Multiple Invoice Formats

rbuser

Hi,

I am using RB7.0 with D5 and MSDE. We have an Inventory control type
application and have the following requirement:

1) Our software contains a standard invoice (using RB stored with the EXE)
that is printed automatically when an sales-order is confirmed.
2) Users would like to be able to create their own custom invoice formats
3) Users want to select what invoice format to use for each customer (in a
table not as it is printed)
4) The data required should be the same each time. I want t present all the
possible data related to an order and let the user select what is required
for each invoice format.

I just wanted to get some advice on the best way to achieve this.

Thanks for any advice.

Regards,
Matthew Pascoe

1. One option is to create a custom dataview template. Then the end-user can
select File | New.. from the Data workspace and select your template. For an
example, see RBuilder\Demos\Custom DataViews.

2. Another option is to use the Data workspace to create a dataview that
contains all of the relevant data for an invoice. Then select File | Export
to export the invoice data to a folder in the report explorer called Invoice
Data.

Then the end-user can create a new report by importing the dataview and
creating the format.

It would also be possible to use the Report.Template.OnNew event to
initialize the report data for the end-user..
