Select the

Order details with spec. An order format is selected from a list of up to 10
formats. (The ability to be able to select from up to 10 order formats allows a decision to be
made as to which of the formats is most suitable for the specific order being printed; it also
allows for the combination of the print order selection types).
The Print Order form is displayed.
This form is constituted of three elements, which are as follows:
In addition to displaying the form name the Title Bar provides a number of useful buttons.
There are four option/radio buttons contained within the form header that are as follows:
Print All Items: When all items are to be printed selection of this option button initiates a simple process that prints all of the items in the FK.aspec file to a single supplier. In this case the supplier is automatically the Main Supplier.
The sequence of events in this case is as follows
The Supplier is already selected (in this case it is the main supplier).
The Print command button is selected. This displays the Printer List Box form enabling the printer destination to be selected from a list of currently available printers.
All items lines are printed to the selected printer.
The items are marked as printed using the field FK.apec.PRINTED - (a tick is displayed against these items in the Printed column) of the Specification Grid in the Order Tab.
The agreement is set to Order in progress status if it was previously Accepted.
The print ensures that all of the FK.aspec items receive a body line of their own on the print so that orders of several pages can be accommodated. This replaces any assumption that specification items should be concatenated onto a maximum of four lines. If this is required on the order then the body line used for specification items should be set to a value of zero in the format and the spec items printed in an alternative body section. This permits either a detailed or summary view of the items that are being fitted.
Selection of a format define whether any items lines on the specification appear with zero values because the leasing company are paying an alternative item supplier directly.
Print Selected Items: The Print checkbox is enabled in the Specification Item grid so selected items can be printed only. The choice is then made as to whether to Print To Main Supplier or Print To Item Supplier via the now enabled option buttons below. Once the main or item supplier is selected then the Account to pay field is populated with the applicable Purchase Ledger account.
Print To Main Supplier: All specification items may be ordered from a main supplier or, perhaps, the main body of the vehicle is to be ordered from the main supplier whilst various specification items are to be ordered from an alternative supplier. The specification items to be printed are flagged via the Print checkbox and then the main supplier or item supplier option checkbox selected as required and the correct PL account selected in the Account to pay field. This option button determines that the selected items are to be ordered from the main supplier.
Print To Item Supplier>: All specification items may be ordered from a main supplier or, perhaps, the main body of the vehicle is to be ordered from the main supplier whilst various specification items are to be ordered from an alternative supplier. The specification items to be printed are flagged via the Print checkbox and then the main supplier or item supplier option checkbox selected as required and the correct PL account selected in the Account to pay field. This option button determines that the selected items are to be ordered from an item supplier.
Account to pay: Selection of the
button allows selection from the suppliers already selected within the Order Tab.
