The Full Colon is used to indicate that a number is next. (1) = The Number indicates the line or list item. (,) = The Comma indicates that a Length value is next. (-1 or a number) = The use of (-1) as a length tells the system to print all of the text in the line = Another number, such as (20) prints the first 20 characters.
The following are some examples of location-specific labels:
