- Depending on the type of form you want to print,
open and display the transaction in its corresponding window.
- To print
a new transaction's form, open and display the corresponding task
window, then enter the new transaction information.
- To display
a previously entered transaction, you can select the Open
or List toolbar button in its
respective task window to search and display the transaction. You can
also double-click the transaction in a displayed report to display the
transaction in its corresponding task window.
Drill
down on transactions in displayed reports
- With the transaction displayed, select the Print
button to print the transaction's corresponding form.
The Print\Preview Forms
window appears. It displays the number of the next form to print.
- If you have not entered a form number (for
example, an invoice or check number) for the transaction, Sage 50 will
use the next sequential form number based on the last form printed. You
can change this number unless the form is a sales order, in which case
you won't be able to change the number.
- If you have entered the form number in the
task window, or if you are working with a preexisting form that already
has a form number assigned to it, then Sage 50 will use this number;
you will not be able to change it.
- To choose a form to print, select the Select
Form button.
The Form Selector window appears, letting you choose from a list
of available forms.
Note: Once you
have printed a form for the first time, the Use this form field will display the name of the last form type printed—for example, Invoice Continuous.
- To change printers or print properties, select
the Printer Setup button.
- To redesign the form, select Form
Design.
The Forms
Design window appears.
- To print a sample form using placeholder text instead of actual data, select Print Sample. This allows you to verify the alignment of the form before you print the actual form.
- To print an actual copy of the form, select Print.
After the form is printed, the transaction is posted (or saved).
Then, Sage 50 displays a blank task window.
