Shipment Invoices, Need help big time.

[e121c]

ok so I have played around a little with the Reports and Design Funtion of PT. However, I ship cargos and cargos of Heavy metal Disc from overseas and my customers require me to have the following fields.

1. B/L which consist of random numbers and alphabets.
2. Container # on the top of each Invoice
3. PO number on the side of each Item Number
4. Number of Pallets.

thoes 4 Fields are a MUST for all invoices and packing lists, however, i am running out of Fields to change. Right now I am substituting Customer PO to B/L and Ship Via to Container#. is there anyone out there that can teach me on how to insert thoes extra fields?

One feasible answer is to create a custom Cyrstal Reports Invoice with user prompts asking for the additional field information. These new fields can then be placed on the report form according to your needs.

The PO on the side of each item number is easy - open your invoice form in design mode, double click on the column group and check the box for purchase order number and move it where you want and adjust the column widths to make it fit. The only flaw is that it also shows the PO on lines with no items which looks pretty dumb.

As for the other information - could you just put that in the body of the invoice before your line items?

I would either put them in as comments, or make up an "item" with description only, and put in the basic shell template, and fill it out complete when invoicing.
