Maintain Purchases Templates

How Do I...

You can set up different formats, known as templates, for entering and reviewing data in the various task windows. When you select the Layout toolbar button and then choose Customize Purchase Layout in the Purchases/Receive Inventory window, Sage 50 displays the Maintain Purchases Templates window, where you can create your own template or modify an existing one. Templates are designed by choosing to add or remove data entry fields.

Predefined templates cannot be edited or deleted. To customize a template, you must first create a new one or edit an existing customized template.
